My kids were only slightly more excited about this than me. Movie nights are big in our house and being able to pop our own popcorn has become a big highlight. I love that it is healthier for my kiddos even with the butter we melt into it. The butter melted cover attached to the machine was a nice detail. The machine is small but does the trick and doesn’t take up much space in the kitchen. The color pops and adds to the fun.
