I wish I could remember where I read/heard about that! It's going to drive me nuts until I remember.


I know at the time they said something about not sure which catagory it should be in... maybe it was because of purchasing????]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:13:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413866&title=popcorn#413866 <![CDATA[Popcorn : I LOVE their CARAMEL corn..YUMMO!

Tara - the Heart Foundation tick is something that is bought. The company buys the tick to put on their products, so it's quite likely that it still is a healthier option, but maybe the company doesn't pay to use the tick anymore.

I was the receptionist at Pop'n'Good for 3 years...

The light'n'buttery popcorn used to have the heart foundation tick. I am not entirely sure why it doesn't anymore (unless it does). Obviously popping your own is better for you (unless you are coating it in your own butter etc).

Used to eat loads of the stuff and get it under half price when I worked there. Pop'n'Good also are the distributors of the American stuff Act II (microwave popcorn).

Anyone tried the chocolate and caramel coated popcorn made by Pop'n'Good. Hard to find... but soooooo good.]]> Mon, 16 Jun 2008 03:15:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413571&title=popcorn#413571 <![CDATA[Popcorn : You can air pop in the microwave....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413261&title=popcorn#413261 Author: mummyofprinces

You can air pop in the microwave. Just pop the corn kernels in a brown paper bag and twist it closed.

Yummy ]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:00:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413261&title=popcorn#413261 <![CDATA[Popcorn : I don&#039;t think it&#039;s considered...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413073&title=popcorn#413073 Author: AliaDawn

I don't think it's considered a healthy snack if it's prepackaged/buttered etc... but if it's plain then it is. All purpose seasoning is a nice taste for older kids for popcorn, without overdoing it on the sugar or grease.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:35:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413073&title=popcorn#413073 <![CDATA[Popcorn : Those little popcorn machines...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413054&title=popcorn#413054 Author: aussiegirl

We have one at kindy and the kids LOVE watching it pop out! ]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 09:58:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413054&title=popcorn#413054 <![CDATA[Popcorn : I always thought that about popcorn...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413048&title=popcorn#413048 Author: My3Sons

I always thought that about popcorn too! (the choking thing!).  Mr 2 loves it too, I just keep a pretty close eye on him when he is eating it, I dont like the stuff myself but ocacsionally DH will pop some if they are watching a movie or something.

I didn't give her any until about 2. And made sure to pick our all the unpopped kernels.

Popping your is definitely healthy - and sooo easy (not to mention cheaper).
I just put my pan on medium/high, heat some oil, add kernels and keep moving the pan until they start popping.]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 09:18:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=413025&title=popcorn#413025 <![CDATA[Popcorn : I don&#039;t feed it to Ashlee,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=412932&title=popcorn#412932 Author: baalamb

I don't feed it to Ashlee, but I suspect she's had some at her daycare. Far too paranoid about the choking hazard! And I'd pop my own. Less additives/colour/sodium that way too.]]> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:01:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=412932&title=popcorn#412932 <![CDATA[Popcorn : I love pop n good.

I love pop n good. Probably bettr to pop your own, but Imlazy. Yep its a good snack, considered healthy as long as its not laden with butter and salt.]]> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:58:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=412928&title=popcorn#412928 <![CDATA[Popcorn : Is it considered a &#039;healthy&#039;...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=412921&title=popcorn#412921 Author: BuzzyBee

Is it considered a 'healthy' snack for toddlers? I always thought there was a choking risk but was told otherwise by a friend. If I give Lucas some, he eats it like it's going out of fashion. I'm just wondering if its okay for him to eat ...and which is a better option - the microwave light butter ones or the ones that come in lil snack/chippy type packs from pop'n' good?

TIA]]> Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:44:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18241&PID=412921&title=popcorn#412921
