My kiddos and I love to end our crazy busy week with a Friday night movie viewed from the comfort of our own family room couch. Of course, what is a movie night without movie night supplies, especially popcorn? Make sure that the popcorn you serve your family or movie night guests is only the best. We help you out with this list of American made movie night supplies.
Made in USA Movie Night Supplies, All American Made
Popcorn Poppers
The Original Atom Pop
Nothing beats the flavor of fresh stovetop popped corn kernels! Unfortunately, I never prepare popcorn this way because...well...I burn it. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That is, until I received the made in Kansas Atom Pop Corn Popper.
The Atom Pop Corn Popper was designed back in the early 50s to make perfectly popped (and not burnt) popcorn. The unique retro spaceship shape of the Atom Pop forces popped corn kernels up and off of the heated bottom of the pan, which prevents burning. This is unlike a flat bottom pan where popped kernels remain on the heat. Also, the Atom Pop Corn Popper is made of aluminum, which doesn't hold heat like today's stainless steel or ceramic pans, and this lessens the chance of burnt popcorn. The Atom Pop Corn Popper requires no shaking or stirring, so it is just as easy to use as the microwave and it works on electric or gas stovetops. The easy to use Atom Pop Corn Popper is perfect for those who love flavorful (and healthier) popped corn.
NordicWare Pro Pop Popper
The NordicWare Pro Pop Popper is great for those who love the convenience of microwave popcorn, but want to avoid the chemicals that are included in artificial flavorings. No oil or butter is needed for cooking.
The Nordicware Pro Pop Popper is made from BPA-free and melamine free plastic and is a high heat plastic.
Popcorn

Fresco Plastic Bowls, Set of 8
Another home movie night must have is individual bowls.

I have not made popcorn on the stove in YEARS. This popper does loot interesting .
BUT this is what turned me on – honey mixed with melted butter poured over the popcorn and topped with salt —- THIS I AM GOING TO DO!
My family eats A LOT of popcorn. This cooker would be perfect for us. Currently my husband makes popcorn in a huge cast iron dutch oven type pan. It is so heavy I cannot even lift it, so something more manageable would be helpful in my kitchen!
I love that Atom Pop, never heard of it before. The design is classic 50’s!
I am something of a popcorn ADDICT. Thanks for the great suggestions!
I admit I usually just toss a bag into the microwave, lol. (Yep, I burn it sometimes, too.) I miss the popcorn we made when I was a kid (the 70s)–you had to put in in a big kettle with oil or butter & shake the kettle constantly, but it tasted better.
I would love to try this Atom Pop! Getting all these things together would make a fun gift basket for so many occasions.
Oh, junior mints! Those were my absolute favorite thing at the movies, as a kid. I love those.
I love my Atom Pop! It’s just as easy to make popcorn in it as it is to make microwave popcorn. Plus popcorn made in the Atom Pop isn’t greasy like microwave popcorn.
I love my atom pop! It makes the best popcorn ever, and it is pretty enough for my open shelving when I am not using it. 😉
We have an Atom Pop as well and our family loves it also!!! Such a great and tasty alternative to microwave popcorn! It’s better for you and better tasting as well! It’s definitely a movie night (or anytime) staple! Can’t wait to try your honey flavor!
