I work at a little store at school where we sell popcorn. I can confirm this is true because the one we make tastes just like theater popcorn. Flavacol is the popcorn salt that we use and do use butter-flavord oil. We use a big bag of kernels, I forgot where we got the bag though.

What an excellent short. From an interesting question at the beginning, to the process, to the production of it, to a sensible conclusion, which leaves you with actual info you could use instead of random facts. Incredible job on this one.
I feel the same but discovered this method of popcorn making maybe a year ago or so? And yeah it's essentially the same thing. Got a popcorn popper similar to the one shown in this video from walmart for $30 and the flavacol and coconut oil from amazon for not exactly cheap but they're huge quantities. The flavacol in particular will last for years because so little goes a long way. Now I've got the core supplies and tools for years worth of at home movie theater popcorn for the cost of like 5 large orders worth from the theater
I used to manage a movie theater and those were the only 3 ingredients we used. Orville Rickenbacker “seed,” yellow coconut oil, and flavacol. You may think movie theater popcorn may be good, but fresh, straight out of the kettle popcorn is one of the best things I’ve ever ate, and I some times miss it to this day. Another fun fact is that the “butter” that you can get on popcorn is just flavored oil (we used soy) and is perfectly safe for people with lactose intolerance to eat.
@ツツÆif it’s in large amounts it can effect people with lactose intolerance a bit. It’s just not as bad because it’s not like eating straight cheese or milk.
@ツツÆ that may be true, I just know I had a few customers who claimed that they couldn’t eat dairy, but when I showed them that our “butter” was just oil and a few other ingredients they were estatic. I once had a kid who was super excited to get popcorn and asked his mom if he could get butter, but the mom said he couldn’t because he can’t eat dairy, so I pulled the jug out from under the counter and showed the mom the ingredients list and she let him get butter on his popcorn and he was super excited, after the movie the mom came up and thanked me because I had apparently made the kids day.
Plus another two ingredients. The movie and the cinema. The atmosphere and context surprisingly influences our perception of taste more than we expect it to.
I want to get a projector and blackout curtains so I can watch movies on the ceiling. I have a popcorn machine my old Spanish teacher sold to me when I left high school so it would be perfect.
The gentleman at the end who whispers the final ingredient is the type of guy who doesn't smoke, but he'll happily join you on your lunch break if it smells good
My grandmother found a recipe she clipped out of a newspaper for homemade “movie theatre style” popcorn, and I’ve been making it ever since. It uses coconut oil, clarified butter (or ghee), and finely ground Himalayan salt. It honestly tastes pretty close. Slap a little MSG in there, and probably that would have me never missing movie theatre popcorn again. Lol Your short made me just think of that. It’s nice to have that trick validated like this. Thanks for the video.😁
The little pinch of msg is genius! I came up with my own version through trial and error. And I pop the kernels in ghee and tumeric/safron(for color and light flavor) then I season it with salt that I've ground dissolved in ghee and a bit of truffle oil. Tastes better than movie popcorn.
@@izzyNFT69 That sounds amazing… can I come over? Lol I’m gonna try something like this. I don’t have any saffron at the moment, but I do have some turmeric and annatto. I think I’m gonna try using the ground up pink Himalayan salt at the start, and colouring my coconut oil before I pop. Doesn’t need to be on super high heat to make popcorn properly, so it shouldn’t burn. Then I’ll season with ghee at the end, and maybe a little extra salt ground up with some msg, and see how that goes. I want to find something that will taste almost EXACTLY like movie theatre while still being healthy. But I totally believe you about yours being better. Haha! The other day I added a bit of sugar to the oil before popping. Of course it turned into a slight bit of a candy at the bottom of the pot at the end, but because I kept it at a gentler heat than maximum, nothing burned or turned into caramel. It had exactly the effect I wanted. I was looking for something similar to that sweet and salty popcorn flavour you can get; but with that, there’s no sugar granules on the popcorn with the salt granules, so I tried an Alton Brown trick he uses with the salt, and added the sugar with the unpopped kernels, like this video said to do with the flavonol (or whatever the Dickens it’s called). It was great!
@@LePetitNuageGris sweet salty popcorn sounds heavenly! I'm also looking for healthier alternatives but sometimes when you want caramel corn, you just gotta have those calories 🤷🏾♀️! I'm going to try the ground Himalayan salt. I normally just ground table salt.
@@izzyNFT69 I agree! Restriction usually leads to more indulgence than just having some occasionally. Haha My personal favourite is sea salt. Different kinds of salts have different minerals and characteristics that table salt doesn’t, but they all also vary in salinity, so keep that in mind. They say table salt is saltier tasting on the tongue, but I think it will also depend on brand, size of the grains, etc. Maybe test a little on your tongue before you use it to compare. I really hope it goes great! I love cooking.😄
It's so fascinating how different countries prefer different types of popcorn. Where I live (Germany), most people eat sweetened popcorn, not salted. We have it at the cinema, but if you don't specifically say you want salted popcorn, you'll always get sweetened popcorn by default.
We have some sweetened varieties, but rarely at the cinemas. Though I'm wondering if they're the same. Ours are Kettle Corn, which is predominantly popped in a cast iron kettle with oil, salt, and sugar, and mainly found at fairs. Or caramel corn, which is popped corn with a hard caramel coating. What is yours?
@@beebuzz959 So, it's basically just corn, oil and sugar. The sugar crystalizes a bit which makes the popcorn a bit more crunchy, but it's just a sugary coating, it has not turned into caramel yet!
Pretty much almost the exact reverse in the States--at least at my local CineMark, except we can actually pour in the *liquid sugar* ourselves at a self-serve near the counters, we can't ask we just do it ourselves if we want.
@@myrillya so basically like our kettle corn but without the salt. Try mixing your sweet popcorn with your salty popcorn and eat both together next time and see if you like it.
Omg bro thank you for making this video im a popcorn addict so people find it crazy when i say that home popcorn is different from movie theater popcorn and they say it tasts the same now i can prove them wrong. Thx
You did it. You forced me to subscribe and I’m not even mad. I loved the chalk apocalypse video, but now this one? I’m a popcorn lover, and your information is literally too valuable because you’re concise and insightful. Literally THE shopping expert!
@@Blackveiled But it's the breadth of the random tidbits (tidbits about so many different things) that really makes it valuable! And the specificity!: I knew popcorn was made with orange powder because I asked when I was younger, but I never had a specific name, I just knew it was an orange powder.
Man that actually means so much to hear especially because I also cared a TON about that chalk video haha. The first time I posted it was in 2021, but the pacing, music, sound, scripting, everything was just a little too off. I was still new to making videos though so i couldn’t tell exactly how or why. Then late 2023 I revisited it and spent the next 3 days tweaking it with what I’d learned since. I have no idea why the algo is blowing up that chalk video rn, but that one and this popcorn vid are some of the ones I wish I could always be making if I had infinite time, $, and resources. They’re also a more accurate representation of my fascination & admiration of the things people make and the ways others use them. So I’m genuinely thankful to hear that you liked those 2 specifically. Also funny story about my account name: the middle word used to be something much more humble & less broad than “shopping”, except i had to change it really quickly after a few videos went viral or else i was about to become The GettingSuedIntoOblivion Expert 😭
Worked at a popcorn shop for a while. That flavocol stuff is strong so if you buy it, use less than you think, definitely less than the normal salt. Also, there’s 2 types of popcorn: Mushroom and butterfly Butterfly is what most movie theaters and microwave popcorn is, but mushroom is what most flavored and candied kinds are. The first holds salt better, the second is thicker so can handle being tumbled for coating in caramels and chocolates
Thank you for the explanation. I'm always trying to improve my at-home popcorn. I definitely won't be using any of the substances mentioned in the short, however. I'm allergic to movie theater popcorn, but I don't know why. It's obviously one of those substances.
He is right. Flavorco is what makes that iconic movie theater smell/taste. Just use coconut oil and flavorcol while popping and then just melt salted or unsalted butter with salt and drizzle. I just happened to find flavorcol at a bulk restaurant supplier in my area called cash and carry.
It has the be clarified butter, regular melted butter will make your popcorn wilt lol I know that’s weird, but I’ve tried many times. It just becomes a soggy mess. But clarified butter or even melted ghee will coat your popcorn in that buttery goodness and won’t wilt down and get soggy.
@@erintucker12 because regular butter has water in it, Clarified butter has the water boiled out, leaving you with what is basically pure fat goodness.
Eating it right now, my brother got me flavacol as a birthday gift and it's been used dozens of times over the past year or so for my popcorn which I make in a large wok. Simply amazing.
texture is very important yes. Stove top and air pop will tend to have more moisture and have not nearly as good texture. But if you microwave sufficiently the popcorn should be very fluffy and crispy; even more-so than at a theater unless it was freshly popped.
I used to work at my local theater and I can confirm all of this. My specific theater used LouAna topping oil to butter the popcorn and it was a certified hit 🍿🍿
Here too, we use LouAna topping for ours too. We used to set out the flavorcol stuff out in salt shakers, but apparently it confused enough people that thought it was cheese flavored that we had to switch back.
In HS i worked at kmart front snack stand for a few months. I wish i could remember how i made thier popcorn after seeing this video. I t was a huge thick glass rounded popcorn machine. I was always careful taking the glass off to clean in the back of the store.
Personally, my 2nd grandparents own a movie theater, every time I go camping, they bring me the biggest bucket of it for free and smile on my face is always priceless.
i worked at a movie theater for 7-8 years and i never thought theater popcorn tasted better. i always felt like people deluded themselves to think that to help justify how much they were spending. it also took me years after the job to eat popcorn again since we got it free and got burnt out on it.
I worked at a movie theater in the very early 70's and the popcorn we sold came prepopped in huge 4-5' tall, 3' diameter bags. All we did was dump it in the popcorn warmer to sell at huge inflated prices. Of course, to be fair, that's where the money is actually made; in the concession stand, and not on the movie itself.
yeah like the guy above me said, that $10 carton could genuinely last anyone years bc it's so potent, so you only need to use a 1/2 tablespoon or teaspoon at a time!

Thank you for the explanation. I'm always trying to improve my at-home popcorn. I definitely won't be using any of the substances mentioned in the short, however. I'm allergic to movie theater popcorn, but I don't know why. It's obviously one of those substances.
using the OG halo inviz sound gave me some fantastic flash backs, thank you
Was looking for this comment lol
Same
I thought I recognised it too
Master chief, you mind telling me what you're doing at that theatre?
Gotta pay homage to the classics 🫡 I’d do anything to go back to the days of prime Halo
That last ingredient in the end is the secret to so many skills.
This is top tier RUclips short content. Educational, humorous, well paced. You earned a sub.
Hey, I know you!
@@Austow8 Really? How so?
@@WolfGodwin I've seen your NITW stuff

Thx 🙏
"You can't be the Hulk"
it reminds me of the Nike ad with CR7, Neymar and more.
Man I love you
such a banger
Why is ur voice so satisfying😭
aha so what are we lol
This is the only short I think I’ve ever liked
The Melee blip noises kept throwing me for a loop lmao
I knew it was familiar I thought it was a Halo sound effect.
Holy shit i did not notice them until i saw this comment
@@worfsonofmogh323 It's the camo pickup sound effect.
Sounds like the Smash Melee Fox/Falco shine
It distracted me so much that between that and what’s happening on the screen, I couldn’t focus on what he was saying, even after replaying it XD
wasn't anything I didn't know but I love the style and presentation of this video, keep it up!
He is right. Flavorco is what makes that iconic movie theater smell/taste. Just use coconut oil and flavorcol while popping and then just melt salted or unsalted butter with salt and drizzle. I just happened to find flavorcol at a bulk restaurant supplier in my area called cash and carry.
I've heard you can get pretty much a lifetime supply for very cheap.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 yeah I have so much of it I am going to be buried with it. Shit lasts forever
Oh we have one of those in Niagara Falls, Canada. I think it's called "NG Cash and Carry" here.
It has the be clarified butter, regular melted butter will make your popcorn wilt lol I know that’s weird, but I’ve tried many times. It just becomes a soggy mess. But clarified butter or even melted ghee will coat your popcorn in that buttery goodness and won’t wilt down and get soggy.
@@erintucker12 because regular butter has water in it, Clarified butter has the water boiled out, leaving you with what is basically pure fat goodness.
Eating it right now, my brother got me flavacol as a birthday gift and it's been used dozens of times over the past year or so for my popcorn which I make in a large wok. Simply amazing.
This song brings back so many memories
Miss Alissa is such a great song, brings me back to the og Nike soccer commercials 💯
it’s always nice to see Eagles of Death Metal get modern recognition
I was watching the video and I instant recognized the song.
I instantly recognised the drums
It's such an amazing song, this, Miss Alissa, wanna be in L.A and I only want you are on constant repeat in my head.
Last guy is the icing on the cake 😂✨
Literally saving this so I can make movie theater popcorn at home
Bro actually put the GoPro in his mouth to get that "biting" shot 👄😂👌🏼
That’s a pretty common way to get FOV shots aside from head straps.
@@mxdanger Never seen it being used even in adult films 😂
@@YaNeK92fuck no
For me it’s not just taste, it’s the texture, that good ole crunch you get at the theatre.
What theaters are yall going to movie theater popcorn is the mushiest softest most Styrofoam tasting thing on the planrt
@@Spiderdoom-hg3iy What?
texture is very important yes. Stove top and air pop will tend to have more moisture and have not nearly as good texture.
But if you microwave sufficiently the popcorn should be very fluffy and crispy; even more-so than at a theater unless it was freshly popped.
Last guy has the best t-shirt
Saving that to the food playlist 🍿
I used to work at my local theater and I can confirm all of this. My specific theater used LouAna topping oil to butter the popcorn and it was a certified hit 🍿🍿
yesss omg,,, where i worked we had the flavacol in a salt shaker and its the only way i have popcorn still lol
@@lemonlite_ we poured the carton into a metal container that said "salt" on it and we had a lil plastic scoop
Here too, we use LouAna topping for ours too. We used to set out the flavorcol stuff out in salt shakers, but apparently it confused enough people that thought it was cheese flavored that we had to switch back.
Did anyone notice the guy at the end with the palistine bage
Yess I was looking for this comment!
"And there's one more ingredient you're forgetting"
"peanut butter"
The mouth shot was funny asf😂😂
In HS i worked at kmart front snack stand for a few months. I wish i could remember how i made thier popcorn after seeing this video. I
t was a huge thick glass rounded popcorn machine. I was always careful taking the glass off to clean in the back of the store.
Props to bro for putting a camera in his mouth💀
Personally, my 2nd grandparents own a movie theater, every time I go camping, they bring me the biggest bucket of it for free and smile on my face is always priceless.
i worked at a movie theater for 7-8 years and i never thought theater popcorn tasted better. i always felt like people deluded themselves to think that to help justify how much they were spending. it also took me years after the job to eat popcorn again since we got it free and got burnt out on it.
I worked at a movie theater in the very early 70's and the popcorn we sold came prepopped in huge 4-5' tall, 3' diameter bags. All we did was dump it in the popcorn warmer to sell at huge inflated prices. Of course, to be fair, that's where the money is actually made; in the concession stand, and not on the movie itself.
i have watched garbage movies just for the sake of eating the popcorn
I thought he just mashed the popcorn in his camera but it was actually in his mouth… I’m traumatized forever now.
That secret ingredient, damn.
we stan that last guy 🩷 what an icon
Let's just stop a moment and appreciate this guy for putting a camera in his mouth
Nobody’s gonna question how he got a camera in his mouth? LOL
I like slightly burnt (a bit brownish look to it) butter popcorn with pepper and salt on top of it. No movie theater makes popcorn like that.
Bro for a sec while eating the popcorn we got Caine POV
LMAO
MISS ALISSA AS THE BGM??? absolute banger.
Bro I Waa looking for someone to spot it
I'm so glad that we have sweet popcorn as an option and not just salty. Lightly caramelized Popcorn taste so much better.
Miss Elissa played.
I left my popcorn out for like 2 hours and it tasted just like movie theatre popcorn
Mouth cam?!?!
@@CramcrumBrewbringer hope you guys enjoyed being inside my mouth! 😎👍

bro's background song of choice is bringing back the vibes when nike made cool commercials lol 🦅🗣💆🏽♂️
What song was it?
the last guy with the palestine badge made my day !!!!!!!!!!
I was not expecting Luca Modric to spawn at the end 🤯
If I could afford all that on a regular basis this would be my favourite video ever
That flavacol stuff is very cheap like ten bucks for a lifetime
yeah like the guy above me said, that $10 carton could genuinely last anyone years bc it's so potent, so you only need to use a 1/2 tablespoon or teaspoon at a time!
The last guy had a palestine pin
W
THE LAST GUYS PALESTINE PIN AWWWW ❤
Now we have to figure out why McDonald’s chicken nuggets and ranch taste better than store bought, and we’ll be chilling
I saw the palestinian flag aura:99999999+
He already got infinite aura he MODRIC
@Horus-j3f You are not the true Horus-j3f MODRIC hater 🤡
Brainrot kid
