I use olive oil exclusively to cook popcorn. No margerine or butter needed. I sprinkle on a little salt toss it in the bowl, then have fun eating a very good snack which has far fewer calories than any other snack food save for carrots. I hav't eaten microwave popcorn in years. I can't stand the smell of the chemicals as they cook. Besides it tastes artificial and greasy. The Splenda with cinnamon sounds good. I will try that soon.

I use a "Whirley-Pop" and pop my popcorn in coconut oil...1/3 C. unpopped organic yellow kernels to 1 T. coconut oil...then mist the popped corn with olive oil I keep in a spray bottle and toss it with garlic salt and nutritional yeast...sometimes I use real butter, but only occasionally....I make my "standard" popcorn at least 3 times/week...sometimes a big batch (1/2 C. unpopped) is dinner.... — Anonymous	05/25/2010 - 9:27pm
I actually pop my popcorn in a paper bag in the microwave! I add a little bit of oil but it's so easy and simple. I like to sprinkle some chili powder and Knorr seasoning on it. yummy!! — Anonymous	05/25/2010 - 9:23pm

Hands down, fresh squeezed lemon juice! Plain old lemon juice and bare naked popcorn really does it for me. :) — Anonymous	05/25/2010 - 7:40pm

I toast sesame seads dry in a small saute pan until they are dark brown and then grind them in an electric spice mill (or coffee bean grinder). I sprinke these on freshly popped corn with just a small amount of toasted sesame seed oil or EVOO. Yummy! — Anonymous	05/25/2010 - 7:11pm
