We tried five popular brands of microwave popcorn to see which one tastes best.The brands we sampled wereOrville Redenbacher's, Act II, Pop Secret, Jolly Time, and Newman's Own.We likedOrville Redenbacher's the best because of its smooth butter flavor, which was evenly distributed over the popcorn.Jolly Time tasted most closelylike movie theater popcorn and came in second place.Act II came in third, Newman's Own came in fourth, and Pop Secret came in last.There's nothing better than curling up on the couch with a bowl of buttery popcorn.But before you can do that, you have to choose from the numerous brands sold at most grocery stores.Fortunately,four of my co-workers and Idid the research for you.

It was bland and dry, and we couldn't taste much butter or salt at all.Although Newman's popcorn had a solid crunch to it in terms of texture, it was lacking in flavor. One of my co-workers made the point that this snack was salvageable, though.
