The moisture content of the corn has a big influence on popping. You can get too caried away with adding moisture and make the hull too soft and it will not hold enough pressure before it bursts and you don't get maximum volume. There is a "sweet spot" where volume is max. Less moisture and the yield is less. More water and the yield is less.
I have never tested the idea but suspect that yoiu don't want to mopisturize too large of a supply (beyond what you would consume soon) as the extra moisture promotes growth of both micro organisms and yo could sprount the corn.
Hey Egon, I like popcorn with Laura Scudders crunchy peanut butter as a topping. A tad messy but in the dark watching a movie, who will see you lick your fingers?
