No. It isn't microwave popcorn. Do you never get popcorn at the movies?
Pretty much the same stuff. Nothing powdered to it. It's popped in coconut
oil. No dairy. They checked the ingredients for me. I can't stand
standard microwave popcorn.

It can be. They do make some with just popcorn in it. Maybe salt. Nothing
else. That is totally healthy. You can also get it without transfats which
I did try but didn't like the mouth feel of it as it contained palm oil. I
pan pop at home but mine never tastes as good as what they make at Target.
It's always freshly popped.
