      Likewise! Couldn't believe it actually went to half price this time!
      Was content on paying the $4.95 that it frequently went on special for, but this times it was stock-up time.

      Do you recommend triple butter or single butter?

      • MathNerd on 02/06/2018 - 20:14

        Both have about the same taste to be honest, however I could just be getting bad batches. Get one of each and make your own judgement ;) At this price, you've got nothing to lose!

      You are right. Our doctor suggested moving to fresh popcorn instead of microwave bag popcorns.
      Still miss the convenience and taste of microwave bag popcorns. Apparently the culprit is diacetyl in artificial butter flavor and more harmful is the perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the bags.

        You have to air pop it, adding oil makes it unhealthy, also adding salt. Popping in oil triples the calories.

        I bought one, and it just isn't the same (even when trying various flavouring methods).

    • AlienC on 03/06/2018 - 01:46

      So how much am I saving?

      How many grams are in the Poppin Microwave packs?

      Won't these taste bland so I will need to buy my own butter or whatever anyways.

      Ok so 4 x 100g is $2.77 (do they add the weight of the packaging I wonder oh and butter)

      So 1 x 100g is $0.6925 or $0.69 haha lol ok so let's just make this $0.70

      So 10 x 100g or 1kg of Poppin Microwave is $6.925 or $6.93 say $7

      So going the make your own way is 7/3 = 2 1/3 times cheaper or for $7 you can make 2.333kgs of microsafe popcorn maker pop corn

      The maker is coming up as $24.30 AUD delivered for me

      Items: $18.31
      Delivery: $5.99

      So it will take roughly 6kg or 60 x 100g or 15 boxes of 4 packs of the Poppin Microwave Butter to make it worth while for me to to the make it yourself route aka after 15 boxes or 60 individual packs I lose money not going the Décor 4L Microsafe Popcorn Maker way.. hmm interesting

      This all assumes the 100g is all kernels and not including packaging or salt or corn plus no washing or soap used so you don't incur those expenses but the landfill does when you throw your disposable popcorn landfilling bag away.

      This all also only calculated with half price.. full price would make the recuperation time even less as then the Poppin Microwave will cost double at full normal price.

      So going with the Décor 4L Microsafe Popcorn Maker I'll be spending about 1 - 3/7 = 0.571428571 = 57.1428571% less than going with the 4 x 100g Poppin Microwave packs.

      Is that right or did stuff up some maths or wordings somewhere it's getting late and I have to go sleep haha lol :'( :)

        Fat is a carcinogen, causes the majority of bowel and prostate cancers, the bag microwave popcorn had a lot of fat in it.

        https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2003nl/030200pusavingyourse…

        "Prostate cancer is the leading kind of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death for men (after lung cancer). The typical American man has a one in ten chance of being diagnosed with this disease, and a 3% chance of dying from it. As many as 30% of men in their 30s and 40s have prostate cancer"

        "A study of men with prostate cancer found that after an average duration of 34 days on a low-fat diet (20% fat), supplemented with an ounce of flaxseeds daily, there was a decrease in total serum cholesterol, total testosterone, and free androgen index (a measurement of male hormone activity).36 PSA levels decreased slightly, and most importantly, the actual activity of cancer cell growth, as seen under the microscope, decreased in those on the diet."

        Yes you read that 30% of men in their 30's-40's have prostate cancer, it is because of garbage like microwave popcorn and other rubbish, I have said many times here, buying a unhealthy food 1/2 price is not a bargain, even if it was free I wouldn't accept it.
