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.

Don't eat popcorn, it's bad for you.

Absolute nonsense.

Buttered small popcorn at the
theater has about 3000 calories.

The problem there is the faux butter, not the popcorn. Popcorn is a very
low-calorie food.

That's why they have corn fed hogs I suppose.


Assuming this site is accurate (

, plain air-popped is pretty sin-free. You only get into the porker zone
if you polish off a family-size tub of movie popcorn with extra faux
butter by yourself. And even that was only 1640 calories, not the
claimed 3000 for a small bag.
