I have been seeing the dumb commercials for this, it looked like a good idea. However I did not mean to buy it, I just happened to grab the it without noticing.
For some time now I have only eaten air popped popcorn but laziness won that day. We popped a bag the same day we bought it. Right away you notice that it takes about a minute less then other microwave popcorn to pop. This is because there is less popcorn then regular bags.
My husband pulled off the side to make it a bowl the first few times we made it. I finally did it the other day and it wasn't as easy as he made it look. I ended up cutting the sucker off. The side seams split to much when you pull the thing off. they shouldn't have that red plastic stuff on both sides. I can see for the side that is torn off but it does not make a good bottom. You would think it would keep the grease from getting on you and where you set the bowl but it doesn't. If they could make it so your hand don't get greasy that would be nice. Until then I will continue to put it in a regular bowl.
I don't think I will buy this again, my main problem with it is the amount you get. We have to pop one bag per person, normally one bag will satisfy both of us but these are just to small. The brand is good just not the Pop Up Bowl bags.
P.S. The dogs will eat the popcorn. I switched to air popped popcorn when I gave my dog a piece and she would not eat it. That made me think "should I be eating it if the dog won't?"
