Movie Night and a Big Bowl of Popcorn and $100 Gift Card Giveaway

June 4, 2013  Uncategorized

 

I have a confession to make.

When I was newly married, I didn’t cook and my poor hubby would often come home to find me munching on a bag of microwave popcorn for dinner while he was left wondering what he would be eating.  Hey, I’m not proud – that was a long time ago!

Perfect Pop app - tells you when you popcorn is ready!

I’m still addicted to popcorn.

I’m also addicted to movie nights.  There’s nothing better than curling up under a furry blanket with my girls with a giant bowl of buttery goodness.

But there’s nothing worse than a burned bag of popcorn (yes, I’ve burned many bags and have had to live with the scorched stink during the movie).

 

So I’ve combined my love for popcorn with my love for apps and discovered this fun little app from Pop Secret that my girls love!  It’s called Perfect Pop and it listens to my microwave and lets me know when my popcorn is popped to perfection!  Download your own Perfect Pop app on the App Store here.

It’s so funny to watch the spinning popcorn kernel as he swirls faster and faster and goes from yellow to red … so you’ll know when your popcorn is ready.

Perfect Pop app - tells you when you popcorn is ready!

Voila – no burned popcorn because Perfect Pop finds the exact moment when your popcorn is ready.

It makes popping popcorn fun!

Perfect Pop app - tells you when you popcorn is ready!

With the popcorn popped, we have to pick a movie but have a bit of a problem when it comes to choosing.

You see, my hubby loves chick flicks (don’t tell anyone!), I love a good horror movie but they’re too scary for my girls and they prefer cheesy romantic comedies!

Compromise is definitely in order when it comes to movie nights nowadays …

and at least I don’t have to watch cartoons anymore!

    I have burned so many bags of popcorn at work that my friend won’t let me make anymore. She follows me to the microwave and takes the bag away from me and delivers perfectly popped corn to my desk! I need the ap for when she is not there to keep everyone else from scrunching up their noses.

    I confess. I burned the popcorn. The worst, though, is when someone burns popcorn in the office microwave — there’s no getting rid of that smell! (On the converse, when a bag of popcorn is properly popped in the office, it’s guaranteed that the vending machine will sell out of popcorn!)

    I have burned many, many bags of microwave popcorn. Many. I don’t trust the popcorn button on the microwave. I don’t trust the info on the bag of popcorn. It really takes a long time to get rid of that burned popcorn smell doesn’t it? A long time. I finally just gave up and pop my popcorn the old fashioned way – in a pan with oil on the bottom and “shake, shake, shake!”

    Well I’ve burned a bag of popcorn maybe once or twice, but my husband insists on repopping unpopped kernels after eating the whole bag. He does this every single time and about 75% of the time he burns them. Drives me crazy!

When I looked inside, all of the pieces were black and sort of stuck together. It makes me wonder how close it was to catching on fire! I now realized that my microwave was on the fritz…

    I’ve burned popcorn at work and the smell is horrible and lingers for days. I can’t try the app because I don’t have a smart phone.

    Thanks for the contest.

    We have between my kids and me burnt popcorn so many times.
    I guess we still haven’t mastered the perfect setting on the microwave not even the button marked popcorn is correct 🙂 and I would love to try the app I have recently been going app crazy on my kindle.
