AMC Theatres Ready to Eat Popcorn, Classic Butter

If this is what movie theater popcorn tastes like (and as far as I remember it basically is, it's just been 20 years or so since I've had it), I'm not really missing out! This is just, like, regular popcorn with a lot of salt and butter flavor. It's also bright yellow from riboflavin added for color, which makes me lol as a riboflavin-taker since I say "wow, this is so yellow!" pretty much every morning when I add riboflavin to whatever I'm drinking. Weird also that the front of the bag says "artificially flavored" but there aren't artificial flavors in the ingredos, just coconut oil, which I guess is the artificial butter flavor (but it's not artificial, it's just not butter -- wait, what does artificial even mean?? new semantics squib unlocked). Anyway, the texture is pretty stale/chewy, even though it's nowhere near expiry, and the taste is like burnt oily paper. It's a little denser than your microwave popcorns, so it fulfills some sort of popcorn box, but it's not particularly good, and I think the skinnypop/angie's/etc are tastier. Don't sleep on that tagline ("perfectly popcorn"), either; talk about an all-timer. Perfectly tagline.

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

amc Theatres Lightly Salted Microwave Popcorn

A hot new popcorn maker is on the scene! Man, I haven't been to the movies in ages. Maybe I should go! Anyhow, this was tasty! It was basically like a lite butter type of microwave popcorn, but with the benefit of not tasting too airy or burnt or fake or anything like you can sometimes get in a microwave popcorn. The texture is good too. I bet the butter flavors are like, really tasty!
