NEWS: Too Much Microwave Popcorn Can Kill You FYI

And if you add salt to the oil before you pop it, it tastes even better.

I haven't made popcorn in ages. I might have to remedy that tonight.

I dunno. I had to try like, 40 times before I could pop popcorn in a pan properly (woo alliteration!) Then again, I was using a little soup kettle which probably wasn't ideal. I had to scrape a lot of greasy burned junk out of that soup kettle.

Of course, the only microwave popcorn I can find without milk products in it is Black Jewel Natural, which has no butter flavor anyway. I'm safe either way!

My company got a "visit" from the CDC this week because we make artificial butter flavor. Good times.

they won't outlaw it, they'll just require that everyone given to eating microwave popcorn sign a waiver of liability, wear a gas mask, and tell their health insurance provider.

luckily my body decided it can't digest anything made from corn anymore.

The only way to go. We eat a couple of kettlefuls a week.

I really can't stand microwave popcorn.

I wonder about people that work in movie theater concession stands...They use that crap in movie theater popcorn too.

Also, I wonder if this is what I react to when I eat micro/movie theater popcorn.

When the story about that guy came out a couple weeks ago, it was reported that he ate several bags a day. Interesting that reports now are saying it was only two.

It may not be that hard, but it's certainly trickier than putting a bag in the microwave for two and a half minutes.. I'm also dubious about it tasting better - certainly my popcorn popper produces popcorn that even liberally dosed with butter didn't taste nearly as good as microwave and/or theater popcorn. (Well, fresh theater popcorn, which isn't very easy to come by.).

And microwave popcorn smells like shit...

Well, sure, for someone whose tastebuds are no doubt accustomed to caviar and filet mignon.

I like the smell of microwave popcorn. I also like the odd little burned bits that I find in there sometimes... but then I'm one of those who likes to burn my roasted marshmallows too.

Fuck! I was just eating a bag of popcorn about an hour ago, I can almost feel the poison now...

See, I was looking for a more technologically-advanced option. The whole "still?" thing made me think that was where you were going with it.

Meh. Gotta die of something. Looks like my popcorn-eating, beer-swilling ass'll die of popcorn lung and liver failure.

I used to think that way. Then I decided it is the other way around, shit smells like microwave popcorn.

I know in my head that this is true, but nonetheless, my teeth and tongue still loves them some filet mignon.

If it isn't the little piece of kernel skin that gets stuck at the back of your throat, it's the artificial butter flavoring... Who knew it could cause bronchitis! I guess we can now enjoy the buttery flavor twice, once when you eat it, and twice after you hack up a lung from coughing. Mmmm, yummy lung butter.

Personally, I don't trust a God damn thing that Conagra, Altrea, et. al. makes. Do yourself a favor and stop eating their crap! Go and shop organic from a local farmers market or at trusted grocer who doesn't stock processed foods full of shit that will kill you.
