Do you refrigerate popcorn?

I’m talking about unpopped, still in the jar. Some refrigerate, some don’t. Seems to be 2 schools of thought on this. I do refrigerate, as it seems to pop better and the salt to stick and not make its way to the bottom of the bowl. I eat about a bowl of popcorn every day, so this is something very near and dear to my heart.

Oh, and I do realize that the popcorn mafia or lobby or institute or whatever they call themselves official stance on this is no refrigeration, period. But sometimes manufacturers and the like are wrong, just ask the creators of Pop Rocks.

So how about some input…. Cold or room temperature?

I keep mine in the freezer. But I buy the bags. It makes a good ice pack if you need one, and I find I get fewer old maids.

I don’t keep popcorn around the house (I do have a few microwave bags, but not the real stuff). When I was a kid, though, the popcorn was always kept in the freezer.
