Greek seasoning or Zatarans Blackened Seasoning are good bets, more spice than salt

I have heard people tell of using the seasoning packets that come with ramen noodles.

I'm a purest. I generally just use butter and salt, but sometimes sprinkle on that fake-ish grated parmesan & romano cheese that you shake out of a canister.

Buffalo sauce flavored popcorn powder is pretty good if you can find it.

I top my popcorn with Lawry's garlic salt. Tastes great on actual corn too.

I was about to scroll by because I have nothing helpful to add, when I saw the last few words „…instead of salt alone“. Salt? You guys are wild! The only thing that belongs on popcorn is sugar (and this way I‘m showing that I‘m German, I guess, while you prove to be from the US, I think. Taste is funny. Enjoy).

Our favourite here is garlic-infused olive oil with nutritional yeast.

It's addictive as hell. Once you get into nutritional yeast, you want to put it on everything.

Chilli crisp goes hard on popcorn! Lao gan ma is a good brand, though homemade is far superior - I like to caramelise my onions before crisping them up, and I also like to use a variety of chillis (including some relatively hot ones)!

Some dashes of hot sauce can be nice. Doesn’t usually make it too soggy as long as you’re not to wild in the streets with it.

Popcorn is super flexible, if there’s a flavor you like there’s a good chance you’ll like it on popcorn… just have to watch out for texture. You want to add a little moisture but not make it wet, beyond that… you are the artist and the popcorn is your palette 🎨

Cheddar cheese powder. The neon orange stuff that stains your fingers.

My two favorites are chili powder + sugar and curry powder.

go on amazon and buy 1kg of flavacol and eat cinema popcorn every night

I eat popcorn every night and I throw literally anything on it. I do it different each night! Are you in the US? You can buy many seasoning blends and they’re all good. McCormick makes ones that are meant for grilling food but they’re good on popcorn, like their Montreal Steak, Brazilian Steal, Montreal Chicken, etc. If you have access to Trader Joe’s they have an Umami blend that is good, their onion salt blend is good on popcorn. Smoked paprika, Garam masala, anything. Nutritional yeast. Go wild!

Tajin or ranch powder work pretty well too

• Garlic Salt, onion power, and parsley flakes.
• Cajun seasoning
• Cinnamon roll blend - https://thegingeredwhisk.com/cinnamon-roll-spice-mix/

If you're willing to add some calories, oil. I got an oil sprayer. I fill it half with chili oil, half with olive oil; not too hot, but gives it a kick. Sprayed on, it doesn't put nearly as much in as being drizzled on. It helps make powdery stuff adhere to the popcorn, too.

I have a salt shaker of Flavacol, which is the "salt" part of what goes into movie theater popcorn.

Movie theaters use (or used, dunno if this has changed) palm oil. This can congeal at room temperature, so may need to be heated.

Powdered butter or powdered various sorts of cheese can be kept in the fridge and can just be sprinkled on.

Cinnamon and sugar can be sprinkled on.

I always like to mix in some butter and sriracha

This might be the only food that is sweeter outside of the US, well, besides kettle corn.

When I eat it enough to get tired of butter and salt, I spritz on evoo or tamari/soy sauce. For spice blends, I really like the ones from Penzey’s, especially Sunny Spain, or something else that amounts to lemon pepper.

To get the movie theatre experience you can use oil and butter-salt (the yellow powder they use). Try peanut oil for cooking in a pot, then butter-salt, and top with drizzle of real melted butter. Obviously not a healthy choice but it’s great.

Grated Parmesan cheese

Consider olive oil instead of butter just in general. We just do olive oil and salt but love some of the other ideas here.

I use Slap Ya Mamma Cajun seasoning and Cavender's Greek seasoning on popcorn all the time.

My goto is butter plus Aromat (a flavored msg based seasoning)

Nutritional yeast, garlic powder, msg, and salt is my go to. I mix it up with other spices too but the nutch and msg reminds me of cheese puffs. Have to start with plain popcorn though, I don't like nutch with buttered popcorn.
Coconut oil and salt is also amazing.

I have never tried this myself, but I am curious to know how well furikake works with popcorn.

Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packets. Just sprinkle some on. Be sure it’s the dry powder!

Trader Joe’s “Everything But the Elote” seasoning salt is pretty good. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/everything-but-the-elote-seasoning-blend-066804

I like Old Bay. But really, any seasoning blend works pretty good. If you have a spice grinder, you might consider grinding it finer so it distributes better.

I have a WhirleyPop so making kettle corn is pretty easy, since you stir the whole time.

I spray them with olive oil (from a spray can) and then grind salt over them. I prepare them in a self made bag in the microwave. Very easy and delicious.

Old Bay on popcorn is amazing, I don't make it any other way anymore.

Garlic powder and the cheap parmesan cheese in the shaker. So good!
