Switchback the Korny replies: Say, you should try the Jolly Time  
Butter-Licious microwave popcorn.  I cook it at work on my office microwave  that sits on 
top of my office refrig full of cold drinks. This is because I am  desperate 
for a snack break.  Plus, I get a lot more work done taking a  popcorn lunch 
at my desk/computer.  Nice.
 
The Jolly Time is not the super best grade of gourmet popcorn  cooked with 
white Crisco, but it is not bad at all.  I bought a large bag  of popcorn at 
Whole Foods and might take that too on the Mt. Whitney  Expedition.  I have 
absolutely no doubt that if a PCT hiker was banging  along the trail and getting 
worn out, they would get a tremendous pick-up from a  popcorn snack.  Super 
trail power.  I have done this.  In fact,  this might be my main staple on my 
PCT/JMT Section Unsupported Record  attempt.  I will have 4 or 5 of those giant 
monster bags you can get  at the Walmart SuperStore.  They look like jumbo leaf 
trash bags full of  popcorn.
