I bought this as a birthday gift for my brother in law. He just finished is home theater and I wanted to come up with a clever gift because my sister couldnt think of anything. So.. I bought them this! They love it. My brother in law in his words said its sick bro! thank you! My sister told me the popcorn tastes kinda similar to any other popcorn. Idk she might be doing something wrong. but my nephews love it and it certainly adds a nice feel to being in an actual cinema . I think its a great item. Thank you wayfair!
