Seasoning suggestions for popcorn? (beehaw.org)

I eat popcorn fairly often and I was wondering if I can improve on the taste with minimal effort. Do you guys know any good mix I could use instead of salt alone?

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.

The movie theaters use a product called flavacol. You can buy it online if you want “authentic” movie theater popcorn.

Flavor is the secret ingredient. Sprinkle a bit over the kernels immediately after dropping them in the oil and it’ll get incorporated with the popcorn as it pops.

I bought a carton of it from a restaurant supply store a while ago and it's magic how it can flavor fresh popped corn.
