You can find stylish and affordably priced glasses with prescription lenses for as low as $30. If you are interested in getting your hands on these amazing deals, I have included a link down below where you'll receive a discount off your purchase.

GlassesUSA is always my go-to source for finding the perfect pair of sunglasses and glasses that fit my unique style. Their Virtual Mirror tool allows me to try on different frames virtually before making a purchase. This feature has been a lifesaver for me, as I have tried countless pairs in the past without the ability to see how they would look on my face.

For today's video, I am excited to be experimenting with a Whirley Pop, which claims to make picture-perfect popcorn much like you would find at the movie theater. I found this gadget at Savers and paid $5.99 for it. It is a very lightweight pot with a double lid on here and inside. When you twirl the handle, a little spinner spins, keeping the popcorn kernels in motion while the pot is heating up.

I have heard rave reviews about this thing, but I am not a fan of unitaskers in general. I don't like machines or gadgets that only have one purpose. This purpose would be to make popcorn. However, I know that you can also make seasoned popcorns like kettle corn in this as well, so it's not totally a unitasker. We love popcorn around here, and I usually make it in this thing – and this is called a pot.

So, I'm gonna do a little side-by-side comparison to see if this is worth taking up real estate in my kitchen. First, I will follow the instructions on the Whirley Pop, which states that you should take a half cup of unpopped popcorn and pour it into the Whirly Pop. Next, I'll take the same amount of popcorn from my pot and measure out the same amount.

Now, let's start with the Whirley Pop. To begin, I will turn on the stove to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, I'll add a tablespoon of oil to prevent the popcorn from sticking. Next, I will pour in the half cup of unpopped popcorn and cover the top with the lid. As instructed, I will twirl the handle to activate the spinning motion that keeps the kernels in motion.

Now, let's do the same thing with my pot. To start, I'll turn on the stove to medium heat. Once the pan is hot, I'll add a tablespoon of oil to prevent the popcorn from sticking. Next, I will pour in the half cup of unpopped popcorn and cover the top with the lid. As instructed, I will stir the mixture every minute or so to ensure even cooking.

As we wait for our popcorn to pop, let's talk about my experience with both machines. For me, making popcorn is all about efficiency and convenience. I love that both the Whirley Pop and my pot can make delicious popcorn quickly and easily. However, when it comes to actual taste and flavor, I believe that they may differ slightly.

Once our popcorn has popped, let's pour out some of each and see how they compare. As we pour out the popcorn from the Whirly Pop, you'll notice that it pops every single kernel without any unpopped kernels left behind. On the other hand, my pot version had a few unpopped kernels, but this was not a deal-breaker for me.

Now that our popcorn has popped, let's do the final test: the kernel test. We will pour out some of each and count how many kernels are left over. As we pour out the popcorn from the Whirley Pop, you'll notice that there is only one kernel left behind – an amazing feat! On the other hand, my pot version had four kernels left over.

As I taste both types of popcorn, I have to say that they are pretty similar in terms of taste and flavor. However, if you don't have a Whirley Pop, you're still able to make perfectly good popcorn using your trusty old pot. While the Whirly Pop may be faster and more efficient, it's not necessary for making great-tasting popcorn.

Ultimately, I think that my decision comes down to personal preference and kitchen space. If you have a lot of kitchen real estate and are willing to dedicate one area to just popcorn-making, then by all means go for the Whirley Pop! However, if you're like me and need a multitasking, multipurpose pot that can handle more than just popcorn, then my trusty old pot is still the winner.

So two tablespoons of oil.Medium to medium-high heat. And, you just crank it.And we do this continuously until you start hearing popping.It's already sizzling.Let me show you some of that action.The pan is very, very thin. So, oh look, it's already popping. Holy smokes.Thirty-four seconds and about twenty more seconds to that, so it's been less than a minute.And I'm already hearing popping.Whoa!Okay! Okay!Okay, keeping turning.This is awesome!I'm feeling a little resistance.It says when you can't turn it anymore, and you stop hearing the popping, it's finished.It's getting hard to turn so I'm turning this off.Let's open this up. Oh, my goodness -- looks beautiful!Stop. That's a minute and 48 seconds. Okay.Whirley Pop says to allow this to cool for a little bit before consuming because then it won't be chewy.Right.Let's test it with a pot. And this is how I do it when we make popcorn every Friday night.All right, same thing here: half a cup of popcorn kernels;and two tablespoons of oil.One.Two.Put the lid on.So, while we're waiting for our kernels to pop let me tell you a little bit more about GlassesUSA.com.So I picked out these selection of glasses and I'd love for you to tell me what you think about them.I chose them using their tool they have on GlassesUSA.com's website.It's called the Virtual Mirror and you can try on any of their glasses.So I chose several pairs and I'd love for you to tell me what you think looks best.I've been looking for a good pair of round frames.What do you think about these ones?Kind of I.M.

There's that popcorn.Pretty identical.Alright, let's give the Whirley Pop a taste first.Here we go! Itadakimasu.Mmm.Lovely, lovely fresh popped popcorn.Granted, this has no butter or salt on it, but I love plain popcorn.Mm-hmm. Let's try the pot version now.Mmm.That's equally delicious, I would say.Light. Airy.A little bit squeaky.Nothing beats freshly popped popcorn, I tell ya.To me, the taste is pretty identical.I really don't taste much of a difference.I think the trick is, either way, is to pour it out of the pot very, very quickly.So it doesn't steam.Once you get it steaming then it gets kind of soggy.All right, let's pour the popcorn out and do the kernel test.So here is the pot version.Oops.And I don't have any kernels.Oh, here's one.One, two...Four.All right, let's pour it in here.And the Whirley Pop- I don't see a single kernel.That's pretty impressive.Not a single kernel.Amazing.Gadget works.It works faster, too.It was nearly twice as fast as the stainless steel pot,and that has to do, I think, with the type of pot. This is much, much thinner.It's able to transfer the heat much faster.I'd recommend doing medium heat rather than medium-high because it gets so hot so fast.It popped every single kernel -- I wasn't able to find a kernel,while in the pot version, I did find a few.I found four, but if you don't have a Whirley Pop, you're still able to pop perfectly good popcorn.I would say in terms of taste and flavor, I would say it's pretty similar.There were a few unpopped kernels in my stainless steel pot,but not so much that it's anything to complain about.I have a pretty small kitchen so I don't see myself giving up prime real estate for the Whirley Pop.It's pretty big. You could only cook popcorn or kettle corn in it.But if you make a lot of popcorn --if you have a palatial kitchen, then by all means,but for me, I think I'll stick with my multitasking, multipurpose pot.So there you have it.The Whirley Pot vs. pot.I hope you guys enjoyed that one.I hope you guys learned something.Big thanks to GlassesUSA.com for sponsoring this video.Thank you guys so much for watching.Share this video with your friends.Follow me on social media,see how you can win the Whirley Pop for yourself,and I shall see you in my next video.Too-da-loo.
