I NEED to find this Popcorn

Drea

Yep, it's a necessity :rolleyes:

I'm looking for Orville Redenbacher's Microwave Popcorn (Movie Theatre Butter). We used to buy it from Tesco then they stopped selling it, then from Morrissons and they stopped selling it and now we can't find it anywhere!!

Anyone got a clue where to buy this from? Anything on the net? I live in Edinburgh, so if you happen to know of anywhere that'd be great too!

Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the local forum. Sorry if it's the wrong one.

Only place that seems to be selling it apart from ebay which I wouldn't touch with a ten foot stick. It's the USA part of Amazon but they do ship to the uk and you will most likely save money; also the main page that has it on is http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=379132011

Thank you! I am obsessed with the stuff and when I couldn't find it I almost died. I'm guessing they must be doing away with it? Although I don't understand why.

Ohh wait, it's actually movie theatre butter... I didn't realise there were different kinds of butter.

It's still available in my local Tesco and Morrisons ... have you asked whether they're going to be restocking? Near me (SW London, sorry, it's a bit of a way from you ), it's all been on special offer lately so maybe there's just a shortage at the moment. Or you could try here, they haven't got any in at the moment but they usually have the Pop-Secret American butter popcorn which is really good. They might be able to get you some if you ask.

Tesco haven't stocked it for about 6 months now, morrissons are still stocking their other flavours but say they have no plans to get more of the butter one

You could try asking to speak to the grocery manager (I don't know if that's what they are called in Tesco) and ask them very nicely if they would order a box for you. You would of course have to buy however many they come in (usually 6's or 12's) but I'm sure if you explained and made sure they weren't out of pocket by buying the lot they would order you some in specially as they can obviously still get it its just not selling very well so they don't want to take away shelf space from something more popular.
Its got to be worth a try.

If you have shops near you called One Stop (a newsagenty/supermarkety type of shop) then they definitely sell it in there. I know because I have a packet in my cupboard waiting to be nuked and eaten.

In fact my local One Stop only sells the Movie Butter flavour.

Never heard of a One Stop... will keep my eyes peeled now though! I might try that safesound if I can't find it anywhere. I have no problem buying in bulk.

You could try ringing the manufacturers - the UK contact details are here They might be able to tell you of suppliers near you, or point you in the direction of a wholesaler.

Ooo thank you ginger, I'm going to do that when I get home, people in the office might think I'm insane if I do it now
