I have not used any so far. And here’s why. Besides the added cost, the reviews of the many brands on Amazon are all mixed, some people love them, and some hate them. I am betting I would fall into the latter category. My Mother used to cook popcorn over the stove when I was a kid, and pour on real melted butter over the top. So that was my original intent also. But when I tried some real melted butter, my popcorn became soggy, and was way too oily and way too salty. You see, the coconut oil is already oily, and when you add in popcorn salt, it is already salty. So adding more oil and salt is just too much. I think any added buttery topping would be the same way. Right now, I think using just virgin coconut oil and popcorn salt make the perfect light and crispy best tasting popcorn right out of the kettle without adding anything else. But I will have to try one of those toppings some someday.

I don't use topping when I pop corn here at the house. The only time I use that is at a theatre and I haven't been to one of those in almost 2 years. When I was operating a chain of movie theatres we used ONLY a brand called Odell's SuperKist II buttery topping. After many taste test we thought it had the best taste.
Good luck!

We use Savory at our theatre. We've tried other topping oils but like Savory the best.

I was running out of coconut oil and Flavoral salt so I made a trip to my local concession outlet to purchase some more. I noticed they had in addition to my regular Flavoral salt, a green-carton containing a "more buttery" Flavoral salt. I decided to buy one carton of that to try.
MISTAKE!! I popped a kettle of corn tonight using the new "buttery" salt and I ended up tossing out the entire popping and re-popped with the regular Flavoral. Don't waste your time using the green carton. It might have just a "touch" more buttery flavor BUT the salt flavor is gone.

Movieman, try Morton Popcorn Salt (noniodized), comes in the familiar round blue container, 1lb 10oz, and see which you prefer, or if you can even tell the difference.
