It popped up pretty well. On 2:17, the kernels were big and fluffy, and made about four big cup's (the beer pong kind, but I put popcorn in them and post them on my silly blog) worth of popcorn, with a little bit leftover. I was surprised with the mode of cheese distribution, too. I'd originally expected this to be a shake and bake operation, where I'd put the cheese on after the butter had made it malleable for cheese to be added, but no, this was all one step. So that was nice, for feasibility's sake.
The popcorn itself is a big improvement for NASA astronauts, as it can be seen from the space station Endeavor, so one point for Orville, catering to that hard-to-reach astronaut demographic. Seriously, the color is blinding, and distributes well on the kernels. It looks much more orange than this photo does. The texture is lovely. It's crispy, and has very few of the extra kernel bits that get in your teeth and require gum surgery to remove. In the entire batch, I had seven unpopped kernels, too. As far as taste goes, the first bite is buttery...and then, a hint of cheese. Very subtle. If they weren't bright fucking orange you wouldn't know that they were trying to taste like cheddar. Later, after eating a few handfuls, you realize, "Oh, this is the Vermont Cheddar Hydrogenated Oil I was telling you about, the aged one," right in the middle of Hiroshima, Mon Amour during the parade scene and your friends will look at you and call you a DOUCHE.And you will be. Just like this popcorn. I'm going to look for the nacho cheese and try it, see if it's any better, but overall, I wasn't pleased. So, what do you eat when you watch movies at home? When you go out to see a movie?

Wish I had looked up reviews before I bought this product :P
To me, the popcorn actually tasted like cardboard. I love anything with cheese in the name but this was bad...bad...and this is coming from someone who isn't very picky...lol
And enough salt to mummify one's self... Great review:)
this is coomplete and utter SHIT! talking about the taste f the popcorn, me and a buddy of mmine decided to lite it on fire and the fumes cut a fucking whole in the o-zone, and do you know why orville smiles on the box? because he doesnt have to eat this shit, he knows it tastes like shit even though he dead satan probally still makes him eat 6 bags a day
This popcorn doesnt taste like cheese at all. Its terrible. Dont waste your money!!
Agreed, this is not very good at all and I want my $2.58 plus tax back! :(
Chedder cheese, more like greasy, nasty crap in a bag. How could ConAgra ever let this go go market. Utter fail.
Nobody is talking about the smell. Did we just get a bad box or what? It's the worst smell ever. I, too, will have to return it for my money back. It'll cost me twice as much for air freshener to get the house back to neutral smelling. As for taste, NOT! This does not taste like cheese. No way.
I love cheese popcorn but this stuff is a joke! No cheese flavor at all. The people at ConAgra are really something. What a rip off - I'll never buy O.R. again!
I am returning my 2nd box. This is horrible. No taste, too oily.
