Well, maybe the Subject line got your attention. I just wanted to
vent a little and warn others of this potential problem. My 2 year
old Whirlpool microwave oven started producing a burning plastic
type of smell. I didn't notice it at the time, but it was always
when we did a bag of popcorn.
[snip looooong tale of woe]
There's a very simple solution: stop using your microwave to make popcorn,
and
get one of these instead:

It will pay for itself rapidly with the money you'll save buying bulk
popcorn
instead of those stupid little microwave bags. And it does a waaaaaayyyyy
better job of making popcorn, too.
But what about that great chemical factory explosion smell from the fake
butter?
There is nothing that smells more like a locker room full of very stinky
gym socks than microwave popcorn. Absolutely revolting. IMO, of course.
