Whatever you use, don't use margarine. It is the worst for your body. Stays a solid in you unlike butter that mets when it gets warm outside. Butter spray is good or those pump sprayers and fill with whatever flavored oil you want.
 
The problem is that margarine was designed to be used in a skillet with high heat. When it gets cold or at 98.6*, it is a solid. So when you eat it, it becomes a solid in your body and not good for your health.
 
if you're feeling really crazy - Real butter, and dust some cinnamon and sugar on.
I usually have my popcorn dry (no butter or salt), but everynow and again...
 
I couldn't eat much oil or fat as a kid, it would make me sick, so I got used to it dry. I still think it tastes better without the butter, but only in the last year alone have I gotten the taste for buttering bread.

look at the back of a bag of popcorn kernels.. FTFM

take a small/medium pot with lid, put it on the stove turn on the gas... pour in vegetable or whatever oil and cover the entire bottom, about a half of a kernel deep. toss in 4 kernels. when they pop, pour in a 1/4 cup of kernels... swish them around. The hot oil will almost fry them to pop. let them start popping good before you shake the pot. Before they start slowing down, dump then in a big bowl and put salt on it. If it's dry, you did not put enough oil in. it's not dry this way.. not at all. Works best with yellow corn, white corn sucks

my grand father would put butter on bread and I would lick the butter off and hand it back to him for more butter.... this was long before my grand dad has his 1st heart attack... mom tells this story about me and why i like to butter stuff so heavily.

very true. One time my Scouts and I cooked it in a Dutch Oven with Olive Oil. Salt and pepper, after popping, and it was much better than butter.
