Something interesting I found about an air popper is that the product has
very little flavor. We used one for years and the house would fill with
popcorn smell when we used it but the popped corn had very little taste. Our
air popper died and I was going to buy a new one and spotted the microwave
popper and bought that. The first thing we noticed is that there is a lot
more flavor in the popped corn. I guess the stream of hot air in a hot air
popper removes a lot of the aromatics or whatever the popcorn smell is.

Our campaign just ended. Our group (33 Beavers/Cubs/Scouts/Leaders) sold
$18,100 of the stuff.

Don't think I could have convinced my husband to go out and sell $2000 worth
of cookbooks. ;o)

I, personally, don't go out to sell Trail's End popcorn. I just answer all
the phone calls from people looking to buy what has become the hottest
seller in our town. With this single campaign our Scouting group manages to
make all the camps free to all families and each Scout who wants to go to
Jamboree next summer will end up having to spend very little, if anything,
depending on how high his/her sales were.

Try some of the discount stores. I think here it is called Movie Time and
comes in plan, unsalted. I've never tried it so I can't vouch for the
flavor. You could always stock up when you go to a movie also.
