Exactly as expected. I always worry about buying food items on eBay because you never know what the expiration date will be. This item was just produced three months ago and still has nearly two years until expiration. I’ve made two batches already and they both turned out perfect! I like how each serving is in its own sealed pouch. So easy to use! I use three tablespoons of vegetable oil and 2/3 cup of popcorn in a Whirley Pop popper on the stove. Once the first kernel pops add the packet of Glaze Pop. Yum!
