So I google it.... Found this
They're bringing it back and already the tools are at it:
Has anyone notice that the two biggest movie theatre chains are changing the oil they pop the corn in to one hundred percent coconut oil. I'd love to start a public uprising against a weeks worth of saturated fat on a popcorn, like 8 big macs and lots of other crazy terrible comparisons. Yeah coconut oil is almost pure saturated fat, the bad kind, for everyone, not just health nuts. Would you eat popcorn if you knew it was a weeks worth of recommended saturated fat, and that's before you put the butter on it. Most theaters use half corn oil and half coconut, they misrepresented the facts back in 94 when they stopped using pure coconut oil, telling us they're using vegetable oil. well what's new big corporations misleading the public. anyway check your local theater, turns out only the landmark uses a worthy oil, the rest are using half coconut and about to change to full coconut. of course this is all before you put the butter on. and since the theaters are making 90 cents on a dollar of popcorn, don't you think they can afford a decent oil? and oh yeah it tastes pretty good in coconut oil, but i'm boycotting now that I know. It would be healthier if they cooked it in beef fat, can you imagine that?
Educated reply:
Coconut oil is a medium chain triglyceride fat which isn't processed by your liver and is the healthiest saturated fat you can eat and I cook all my food in it, not even canola or vegetable oil. (Descriptive explative removed) #@rofl3
