About Act II
Act II was the first microwave popcorn that did not need refrigeration, launched in 1984, which made the category possible at scale. Conagra sells it as the value option alongside Orville Redenbacher's. Earlier microwave popcorn used butter that spoiled at room temperature, so it had to be sold from chilled cabinets, which kept distribution small and costs high.
