If this is just colored coconut oil, why is this any better than just using coconut oil? Will plain coconut oil taste the same as this?

Use coconut oil. It's NOT better. Some people feel popcorn tastes better yellow (what??). Really, this stuff is awful. I have a full container- don't know what to do with it. Surely won't use it. Personally, I use good ol' peanut oil now.

I don't know. I've never tried anything but this kind. You'll have to experiment.

Yeah, plain coconut oil tastes about the same, but this turns the popcorn the yellowish color you're used to seeing at the movies and everywhere else you buy commercial popcorn. That's the only difference.

I would imagine so, however, we all "eat with our eyes", and the beta carotene that colors the kernels yellow, along with the seasoned salt, just makes it taste and seem more buttery.

The coconut solids are delicious. If the oil has separated to the top, I scrape it off and use it as cooking oil. I use it in smoothies and cookies for an intense coconut flavor. I don't know exactly what coconut butter is. But this stuff is truly delicious.

The only way I see these drops as "better" is that the oil added is pure coconut oil (as opposed to a combo of coconut & palm which is in the Carlson drops). Personally, I believe coconut to be an healthier option.

When you use the Cod Liver Oil flavored Lightly with Lemon, you don't taste it (usually over and over) again. My eye doctor told me about this, when he strongly suggested that I try it for an issue that I'm having with my eyes - - he knows that I'm a wimp about the taste of cod liver oil anyhow, so he suggested that I use the lemon-flavored oil; but he did tell me to use Carlson's oil, whatever flavor that I ended up using. He would not recommend any of the other brands of cod liver oils. Hope that this helps.

this is more for a carrier oil for massage (you can add essential oils to it)wouldn't recommend it for eating (you can Google it...not 100% sure). It has no smell to it (and probably no taste) but if you want a no taste coconut oil, I'll recommended Wilderness Family Natural.com, they have a non flavored coconut oil that I use for my frying and baking. Buying a gallon a year :) Hope it helps

No, there's no similarities , I think you should stick to your virgin coconut oil. I don't think it's 100% pure.

The flavors are the same, the coloring of this just makes it 'look' like movie popcorn. We use the popcorn salt with this and my husband adds the nasty (in my opinion) fake butter that theaters have. It really does taste like movie popcorn. We've also used the stick oil and that's good as well.

This is advertised as being used by movie theaters, well the one with beta carotene is. The beta carotene only adds a yellow color, so, yes, there shouldn't be a problem. Coconut oil is desirable because it performs well in high heat. You might consider the yellow version because of the pleasant golden color of the popped corn.

No, just a wonderful satisfying flavor. It does not have what you'd expect as a "coconut" flavor. I stir fry with it, bake with it, many things....no coconut-y taste.

(By the way this oil is not crap, it is not virgin or extra virgin so it will not smell or taste coconuty) There are two kinds of 100% coconut oil from snappy (well 3 including the organic) one is colored orange- yellow to look like butter. I believe they use anatto seed. I have purchased the white oil in the gallon multiple times and it looks white to me.

Yes, same thing. If it's red palm oil, it's produced from palm fruit. There are other oils produced from palms (palm kernel oil, coconut oil) but those lack the red color and the healthy carotenoids contained in the red palm oil.

The flavor between the Colored and normal White coconut oil should be identical, but personally I detect a wild difference. For some strange reason the Snappy White Coconut Oil has a faint cinnamon like scent and flavor. Snappy Colored Coconut Oil does not have this problem and works just like the coconut oil that many movie theaters used prior to the coconut oil hoax.

I mix it with 1/2 cup coconut oil. Water. It was a perfect color. Not too bright. No purple. You can youtube how to mix it. I made it kinda thick. I would add about a half cup water, go from there in what consistency you prefer.

It is coconut oil with coloring added. It taste good but if you are after butter flavor, flavacol and or o'dells topping is what I use.

Hi, I'm sorry I just saw this...I would say "no" as I have found a lot of "spreads" and "butters" are mostly oil and this stuff is the full coconut; pulp, cold processed so that you get flavorful fiber with it...HOWEVER...I have just found Artisana Oganics , Raw Coconut Butter, Whole Coconut Purée that is the same full pulp& oil content as this product. So I scout for whole, organic, cold processed. Am using it to enrich my coconut kifer
