My father would get gifted with tv time popcorn packages by friends or customers, and none of those gifts were ever not eaten! Many other packages of tv time were purchased at local stores. I have spent decade after decade hoping to find a popcorn as GOOD as TV Time without success. Than soil in IN grows the best, and I know TV Time was the very best! I miss it!

I use Orvile Redenbockr that I keep frozen until I pop it in corn oil (do not burn). I sprinkle to taste accent seasoning and salt with real butter. After the popcorn is in the bowl I melt the butter in the pot swirling the butter until it becomes foamy but not burnt. I then pour the butter evenly over the popcorn then enjoy my creation.Floyd W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305571058310227787.post-42035196265549614022023-09-05T21:14:58.458-04:002023-09-05T21:14:58.458-04:00My father was Odd, the Pres.My father was Odd, the Pres.KCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305571058310227787.post-2490458065864709812023-09-05T21:12:08.311-04:002023-09-05T21:12:08.311-04:00Lived next door to the plant in Bremen in Bremen! ...Lived next door to the plant in Bremen in Bremen!

(A search conducted at the time of this posting was successful.) One would have to order a large quantity (e.g., 48-count case), but it can be attained.<br /><br />Not having sampled the Great Western popcorn, I cannot attest to its flavor.<br /><br />A recently passed uncle of mine worked as a food scientist at TV Time in Bremen, Indiana for years. He would often present my immediate family with free samples at family reunions. The idea of ordering some in his honor, as well as to (hopefully) enjoy, is tempting.
