This popcorn came with black bugs. They were dead, but I still don't want to eat them. Why are there no returns on this product when are buggy?

We had the opposite problem. We ordered our worms in the dead of winter in upstate ny. They were dropped off on our front porch for hours before we noticed them. The package clearly said "perishable" and "live" yet the PO still left them to freeze, which they did. Out of 200 we probably had 50 still alive. If you need them in the summer go to Walmart. But if it is a cooler season for you then these are nice worms that come nicely packaged. Price wise walmart worms are 30 for $3ish. We supplemented ours with a few containers of walmart worms. As far as we know everyone got along. No worm wars. But many babies. ;-)

The first one I owned of these the handle fell off. It was a glasss handle. I was foolish enough to buy another one 10 years later hoping the handle problem had been addressed. So I thought since they changed to a silicone handle maybe they had fixed the problem. I see they have not. My main problem with this popper this time is that I didn't like the way the popcorn tasted after popping it. I only used it twice and gave it to Goodwill. I did not use it enough to wait for the handle to fall off. Even if you found another handle I don't know how you would attach it. Whatever way the manufacturer is attaching is not working so I don't think anyone else could do it either. The first one I owned of these the handle fell off. It was a glasss handle.

I actually bought mine from a retail outlet and they gave me my money back as the replacements failed too. Their entire stock turned out to be defective. I tried to contact the distributor directly to complain about their product and got no response. If you bought from Amazon, lodge your complaint and insist that the product be removed.

I had a bad infestation. They were flying around the house. It took about a month to no longer see them but I now keep traps in the pantry at all times and replace them if they get over loaded. They will always be there if you keep a lot of grain items in your pantry as the eggs are in the grain, this includes cereal. Also I now try to keep these items in airtight containers. I no longer see them in the house but still see some in the traps on occasion.

I personally haven't had a problem with bugs in Swheat Scoop. I have had them in some alfalfa reptile bedding, though. So what I do now, with any organic product like this, is open the bag outdoors, well away from any entrance to the house. If there are any bugs, they should be pretty obvious

You are better off going to the store and buying a jar of Orville Redenbacher and regular oil. Otherwise the package is cut into 3rd or 4ths depending on how much you want to pop. When we tried to pop 1/3 alot of the kernels did not pop but 1/4 of the package worked fine but was very very messy so we managed through the popcorn and went and bought popcorn and measuring spoons/cup at the store and that worked best

There is nothing you could do except try to return it. I bought mine and enjoyed it for a whole hour and still can't return it! (Fred).

its kinda inhumane but...they are bugs. they die while in the bag, unless of course you choose to kill them.

i would advise you not to eat any unsealed food products !!!!!! return them as damaged goods and ask for new shipment .

I can't answer that question for you. My bugs arrived fine, all alive, etc. but when I put them on thehibiscus bush to take care of my problem they were all dead within one hour! Have no idea what wentwrong.

I was a bit disappointed as well--I add a little more of the oil stick than probably recommended. Not sure if this would help, but I agree with you...the popcorn is chewy.

I ordered Black Jewel popcorn in December, 2013. The 'best before' date is Feburary 2015. We're already on our fifth jar.We'll never make it to the expiration date.

i had no luck with this vendor, they shipped damaged product, the candies were all wet and sticky inside the wrappers? go figure. when i tried to return them, i was refused. I was under the impression that the item and vendor were removed from Amazon?

Turn it off when popcorn stops coming out. The top is solid black and gets very hot.

This product SUCKS!! It does NOT make popcorn, and even if it does, you can count the kernels. Its a lot smaller than it looks. If it gives dimensions, measure it out and you'll see how small it is. I returned this piece of crap

I had the same problem from the same batch (I ordered the end of October). I contacted Great Northern Popcorn and they sent me a free replacement. You should do the same!
