Opopop reviews and discussion

I love this popcorn. It took a minute for me to figure out how to set the bowl up but once I got it together, I experienced the best popcorn ever. (That was only the test launch package) I can’t wait to try the other flavors. Yummo times 100!!

The popcorn pops nicely. My complaint is the flavor. There is none! I was hoping for a buttery flavor on the “ extra butter “ that never happened. The pickle tasted like plain popcorn. The Maui heat has no heat. I was hard pressed to find any caramel flavor on the caramel popcorn the flavors are virtually non existent. It is not worth the price.

Convenience meets taste! I thought from the website these would be over the top with flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. Super easy, portioned pouches, you just pour into any silicone microwave popcorn maker and found all the flavors to be just the right amount of flavoring where it was tasty but not overwhelming

I recently tried DTC popcorn company, Opopop for the first time. With a great range of flavors and super easy to use kit, the way they covered the kernels made this feel indulgent but not unhealthy (140 calories per serving), and provided me with both savory and sweet snacks in recent work weeks!

I feel in love with this popcorn AND THEN I READ THE NUTRITIONAL FACTS. This popcorn is very bad for you. One bag has 90% of your daily saturated fat. 30% per serving. This isn’t something I want my family eating.

Enjoyed the fancy butter and looking forward to trying other flavors. I didn't buy the popper/lid so had to improvise with a different bowl cover for the popcorn but overall really enjoyed it. I'm going to be testing the salted umami next.

I had the opportunity to try their vanilla flavor - and I thought it was subtle, too subtle that it wasn’t enough flavor - but turns out I should have definitely shook the packet (all the flavor collected to the bottom) before putting it into a container to pop! The other mistake I made was I thought I could microwave the popcorn within the packet itself. (Read the instructions, friends) As a consumer I definitely have been trained to pop popcorn in the packaging itself, that it felt like second nature to do the same to this packet! Because of that, I almost feel like it’s a wasted opportunity and excess packaging.

I like the idea of this more than the actual product. None of the flavors were exactly what I wanted to I ended up just adding my own.

Tastes good. Some flavors have a weird aftertaste.

***2025/26 Update*** The quality has gone downhill post 2020... the microwave version is terrible, most of the time it doesn't pop or when it does it burns OR it pops perfectly but is severely lacking flavor. When i first bought the big kernel bags, they used to pack a lot of flavor but even the supper butter is lacking! Its so sad to see the quality change because this was almost better than my movie theater popcorn! Whatever you do, dont buy from Amazon....you'll be disappointed. I hate this popcorn! Now I can't buy anything else! I am typically drawn to the traditional flavors of butter and lightly salted and they knock store-bought microwave popcorn out of the park! I cant wait until they expand to brick-and-mortar stores. Update: do not buy the microwaveable bags off Amazon! It is poor quality compared to the pop cups and bags of flavor-wrapped kernels. The microwavable bags burned easily, they weren't inflating properly, and the flavor was really lacking! I wasted 4 bags out of the 9 I bought. Since Amazon doesn't do refunds for food items, I reached out to customer service and they were happy to send me a full bag of flavor-wrapped kernels--which was nice--However, they should really consider upping their shipping game. They shipped the replacement in a silver parcel with an ice pack inside a cardboard box. It's over a hundred degrees in Texas so those perfect flavor-wrapped kernels were a melted mess. I tried to refrigerate, but it created a huge block of kernels and butter superglued to each other. I had to use a hammer to break it apart again. Which also impacted the quality. Some batches were flavored some not. If Daily Harvest can ship smoothies to me without them melting in the middle of summer, so can Opopop! I'll probably try to order in the (non-existent Texas) winter from now on.

If microwave popcorn is your thing and you want a high quality, more interesting microwave popcorn than Orville Redenbacher's, this is probably a 5 star product. As the 3 half eaten bags of popcorn that have been in my refrigerator for the last year can attest to, microwave popcorn is not so much my thing. First, no need to buy their bowl. You can get the same bowl for much cheaper on Amazon. Second, this popcorn is expensive. Yes, the flavors are interesting and it's high quality popcorn, but I don't feel like it's that much better to justify the price. I've tried Maui Heat, Cinnalicious, and Vanilla Cake Pop. I could flip a coin on whether I like Cinnalicious or Vanilla Cake Pop most. The thing I like most about this product is they way it smells when it's being microwaved. It sure beats the regular microwave popcorn smell. I also like that I can manage my own portion, since I choose the amount to put into the bowl (unlike a normal bagged microwave popcorn).

Very fun! My kids love it.

This popcorn is a problem. On one hand, it’s delicious, especially the sweet flavors. On the other hand, this popcorn is how I learned my stomach can’t handle sucralose (Splenda). The best flavors, Vanilla Cake Pop, Salted Caramel, and Chocolate Mint, contain enough sucralose to make me feel sick for a day. The savory flavors are also good but there aren’t enough options to justify buying refills very often.

I’m a big fan of opopop. The name is so fun to say and the popcorn is delicious. The salty caramel flavor is all I wanted and more! The popper is also easy to use with your own kernels.

I was so surprised by how much better this popcorn is than your standard microwave bag! Somehow it just tastes fresher and the flavors feel less like paint. I got the variety pack and am not a huge fan of the sweet flavors but that’s more my vibe than the flavors being bad - I just love a salty popcorn, and the Lightly Salted and Like Buddah both delivered!!

Unique flavors and I like how the package comes with its own popping bowl.

The popper is my favorite part of the Opopop set; the holes in the lid help it cool down quickly after coming out of the microwave. I also like the big bags that eliminate single-serving packaging. I’ve tried every flavor and there are some hits and misses, but as a system I enjoy it. The fancy butter, salty umami, and vanilla are especially great.

Easy to make with a great variety of flavors.

Love this idea as I love flavored popcorn and it is always so hard to get the powdered flavor to stick. This new method from Opopop definitely works at packing in the flavor.

We love Opopop so much in our household that we bought two poppers so that we can keep popping while one is in the dishwasher! Our favorite flavors are Maui Heat, Cinnalicious, Birthday Cake, and Fancy Butter.
