How to store popcorn
To keep the popcorn as fresh as possible for as long as possible, store the popcorn in an airtight container with a lid. You don’t have to keep this in the fridge so on the counter or at room temperature is fine.
Although, I highly doubt that you’ll have any leftovers – because you’re going to want to eat it all!
