I was told many moons ago when I worked for a General Cinema location that the alleged butter they use on movie theater popcorn is mostly coconut oil, and is far less healthy than butter. They use it because it keeps better at room temperature. I remember filling that dispenser when working concessions, and it came in gallon jugs and was more clear than yellow.

My name is Katie and I live in Oklahoma. I have never used coconut oil, but, I find it interesting that you have used it on popcorn and it taste like movie butter popcorn. Where are you from? I need to look up more information and recipes on using coconut oil. Do you have some to share? I think you will enjoy the list, people on here are all very helpful when someone has questions. Plus, you get some really good recipes! So enjoy!
