The freezer gave the best popping results with over 14.2 cups of perfect popcorn. The kernels also appeared to be fluffier, and there was more popcorn to eat (2.4 more cups than the popcorn that was stored in the refrigerator). There was less waste (unpopped kernels) with the popcorn that was stored in the freezer (only 1/3 of a cup compared to 2/3 of a cup from the refrigerator. ) I also found that the popping results were very inconsistent and varied from package to package although stored under the same conditions. There were also many times when I got more unpopped pocorn than ones that were actually popped.
