I have wanted to add to the great popcorn collection for a while. I found several different skittle popcorn recipes and thought I do something for the Fourth of July. Well skittles doesn't make blue or white normally.
After I bought two bags of skittles at one store I found skittles Fourth of July mix but only in small bags, then at the supermarket I found the big bags.
Course after I have my son separate them, I forgot to take pictures of the bag, but you get the idea.

You need about 10 cups of pop corn per color/flavor
Note: if you want white for forth of July it is better to pop the pop corn the old fashion way rather than use microwave.
1/2 cup of corn kernels will make enough
Pick out any unpopped kernels
