New product: microwave popcorn that's safe to eat

But it will cost you. From today's New York Times:

Kristy and Coulter Lewis were dissatisfied with the ingredients and additives in microwave popcorn. Quinn Popcorn, named for their baby son, uses organic ingredients and a simple food-grade parchment paper bag instead of a pouch treated with compounds like perfluoro-octanoic and metals to keep the bag from absorbing grease and increase the amount of corn that pops. You add Quinn Popcorn’s oil and seasoning mixture after the corn is popped, so grease-proofing the bag is not an issue. And if a few kernels may be duds, what pops is delicious.

Quinn Popcorn, quinnpopcorn.com, comes in lemon and sea salt, Parmesan and rosemary, and Vermont maple and sea salt, with two batches in each box. It is sold on amazon.com, three boxes, mixed or all of one flavor, $14.79. Hickorees Hard Goods, 109 South Sixth Street (Bedford Avenue), Williamsburg, Brooklyn, (347) 294-0005, hickorees.com, has it for $4.99 a box. Abe’s Market, abesmarket.com, three boxes for $14.79. It is also available at Whole Foods in the Boston area.

We skip lunch on Sundays, and have a date to watch a movie in the afternoon with popcorn. At that price, we could not afford to go to the movies in our own home. Crazy....will be watching if it comes down any time soon. :(
