You know you’ve reached peak adulthood when you find yourself getting excited about the most mundane kitchen products. And we’re not talking about feeling amped that your new air fryer has arrived or that you got a nice new set of knives for your birthday. Rather, we mean feeling unnecessarily giddy to learn that Ziploc created plastic bags that stand on their own (so you no longer need to grow a third arm when you’re packing up leftovers). Or, feeling like a genius when you pull out the Dawn dish soap to clean something other than dishes.

Popcorn is an important staple in my house. It’s one of the few snacks that everyone likes, which is why I always have some stocked in my kitchen. The only trouble is that there are so many types and brands of popcorn that we often get into (good-natured) arguments about which is the best.
