A few months ago, we took a long weekend to this fantastic resort in Missouri Wine Country. We had a house to ourselves and I looked forward to a few relaxing days with just my family. We love sharing a bowl of popcorn in the evenings while we watch a movie together, so I made sure to pack a box of Pop Secret along. Since we were only there a few days, I packed a box of 3. That was a big mistake. In an unfamiliar kitchen, I totally winged making the popcorn for us. The first time, I failed. The second time, I failed. The third time? You guessed it…I failed! I wasted all three boxes in one night. My son was disappointed and the house stunk like burnt popcorn!
If only I knew then what I know now! These days, I use the Pop Secret Perfect Pop App!
Everyone can relate to the frustration of burning popcorn, so Pop Secret decided to solve the problem once and for all, so you can spend more time enjoying movies and less time worrying about burned popcorn!
With your iPhone 5+ on iOS 7+, download Perfect Pop (“Perfect Popcorn”) for free on the App Store. It’s so easy to use!
1. Put a bag of Pop Secret in the microwave and enter suggested cooking time from the packaging. Note: Perfect Pop is optimized for the deliciousness of Pop Secret popcorn only.
2. Turn up the volume on your iPhone. Point the phone’s speaker towards the microwave and keep within 3 feet.
3. Start the microwave, and then start the app.
No more relying on the popcorn button or guessing how many seconds in between pops. Pop Secret is serious about perfect popcorn, so the less you have to worry about, the more time you can spend enjoying movie night with your friends & family. Perfect Pop listens to the pops, waiting for the precise moment to let you know when your popcorn is perfect.
I mentioned before that my son LOVES the addition of Pop Secret popcorn to our family movie nights, so he thinks this app is so much fun! He says it’s like magic!
Do you have any burned popcorn horror stories?

The worse popcorn burn stories are when you are in your office and someone in the vending area burns the popcorn and that smell gets in your hair and nice clothes!
