Sometimes it helps to bitch about stuff

There's only one way to enhance popcorn and that is to butter it with real butter.

How is this done exactly? Do you use clarified butter for the popping or pop them in oil and add butter afterwards or what?

Butter on immediately after it's popped and salted. If you do the butter before the salt it tends to clump.

Oh, and use peanut oil for popping.

Ronja: flavors are chemicals. Cellulose is a chemical.

There is a bunch of products from the food industry that sound weird, but were still derived from food matter.

I don't object to them selling anything in particular, "natural" or "artificial" nor to people eating it, as long as it doesn't pollute my personal environment. I don't care if they sell popcorn in all the colors of the rainbow and a few invented ones to boot. I do object to the stuff smelling so strongly that neither me nor the kids wanted to go even into the vicinity of the sales area, and that we ended up wrinkling our noses quite a bit in the beginning of the film.
