Thanks to all for the suggestions and way's to make hotpopcorn, I'll will try some this weekend. Popcorn never has been very popular in Holland, but lately we seen more and more microwave popcorn bags. As it is fun to make popcorn, and without the mess you have if you do it for the first time and make all the beginners mistakes, microwave bags can have a tremendous influence on the popularity here. But until now we only see three different kinds, salted, sweet and paprika flavor. Some spice as mentioned in the suggestions could even turn me around to enjoy popcorn! (I don't like the regular things, absolute no taste) Regards Rob Holland (NL), Katwijk Z-H
