Lots of popcorn

I just watched a YouTube video about the whirlypop popcorn maker. I suppose it is an okay gadget, but I prefer a multi-purpose pot over the stove to a single purpose pan. However, it did bring to mind a certain popper of corn: Wil.

popcorn On the left is Wil and his popcorn maker. To the right is my sister, eating popcorn. Wil made popcorn at nearly every camping club meeting that we attended. He used a seasoned semi-solid oil (peanut oil?) that was yellow-orange which made the popcorn a bright yellow. It was delicious.

There were at least 30-40 people that were served from that kettle of popcorn and my sister and I would run bags of popcorn over to everyone who wanted one. Once everyone had what they wanted, we would then start going campsite-to-campsite to deliver popcorn to anybody who wanted some.

Ahh, the good old days when it was easy to trust a stranger that offered a free bag of popcorn. I haven't been camping in years and don't know if that type of trust is still present at a campground.
