Shakeel conducted a science fair project to determine the best popcorn brand based on taste, price, and number of unpopped kernels. Jolly Time popcorn had the second best taste, was very affordable at two packets for $2.50, and is a good value. Act 2 popcorn had the best taste of the brands tested despite smelling slightly burnt when microwaved for 3 minutes and 40 seconds. It also had the second fewest unpopped kernels and was on sale for three packets for $5. Art Pop popcorn had the most unpopped kernels at 32 and was not a good value despite its low price, as Shakeel did not like its plain taste.
