My wife and I decided we would have a comfy night in, with a bottle of wine, some chocolate and a good film. There is definitely something missing, we both thought, after a short time looked at her, she looked at me and together, we said, ‘Popcorn’.

After all what is a trip to the cinema or a home movie experience, without the popcorn? I’ll tell you, it’s no experience at all.

We decided that one of us had to delay proceedings, leave and go to a shop to buy some. We decided we would have a butter based popcorn and a sweeter one, so of I went in search of somewhere near, that could sell me the delights, we where looking for.

When I got back home, I had two bags of ready made, buttered and sweetened popcorn, two packets of quick microwave popcorn and a bag of corns you had to pop yourself. Which lot do you think we went for?

Actually we done the lot, but only because we lost interest in the film and started to bet on which popcorn, had the most kernels left, after we had eaten all the bits, that it was possible to eat without cracking our teeth.

What we eventually decided was it would be cheaper, more fun, even quicker to buy a kitchen appliance to do the job for us, or in layman’s terms a popcorn maker. Seeing as though I had just filled my face with popcorn and had already been out, I looked on the internet, there I came across Chumbadeals.com. I did not have to look far actually, because they had an offer on the first page of the site, for just what we were looking for.

The Presto 04820 Poplite Hot Air Corn Popper looked like a great machine. It’s not like the microwave, where you will set alight the bag, if you leave it in there for too long, the ready made stuff, that is basically too sickly, and you don’t have the hassle of wrecking a sauce pan doing it by yourself, with kernels that can take an eye out.

Buying a kitchen appliance that everyone in the family can use, is not just fun when you want to sit and have a movie experience, its good if you want the kids to do something for you as well. Only kidding there, but it is fun, safe and clean.

We’re getting one and having a look to see what else on Chumbadeals and other sites, can do to make our lives just that little bit easier.
