Taste is good but just not very "Light" at all IMHO. I peeked inside the bags of this creature and there is a large amount--looks like 3 or 4 pats worth of orangy-looking "mystery" fat there. You can remove some it and reseal the bag by folding over... which I recommend that you do with this, but it's a lot of trouble. Why bother the Orville Redenbacher 94% microwave popcorn is the real article but Amazon does not have it yet as of 1-1-2009. Look again later, their buyers will probably get it in soon. I really, really like Orville 94% Fat-free popcorn and it is the one to beat. Act II has about 50% more salt than the other brands for no apparent reason. Popcorn is a very healty snack if not adulterated.

Redenbacher makes great popcorn, but this is ridiculous. Go to your local Cosco and buy a box holding 36 bags of this for $12 or less. Sheesh!

I take microwave popcorn seriously. This one is very good (3 stars). I'd rank it third after Newman's Organic Natural (5 stars) and Pop Secret Homestyle (4 stars).

When I first tried this I thought it tasted bland, but on my second attempt I shook the bag prior to opening it, and it was much much better. Now I eat it all the time. Compared to the "Natural" flavor which is extremely salty, the Light Natural flavor has a great buttery taste (palm fruit oil) and just a hint of salt. Perfect.


Other customers recommend Bearitos No Salt No Oil brand, but for me that's like eating paper (or foam packing peanuts). Redenbacher's Light Natural provides just enough flavor to make the popcorn palatable while still being very low in fat (2 grams versus 4.5 grams) and calories (110 versus 120).

This popcorn was okay, but it was WAY too salty for me. I think they should change the "simply salted" to say "seasoned with salt" or "nuthin but salt" something that indicates that this is a very salty product.
