Pop like a boss. and it doubles as a hot tub to cook small people for cannibals in the off season i guess.

Long Time fan of Jiffy Pop! IMHO it's the best solution for camping. Great corn and easy cleanup

IS AN ORIGINAL COMMERCIAL --- FOLLOWED BY HOW TO MAKE IT WITHOUT BURNING IT.
I REMEMBER MY DAD BURNING IT (IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER) SO BADLY HE SET OFF THE SMOKE DETECTOR IN THE HOUSE AND HAD TO OPEN ALL THE WINDOWS AND DOORS. IT WAS -20ISH OUT AND WE DARN NEAR FROZE.
BUT HE ATE THE BURNT POPCORN TO SHOW US IT WAS STILL GOOD.

X3. But after seeing the Whirley Pop on here, the wife just might get 1 of those for Christmas. 
The big complaint I have with Jiffy Pop is that it has a relatively short shelf life.
When checking out at the store, some younger clerks will ask "what is that".

Whirley Pops do good. Mine was kinda defective from the get go, and it's my fault for not getting a part under warranty. I got my Whirley Pop from Bass Pro Shops, but Wal-Mart and other places carry them.
The one I have, the main gear is plastic, and is held on to the crank shaft with a metal set screw. Well, evidently the set screw stripped out the plastic and would not stay in the plastic gear, working it's way out... and then the gear would fall off the shaft.
I got irritated with this, and was going to put loctite or something to stop this but one of us lost the gear in the interim. After reading this thread, I may go ahead and order a gear, and try to put our whirley pop back in action.
