Exploring Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn Seasonings

If you’re anything like me, popcorn is a must-have snack. There’s always a bag of kernels waiting for me in my pantry after a long week when I’m ready for a cozy movie night. But with homemade popcorn can often come lackluster flavor. So when I discovered Orville Redenbacher’s, the beloved microwave popcorn brand, had a line of seasonings, I had to give them a try. I grabbed five for a gourmet popcorn taste test, from classic butter to indulgently sweet. Here’s my honest review of the Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn seasonings.

History of Orville Redenbacher

If you’ve ever made microwave popcorn before, chances are you’ve enjoyed the brilliant creation of Orville Redenbacher. I mean, the smiling man on the red box is pretty much synonymous with the buttery snack. Dubbed the Popcorn King, Redenbacher was an American agriculturist who dedicated his career to creating larger, fluffier popcorn. By the 1970s, Orville Redenbacher’s became a household name in America. Redenbacher, the face of the brand, even starred in his own commercials well into his 80s, with his signature bow tie and glasses. The brand offers a range of products including classic butter, low-fat and whole grain varieties and plain kernels.
