    Fun fact from a theater employee: The reason the popcorn at the theater is that orange-yellow is because of a dye added to the salt NOT because it’s butter or cheddar flavored.

    I actually put butter flavor popcorn oil and real butter and I put regular salt into the oil and stir it around. This way it cooks into the popcorn. My popcorn, I think, tastes better than movie theater popcorn.

    Most movie theatres include a seasoning called "flavacol" in their popcorn recipe. It's like buttery msg powder. You'll never get closer to movie theatre popcorn than with that stuff!

    I toss my homemade popcorn in some salt, sugar, a tiny bit of red chilli powder and melted clarified butter (ghee) – I think homemade popcorn is better than movie theatre popcorn as it stays crispy and fluffy for a longer time.

    for any of the specific few people this applies to, you dont need a blender just to get the popcorn salt that fine. if you happen to have a mortar and pestle youll be able to grind it down to super fine granularity pretty fast

    I work at a movie theatre and we make the popcorn with this weird bright orange oil and what’s basically yellow edible road salt. The free topping isn’t butter, it’s canola oil, and the real butter we offer gets sold until it is completely used up. We have this disgusting container of who knows how old butter that we constantly refrigerate and microwave over and over again. When the theatre closes we just dump the leftover melted butter back in the fridge and use it the next day.
