I'm with you about the microwave stuff, but I happen to love the air-popped stuff. You and Patrick can keep scoffing at me.

I didn't realize that was the definition of kettle corn.

I've only heard "kettle corn" in reference to the above sweet type, not generic stove-top. I'm not sure which you're referring to by "that".

The West Bend looks pretty neat, but honestly, I really do love air-popped (mmm... evoo and seasoning...), and my air popper takes up way less space.
