Anybody remember those Jiffy Pop pie tins with the expanding foil top and wire handle? Do they still make'em? That's how we usually made popcorn when I was a kid. Dear ol' Mum usually burnt a good deal of it. :D

I got my sister a popcorn assortment with flavor toppings and salts - tossed one of those Jiffy Popcorn tins for good measure
She loved it

How do you eat it? Butter, salt or with some tinned fish?
Plain. I was so happy when she bought an air popper. I like strong flavors in tobacco, in food, not as much as I get older.

Now, that, I would eat. Do they still make it?

@Mr Beardsley says the Jiffy Pop is still made, but my Old Folks switched to microwave popcorn years ago. Mum still burns it.

Burnt and half popped kernels are amazing

Popped in a pot on the stove top in olive oil and just seasoned with salt. Favorite snack while watching indy car replays
