I jes scored a West Bend Poppery II(2) hot-air popcorn popper. Yay!

Yeah ....paid $4.30. Looks brand new. I figure it's the last of the
West Bend Poppery II's, as it has no butter warming reservoir, it's
only 1200W, and the cover/chute is clear plastic instead of yellow.
Why do I believe it's the last of the WB Poppery's? It's "Made in
America"!

Anywho ....I don't wanna roast coffee in it, like I've done in so many
other Poppery's. I actually wanna pop popcorn in it! Anyone know how
you use one of these things to do what they were intended for? I
certainly don't.

nb

I got a West Bend 1 made in China, I've only used it twice but so far so good.

How We Got He Washington Politicians Let China Off The Hook


In January 2000, President Bill Clinton boldly promised Chinas
inclusion in the World Trade Organization (WTO) €œis a good deal for
America. Our products will gain better access to Chinas market, and
every sector from agriculture, to telecommunications, to automobiles.
But China gains no new market access to the United States.€� None of what
President Clinton promised came true. Since China joined the WTO,
Americans have witnessed the closure of more than 50,000 factories and
the loss of tens of millions of jobs. It was not a good deal for
America then and its a bad deal now. It is a typical example of how
politicians in Washington have failed our country.

The most important component of our China policy is leadership and
strength at the negotiating table. We have been too afraid to protect
and advance American interests and to challenge China to live up to its
obligations. We need smart negotiators who will serve the interests of
American workers €“ not Wall Street insiders that want to move U.S.
manufacturing and investment offshore.

The Goal Of The Trump Plan: Fighting For American Businesses And Workers


America has always been a trading nation. Under the Trump administration
trade will flourish. However, for free trade to bring prosperity to
America, it must also be fair trade. Our goal is not protectionism but
accountability. America fully opened its markets to China but China has
not reciprocated. Its Great Wall of Protectionism uses unlawful tariff
and non-tariff barriers to keep American companies out of China and to
tilt the playing field in their favor.

If you give American workers a level playing field, they will win. At
its heart, this plan is a negotiating strategy to bring fairness to our
trade with China. The results will be huge for American businesses and
workers. Jobs and factories will stop moving offshore and instead stay
here at home. The economy will boom. The steps outlined in this plan
will make that a reality.

When Donald J. Trump is president, China will be on notice that America
is back in the global leadership business and that their days of
currency manipulation and cheating are over. We will cut a better deal
with China that helps American businesses and workers compete.

The Trump Plan Will Achieve The Following Goals:

Bring China to the bargaining table by immediately declaring it a
currency manipulator.
Protect American ingenuity and investment by forcing China to uphold
intellectual property laws and stop their unfair and unlawful practice
of forcing U.S. companies to share proprietary technology with Chinese
competitors as a condition of entry to Chinas market.
Reclaim millions of American jobs and reviving American manufacturing by
putting an end to Chinas illegal export subsidies and lax labor and
environmental standards. No more sweatshops or pollution havens stealing
jobs from American workers.
Strengthen our negotiating position by lowering our corporate tax rate
to keep American companies and jobs here at home, attacking our debt and
deficit so China cannot use financial blackmail against us, and
bolstering the U.S. military presence in the East and South China Seas
to discourage Chinese adventurism.

Of course he didn't.

His landlord bought him and his roommates a lawnmower and he's bitching
about where it was made?! Good lord, neither of the landlords in the
two houses I rented supplied the tools for lawn care. I had to buy that
stuff myself.

My pleasure, hopefully it will be useful for some others.

I am not a big air popper fan as the stray kernels always scatter over
the kitchen floor and become annoyances.

But they're a kick to watch at least, almost as much fun as being around
when your wife fires up the blow dryer!

Yes. Thank you.

Having used Poppery's in the past to roast coffee, I wasn't sure about
the amt of un-popped kernels to add. According to the video, one
quarter cup is the recommended amt, same as fer coffee.

I usta have 3 original WB Poppery's, one "new in box" (NIB). I
roasted my own coffee in 'em fer years. Finally sold 'em on ebay when
I moved to CO. Got almost $70 fer the NIB Poppery. Those original
Poppery's were 1500W. This Poppery 2 is all black and only 1200W.

I've discovered popcorn to be my most effective fiber, but too much of
it is GMO popcorn. So, I buy organic popcorn and needed a way to pop
it. I tried Alton Brown's method of popping corn ina SS mixing bowl,
with oil, but it didn't work so good. Now I got the real deal, an
"air bed" popper requiring zero fats/oils. Makes fer flavorless
popcorn, but at least there is no chemical crude in it.

Again, thank you,
nb

You are welcome, now as to the "flavorless" part - yes, but that can be
fixed with:

http://www.kernelseasons.com/

Highly recommended and less sat. fat than pure butter:

http://www.target.com/p/kernel-seaso...z/-/A-15073543

Ingredients:
Soybean Oil, Sunflower Oil, Canola Oil, Natural Butter Flavor, Annatto
(for Color).

Just drip it over the popped corn, never into the working air popper!

I bought a 12-pak of white washclothes a couple of weeks ago from
Target. 100% cotton and very nicely thick for only $3.99. Not made in
USA. These were made in Pakistan. Do you have a problem with that
country too?

Most all I've seen is! Cheap plastic disposable stuff. Not meant to last at all! Just meant to generate more revenue for the cheap Chinese JUNK factories!!

IIRC he's living in a house with a bunch of Chinese students. I wonder
if he rants at them about Chinese products. I wonder if he ranted at
the landlord when he/she gave them the FREE lawnmower. LOL I'm betting not.

Aw, hell, John. Half my John Deere is plastic. I like the plastic
fenders, hood, and seat: rustproof. Of course, all of the structural
elements are metal.

I use an air popper. It's not bland or boring once I add the
butter, salt, and sometimes cayenne.

Sometimes I put garlic salt on popcorn.

Of course he has a problem with that too, because it's NOT MADE IN THE
US!!! It's PAKI JUNK!!!OMG!!!

John. You might be a little too young to remember the mid-60's. Back
then everything that was made in Japan was considered as cheap
Japanese junk. And many of their products *were* cheap and junk too.

Well...while we were laughing at them, they persevered and slowly
improved all their products. Eventually they took over the world
economy with electronics and cars. They got the last laugh. They put
the USAians out of business in several markets.

If you want to buy a made in USA washcloth for $4.00 each, knock
yourself out. I plan to run to Target this weekend and buy a couple
more packs of those washcloths for dirt cheap. And they are good
quality thick ones.

Anyway, my price quote was a bit off. Since I wrote about it I found
my receipt from May 1. It's a 8-pack of washcloths for $3.49.

You willingly pay $4.00 for one USA washcloth. I paid 44 cents for a
great quality one (in a pack of 8).
Not Chinese though...this is from Pakistan.

It's a world economy these days. USAins can't compete in certain
manufacturing fields any more. USAins need to get over themselves and
train to do something else. Unions were good back in the day but they
are not so good anymore, imo.

Not anymore!! No more Chinese living here right now.

And that's fine that my landlord spends his money on cheap Chinese JUNK!! He IS Chinese!! So he's just sending his U.S. money back to his home nation China! And so far with my modifications to keep this cheap Chinese JUNK electric lawn mower working, it's still working after about a year of use. First thing that failed was what I pegged immediately, the cheap plastic "dead man's" on-off switch in the handle!! I fixed it by eliminating the switch entirely, and wired the mower's AC plug directly to it's electric motor so now I turn it on my plugging it in! OHHA would have a cow, but hey it's works!!

Hehe you load in the dry popcorn and turn it on. Put a bowl under the
hopper and then you add butter/oil after it pops.
