In fact, roughly 25% of the total  calories we eat every day come from snacks, which is why it's important  to choose foods that fit into our healthy lifestyles. \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e One way we  can snack smarter is by adding more whole grains and fiber to our diets.  Only 20% of Americans reach the recommended whole-grain intake, and  only 5% reach the recommended fiber amount. \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e Luckily for us,  popcorn provides both of these nutrients, especially compared to other  common snacks like chips and candy. Studies have even shown that popcorn  eaters have twice the amount of whole grains in their diet and about  20% more fiber. \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e Another reason popcorn should be your snack of  choice is because you can eat more for fewer calories. Other snacks can  have triple the amount of calories in a 1-cup serving. So next time  you're craving a snack, choose the one that allows you to have all of  the flavor, with none of the guilt. \u003c\/p\u003e        \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eHow Popcorn Pops:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e Popcorn  is a whole-grain maize product, grown extensively in the corn belt  states of the U.S. It's like corn-on-the-cob in appearance and  cultivation, but only popcorn kernels are capable of popping. \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e Popcorn's  ability to pop lies in the fact that the kernels contain a small amount  of water stored in a circle of soft starch inside the hard outer  casing. When heated, the water expands, creating pressure within, until  eventually the casing gives way and the kernels explode and pop. This  allows the water to escape as steam, turning the kernels inside out. \u003c\/p\u003e     \u003cp class=\"a-spacing-base\"\u003e The  key to having more kernels pop is a constantly improved product.  Throughout the years, popcorn processors have implemented significant  hybrid popcorn seed research to continually enhance their product. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContains twelve (12) 33.01-ounce bags ACT II Xtreme Butter Microwave Popcorn\nMicrowave popcorn with high-impact flavor\nThe best value in popcorn\nGluten free\n0 grams trans fat per serving\u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 4.25 x 8.25 x 6.25 inches; 2.06 Pounds\nItem model number ‏ : ‎ 00076150332308\nUPC ‏ : ‎ 076150332308\nManufacturer ‏ : ‎ Conagra\nUnits ‏ : ‎ 33.0 Ounce\nBest Sellers Rank: #1,811 in Grocery \u0026amp; Gourmet Food\nContains twelve (12) 33.01-ounce bags ACT II Xtreme Butter Microwave Popcorn\nMicrowave popcorn with high-impact flavor\nThe best value in popcorn\nGluten free\n0 grams trans fat per serving\nIngredients: Popping Corn, Palm Oil, Salt, Less Than 2% of: Color Added (Annatto), Natural Flavors, Butter, TBHQ and Citric Acid (for Freshness).\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"geo-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the popcorn bag safe for my child to help prepare without an open flame or hot oil?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each ACT II Xtreme Butter bag pops entirely inside its own sealed pouch in the microwave — no stovetop, no pot, no hot oil, and no exposed heat source. A child just places the bag in the microwave, hits start, and the bag does the work. Once it cools for about a minute, it opens like a regular bag with no sharp edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the individual 2.75 oz bags a good portion size for a kid's lunch box or after-school snack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2.75 oz single-serve bags are designed around a child-friendly portion. One bag fits easily into a standard lunch box or backpack pocket, and the pre-measured size takes the guesswork out of serving, so parents do not have to count cups or weigh snacks before packing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this popcorn gluten-free and safe for a child with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. ACT II Xtreme Butter is formulated to be gluten-free, so it is suitable for households managing celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The ingredient list is free from gluten-containing grains, making it a low-stress snack option for kids with dietary restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the strong butter flavor be too overwhelming for picky young eaters?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers describe the Xtreme Butter flavor as rich and buttery but not greasy or wet on the lips. Reviewers note it has a balanced, light salt level compared to other popcorn brands, which tends to land well with kids who reject overly salty or oily snacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I keep a few bags in the pantry for sleepovers and playdate snack rotations?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The 12-bag bulk pack is built for exactly that use case. Each bag is individually sealed for freshness, so you can pull out one or two for a playdate, save the rest for the next sleepover, and still have a couple left in reserve for an after-school snack rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a smart snack to pack in my kid's school lunch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, parents regularly pack ACT II Xtreme Butter for lunch boxes. The 2.75 oz bag is a single, pre-portioned serving, the popcorn is gluten-free with 0g trans fat, and the sealed pouch keeps the kernels fresh and crunchy until lunchtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs ACT II Xtreme Butter a better choice for my family than Orville Redenbacher's butter popcorn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany reviewers say yes. Customers report that ACT II Xtreme Butter pops more kernels per bag, has a more pronounced movie-theater butter aroma, and tends to be priced noticeably lower per serving than comparable Orville Redenbacher's butter varieties, which matters for families buying in bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare in price to buying individual bags at the supermarket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-bag case delivers a substantially lower cost-per-serving than single bags purchased at the grocery checkout.

It is a shelf-stable, gluten-free popcorn.

Even so, for very young children, it is wise to check the bowl before serving, just as you would with any popcorn brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCould the popcorn bag get dangerously hot in the microwave and burn my child?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag does get hot during popping, which is normal for any microwave popcorn. Standard practice is to let the bag rest for about one minute after the microwave stops, then open it away from the face. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children handling the bag right after popping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to send this popcorn in a metal lunch box, or will it affect the popcorn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe popcorn is fully popped before packing, so the metal lunch box has no effect on the kernels. The bag itself is a sealed mylar-style pouch, which protects the popcorn from crushing or going stale during the school day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the bulk 12-pack wasteful if my kids only eat one bag at a time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot at all. Each bag is individually sealed, so you only open what you need. The remaining bags stay fresh in the pantry for months, which is why the 12-count format is actually ideal for households that snack on one bag at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the buttery smell bother children with sensitive noses or sensory issues?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomers describe the aroma as rich and movie-theater-like, but it is not harsh or chemical-smelling. If your child is highly sensitive to scent, popping the bag near an open window or running the kitchen vent fan is usually enough to keep the room comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the packaging safe if my toddler gets ahold of an unopened bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bags are sealed food-grade pouches. They are not a choking hazard at the bag level, but the kernels inside are small and should not be given to toddlers under about 3 years old. Always store the case up and out of reach of very young children, as you would with any popcorn product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the biggest hesitation parents have before buying ACT II Xtreme Butter for their kids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common hesitation is whether microwave popcorn is truly a healthy enough choice for children, given concerns about sodium and butter flavoring. ACT II Xtreme Butter addresses this with 0g trans fat, gluten-free ingredients, a moderate salt level compared to competitors, and pre-portioned 2.75 oz bags that prevent over-serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I microwave ACT II Xtreme Butter popcorn to get the best results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace one bag in the microwave with the correct side up as printed on the bag. Set the microwave on high for about 3 minutes, though the exact time varies by microwave wattage. Stop the microwave when popping slows to about 1 to 2 seconds between pops. Let the bag rest for about 1 minute before opening to let the steam settle, then carefully pull the bag open from the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does each bag stay fresh after I open it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce a bag is popped and opened, the popcorn is best enjoyed within a day for maximum crunch. If you want to save leftovers, store them in a sealed container or a clip-top bag at room temperature. Unopened bags, by contrast, stay fresh in the pantry for a long time because they are individually sealed at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to add butter, oil, or salt to the popcorn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the Xtreme Butter flavor is built into the bag, so no additional butter, oil, or salt is required. Just pop and eat. If you do want to customize, a light sprinkle of extra salt is the most common add-on, but most buyers eat it straight from the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this popcorn work in any microwave, including older dorm and office units?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, ACT II Xtreme Butter works in virtually any standard household, dorm, or office microwave. The only adjustment may be the cook time, since lower-wattage microwaves can take a few extra seconds and higher-wattage microwaves may finish a few seconds faster.

Nothing else is required.
