Growing up we stuck to the Pops Rite brand which included a pouch of the stuff in every bag. Like, waaay more than you would need for the bag.
We used a heavy pressure cooker pot with a folded brown paper bag between the pot and the lid to let the steam escape.
Now I’m all sophisticated so I pop a blend of Amish corns (blue, red, purple and ladyfinger), in the crank popper, using butter flavored coconut oil, and the final topping is a generous shake of Spike.
