Out of 12 bags two or three will be only half full..... This is been going on for months..... Nine of the bags will fill up all the way when you pop it for two and a half minutes but two or three of the bags will only open up to half this bag only has a third of the normal amount of popcorn... This adds up over time.... So no matter how good it tastes it's not worth it if you keep skimping on 15% of the product!
The only reason I buy this is because it's the only option on the shelf for low butter. I hate dirty fingers, so I buy this, seems healthier than tons of butter. But in the past few years the shrinkflation is TERRIBLE on this product, smaller boxes, smaller bags, less kernels, HIGH price. Additionally about 1/4 of the bag never pops
Walmart has used price increases and "shrinkflation" (24 pack to 18 pack, and available 12 pack) to make this a significantly more expensive price than it used to be. The Light Butter wasn't available at the store last time I was there so I ordered through Walmart.com and got a good price. Probably the best microwave popcorn out there, although you will have to learn how to pop it in your microwave. By experimentation, my microwave (1250 watt) pops it the best at 90 percent power for two minutes.
well I have eaten a lot of them and I only have two that I really like and this is one of them other is IGA generic the Pop secret doesn't pop and half are garbage and orvinbocker half of them don't pop and half of them garbage that popcorns jiffy is terrible
I have been eating the light butter GV popcorn every day as a snack in the evening for about the last 8 years or longer. It has just enough butter to satisfies my need for a snack, without too many calories to make me feel guilty. Yes, there are usually some un popped kernels, but I don't know of a brand that doesn't have those. I hope that Walmart keeps on selling it, since I noticed they don't offer the 18 pack in the light butter, anymore.
I would buy this frequently over the years. To my recollection, the bags used to be larger and would also held more popcorn than it does now. As with most things, I think the size of bags and the quantity of the kernels have decreased. Otherwise, the taste is fine if you like the taste of light butter popcorn.
Save some cash and buy a great tasting microwave popcorn. Popped correctly, very few leftover kernels in the bag. Change up the flavor by sprinkling on the variety of bottled spices. Add a touch of your own garlic or parmesan cheese. Try out the ranch or honey butter flavors. My favorite is dill pickle!
I absolutely love this popcorn and eat a bag daily. I gave it 4 stars because of pricing and the availability of the box of 18 is now never in stock which is cheaper. This used to come in a box of 22 for $5. Over time the number in the box reduced and for awhile it still stayed at $5. Now it is much more for less product.
As good or better than thingirl. Pops at 2 minutes perfecto. Really nice taste. Was hesitant to try this brand but it worked out GREAT!!!! VERY GOOD POPCORN AND CHEAPER than the name brands. I'm glad I tried this and will buy more Great Value microwave buttery popcorn. Why spend more?
YOU NEED TO BRING IT BACK TO THE STORE please so I don't have to order on here! Love how it's not buttery and just right. A little butter on popcorn but sad how it use to be $5 for 24. You have it like $3 more and I think bigger box for other flavor has 18. Cheating us customers out of money. Pretty messed up!
