Popcorn Smell!

So I absolutely love popcorn and have no problem working it into a healthy diet. I usually buy the stuff pre-popped in bags, but I could save money and calories by getting it unpopped. The thing is, I live with other people and I don't want to subject them to an entire house that reeks of popcorn! Am I doomed to the pre-popped bags forever or is there a way to make popcorn without--or even with less of--the smell?

Reeking popcorn?  What torture.  Do you not want to share, or has anyone actually complained about the offensive smell?  I don't think I've ever heard of anyone with that complaint.  Don't know what to tell you about this. 

Ha! I actually have an acute hatred for that buttered popcorn smell. I may well be the only popcorn-hating freak though. I would personally recommend buying plain popcorn without the butter flavor - it seems much less smelly to me - and then adding your own seasoning after the popping is complete. Or maybe pop by an open window?

No, I don't mind sharing, but my housemates are health/organic-nuts, so I doubt filling the house with chemical butter scent would get me on their good side. Does anyone know if air-popped popcorn has much of a smell?

Air-popped has a slightly whole-grainy smell? Its hard to explain. A tiny bit like sourdough bread. But hey, if they're health/organic nuts, plain air-popped corn is healthy! Because there's no chemical butter scent.

happened to me too

now i go outside to open them and everything is fine and dandy
