Make your own.Odells is just ghee. Buy any brand of real butter at any store that has a good price, stick it in a buttermat and let it heat for the entire evening. The oil and water will separate. Use a metal turkey baster to remove the water and a spoon to remove the gunk from the top. You'll save some money, but don't expect a major cost savings. Milk products are price supported. BTW, you can't get good results using store butter directly on popcorn until the water has been removed. The water will melt the cornstarch and make part of the corn mushy and stinky. Using butter oil as a topping is traditional, but I've never found that it adds anything to the taste except an oily feel and a way to catch salt and hold it on the kernals. Some people go ga-ga over butter though, so maybe they are tasting something I can't. People have different taste and smell sensitivities.

Personally, I prefer Odells real butter over all others...I just like the flavor and I will only get popcorn if the theatre has either that or Land-O-Lakes real butter. It is that simple. The other stuff just ruins the popcorn. Last time I checked on using real butter on popcorn...it came to something like 8 cents per serving on the typical "regular or small" popcorn container that cost $2.00. So please don't whine about the butter cost. Steve ------------------
