    $20 at Victoria's basement so this seems like a good price.

    problem with these healthy alternative poppers is without the oil, the seasoning does not stick

    • elcheapoinoz on 18/08/2015 - 13:58

      I found the solution for that.
      I bought an oil atomizer, so I fill it up with olive oil, then spray the popcorn and put whatever topping I want on it.. pretty handy those atomizers for a lot of other stuff too.

        then you get olive flavoured popcorn…

      • nerd1 on 18/08/2015 - 14:32

        that is a good idea… but I think I will stick with the pan, table spoon of oil and a teaspoon of buttersalt. this combo makes the perfect cinema popcorns at home.

      • jazoom on 18/08/2015 - 16:02

        Does the atomiser work well? Where do I find such a thing? I've seen oil misters but they never have great reviews.

        • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2015 - 22:10

          Prepara (from Victorias BM) works fine. Decor (from WW) is ok but made of plastic.

    • scupper on 18/08/2015 - 14:14

      can't I just pour oil/butter along with the kernels?

    Made in Australia?

      Its designed in Australia….that means its design PDF was once sent through our copper lines and now manufactured in China.

      Yeouch…..$14 delivery to WA.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2015 - 21:50

        Thanks. I don't quite understand why they incl 'DESIGNED IN' the product description instead of 'MADE IN xxx'.
        I'd think consumers would like to know where the product come from i.e. Made in Australia, China etc vs DESIGNED IN Italy, designed in the UK,…

        When you see "DESIGNED IN", does it make anyone think that the product which is designed here is of better quality than designed in China?
        Or if it's designed in Germany/Switzerland, do you think it will be of better quality than designed in Bangladesh/Tai-land/Vietnam/Cambodia? …just curious.

          .

          when comparing a sale price to the RRP of goods and services may convey to potential customers that they are getting a good deal because the sale price is less than the RRP. If the product has never been previously sold at the RRP, or the RRP does not reflect a current market price, then this type of comparison may, depending on the circumstances, misrepresent the savings that may be achieved.

          LOL…I'm afraid that every single item PoK sells is "misleading" and "illegal" cause all the stickers have the RRP and sale price every day of the year :) (same applies to many other businesses like Chemist Warehouse)

          P.S. PoK is my favorite brick and mortar store cause their prices "illegal or not" are just unbeatable!

          Hi JV,
          This product is currently being sold in Australia for $50 ($49.95). Peter's of Kensington having not sold it previously at the RRP does not make it an illegal practice. Maybe best if you call the ACCC or Fair Trading if you need more clarification on this.

          @petersofkensington:

          Peter's of Kensington having not sold it previously at the RRP does not make it an illegal practice.

          Yes it does…

          This product is currently being sold in Australia for $50

          And a 1 minute search will show you other stores in Australia sell it for $19.95

          Companies have successfully being prosecuted by the ACCC for doing exactly this…

          Claiming a $34 saving as you are doing in the title is misleading.
          At best, the saving is $4 from other stores… Could even be less…

          @jv:

          Agreed. As per JV's ACCC link https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/prices-receipts/price-disp…

          "What are misleading prices?
          Misleading prices may include:
          …
          ‘savings’ or ‘discount’ statements when compared to the recommended retail price (RRP), but the goods have never been sold at the RRP or the RRP does not reflect a current market price."

          The RRP definitely does not reflect a current market price when it's $19.95 at other stores

          Also,

          "Businesses may also mislead consumers about prices if they: promote a ‘sale’ or ‘special’ price which is not in fact a temporary sale price, thus creating an unwarranted sense of urgency to make an immediate purchase"

          Might be best to say what the price will be after this sale?

        • PVA on 18/08/2015 - 15:31

          @petersofkensington:
          From ACCC

          Price displays.
          There are laws about the way prices are displayed. Prices should be genuine and you should be able to easily see the total price of anything advertised.

          What are misleading prices?
          Misleading prices may include:
          …
          ‘savings’ or ‘discount’ statements when compared to the recommended retail price (RRP), but the goods have never been sold at the RRP or the RRP does not reflect a current market price.

          Reading this post, you haven't sold at RRP before and JV says other stores are $19 so RRP is not current market price either.
          Whether its illegal or not it isn't the right thing to do to say basically was $50 when you nor others sell it for that.
          I think that's JV point as well.
          And customers are kinda tired of this style of exaggeration of savings.

          As a retailer, we always try and do the right thing for our customers. It is only misleading if this item is not or has not been sold in the market place at the RRP. Please see this website for current price http://www.weddinggiftsdirect.com.au/microwave-popcorn-maker

          Again for further clarification, please ring the ACCC or Fair Trading.

        • AsSeenOnTv on 18/08/2015 - 15:39

          @jv:
          first page of a google search shows a seller selling it for $50, so it has been/is sold at that price, therefore doesn't seem illegal to me.

          @petersofkensington:

          In the ACCC case against The Jewellery Group Pty Ltd.

          The judge looked at what the company itself sold the product for before the sale and not what the RRP states.

          The previous criminal prosecution of the former operator of the Zamel’s business concerned circumstances where there had been no sales of items at the higher price in the period before the catalogue sale.

          "The court’s decision today has extended this area of the law for the benefit of consumers by making it clear that retailers must not represent savings to be made by consumers during sale periods by the use of two price advertising when they have not sold, or rarely sold, items at the higher price,” Mr Sims said.

          http://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/court-finds-zamels-misl…

          Holding on to the fact that it once sold for $50 (by a competitor) is a weak argument when the current market price is ~$20 (another competitor).

          Once again, incorrect.

          it is misleading if you have not sold it recently at the price you are comparing to…

          @asseenontv:

          that's irrelevant. other sellers are selling it for under $20 anyway…

        • McFly on 19/08/2015 - 10:24

          @petersofkensington: You should ring the ACCC - maybe they can get it through your head that you are in fact breaking the law.

    I use a regular ceramic casserole dish with glass lid in the microwave to make popcorn, works perfectly without the need to buy a gimmicky container.

  • gimme on 18/08/2015 - 16:32

    I have used oven bags and a glass bowl with good success. This would have been good if it included delivery but at this price (irrespective of the RRP BS … up there with Scanpan etc) I'm not really interested.

    Sounds like a useless product. Using any reasonable container in the microwave achieves the same thing.
