- Where can I buy ACT II products?

- What is the shelf life of the product?
- ACT II Popcorn is good for one year after the manufactured date.
- Why does some of the popcorn not pop?
- Because microwave ovens heat unevenly, some kernels won't get enough heat to pop. As suggested on the package, you can elevate the bag on an inverted microwave-safe dish for better popping performance. Also for best popping volume, listen for when the popping slows to a pop every 2-3 seconds, then shut off the microwave oven.
- Why are some bags marked, “Not for individual sale”?
- ACT II uses generic bags, which are placed in printed overwrap for many of the items sold into the vending trade class. The printed overwrap provides the necessary UPC code and nutritional information, which must be found on a package for individual sale per FDA regulations. The generic bag inside the printed overwrap carries the disclaimer, “This unit not labeled for individual sale” because there isn’t a UPC code or nutritionals on the generic bag. All flavors of ACT II popcorn sold to the vend trade using generic bags have the disclaimer. It’s meant to protect both the vend operator and ACT II.
