How tiny is the popcorn, really?

The kernels are maybe half the size of the average popcorn, but the taste and the fact that it is truly without hulls mean everything to me as I am a denture wearer. After buying this popcorn and enjoying it often, I could never go back to any other popcorn!!

It is pretty tiny. I would say the average popped kernal is less than half the size of a normal popped kernal. Hope this helps!

The kernals once popped are about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of your typical popcorn. However, it tastes amazing and buttery...without adding butter! Now that I've had this popcorn, I can't go back. The typical popcorn at store tastes like cardboard and dense to me!

It is very small compared to regular popcorn but the taste is so much better and it pops up almost as big as the regular popcorn, well worth it

Not that tiny. A little smaller than regular popcorn. I wouldn't call it tiny.

Sorry, I don't know because it was a gift. I saw it at a later time and I saw that it wasn't small at all.

It's not small. Pretty good size at 1 foot tall for small party. Had to use entire bag of choco chips.

Close to 3/10ths of an inch.. So, about the thickness of a single pop-tart. (give or take a little bit)

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.

There are kind of small, but I was able to fit a medium size lego set in it. So you could probably get about 5 hand fulls of candy in it.

let's just say that my bag of microwave popcorn gets stuck....so not very big

It is more substantial than that. It is a flat piece of metal that is 3/8" high and approximately 1/16" thick. It spans the diameter of the pan in a shape that loosely resembles a "z". The paddles are tall enough to push kernels and popcorn around.

really small! almost toy like. i don't have it here to measure it (i ordered it for my mum and when i saw it i was horrified at how small! but she said she liked it...still, she doesn't use it because it's too small. she can fry an egg in it very awkwardly...)...

I have no idea! We purchased it as a gift, to use as described-to pop, popcorn!

Sorry for the delay....it is quite a bit of popcorn. I am guessing you will want two containers to store it in, that is what we do to make it easier to manage, etc.

I use 1/4-1/3 cup of white popcorn on high for about 4 minutes. I have a few unpopped kernels. It has never been tough.

I had the same problem with this questionable purchase...no instructions of any kind. The way I figured this out was to buy some of what are called "Popcorn Kits". These are all in one packages with the kernels, Coconut Oil, and Flavacol salt all pre-measured in a single package. They are sold to match the typical popcorn machine; that is, for your 8 ounce machine, you would buy an 8 ounce kit. This refers to the finished weight; that is, an 8 ounce machine will make 8 ounces (weight) of finished popcorn. The package contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels, I poured my kernels into a measuring cup and discovered that it contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels. The oil is usually stated in Tablespoons (1 Tsp = 0.5 fl. oz.). The Mega Pop kit that I used, had about 6 Tbsp--about 3 ounces--of Coconut Oil. So, the Mega Pop is 8 ounces of kernels and about 3 ounces of Coconut Oil. The general rule of thumb for popcorn is one ounce of oil for three ounces of kernels. With these machines, you put all the oil in, let it heat, then add all the kernels and the Flavacol. As the kernels pop, they will cascade out of the popper, until all the kernels are done. There are videos all over YouTube on the use of these machines. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5zs2Tpp5M

They're small, but large enough for a little bit of stuff. I know my little cousin puts food bits on them

These are super tiny; only big enough for a bit of candy or tea light. I never ended up using them because they were so little!

I haven't physically measured the amount produced, but I can estimate it. My popper's outside base dimensions are 17.75" by 14.75" and an 8 oz package of this corn creates about a 2" depth of popped kernels. If I deduct a quarter inch to better estimate the interior dimensions, the total volume the popped corn occupies is 523.625 cubic inches (17.5" x 14.5" x 2"). There are 16.387064 cubic centimeters in one cubic inch (~8580 cc of popped corn) and 236.588237 cubic centimeters in an 8 ounce cup, so my popper makes around 36 cups of popped corn using this product. Take note that this is just a rough estimate and wholly insufficient for commercial production purposes - not all poppers are the same and not all batches of raw corn produce the same volume of popped corn.

They are tiny about 2inch in height! Still nice enough to sample all of them ,cause you can than pick your favourite one for the future!
