I have eaten air popped. I wouldn't turn it down but it's pretty akin to
what you said. If I eat it like that, it has to be just that. Nothing
added. Try to add butter or something butter flavored to that and it just
sucks up the oil but only in some spots. Not good. And salt won't stick
unless there is oil. I used to spray it with Weight Watcher's buttery spray
until it dawned on me that I was using about a half a can of that each time.
No thanks.

Pan popped in oil for me.
