- Taste - the white is quite a bit sweeter and more pleasant than the yellow.
- Texture - the yellow popped up much fluffier than the white, and was less chewy. The white had by far fewer husks, but that is not enough to compensate for the compactness of the popped corn. I do plan to test again, though, since the volume of the corn once it was popped was far less than I was used to (and I know my popcorn pot pretty well). It may be an anomaly, but at this point, the yellow wins.
- Appearance - this is a draw: the size and shape of the yellow corn was much nicer, but the color of the white is better.
- Ease of Preparation - no appreciable difference.
Overall winner: close, but I'm choosing white by a small margin. I'll sure eat yellow if it's in front of me, though...

From my extensive research on popcorn (thanks to you getting my useless curiosity up), white is supposed to pop smaller. As for chewy, in popcorn parlance that's "tender"...
the word is "hulls" and that has nothing to do with white or yellow. That comes from the ... er... selective breeding or whatever they call bioengineering the old fashioned way.
sounds like it's all just doing what it's supposed to. What wins is purely a matter of your taste. Fuss away to your heart's content! Is popcorn like fine wine or cigars?
But hey, at least this time your mom responded to your call faster than your bandmates.
(Way to go, Darryl's Mom!)
No fair. Your MNB mates have a distinct advantage. I should get more than just 1 point for beating them out on the popcorn. I think it's worth at least 5. What do you think, Darryl? (Hint: next time you can request NIBs licorice Tehehe...)
You definitely score more points, Darryl's Mom. 5 or 10 for getting food through customs.
Actually, the little chick muled it...
ah ha. How thoughtful of her... :-)
Well, she had some help.
