>I decided to try white popcorn, it's some of the worst popcorn I've had. Small and tough. Back to yellow, either Jolly Time or Pop Secret, but most likely Meijer brand.
It might be the particular brand of white popcorn, or just that particular bag... I'm pretty sure I've bought white plenty of times, and I can't remember any problems. Although, of course, "YMMV" and all that...
I assume Meijer brand is a store brand. Much of the time, that was what I'd buy. A Kroger store brand seemed to work quite well for me (at least 5-10 years ago, when I was still buying popcorn regularly). I did start buying one Jolly Time variety regularly...but only because it was organic.
>I alternate between an air popper - I know most hate them
I'm not a fan, but I've used these. They certainly are more convenient than a popper that needs hand washing! From my memories, while I think oil popped (stove or electric popper) is better, I like air popped better than microwaved.
