What did they used to pop corn in back in the fifties?
The butter wasn’t poured over the popcorn because it was popped in butter. It was flavored as it popped. We popped ours in butter at home too in a big pan on top of the stove. Had to shake the dickens out of the pan and swirl it over the burner real fast until you didn’t hear much popping & then get it into a bowl fast to keep it from scorching on the bottom. We also did Jiffy Pop sometimes too, but you couldn’t put it directly on the fire or it would scorch. I was usually the popcorn popper in our family of 8.
