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. Buttered small popcorn at the
theater has about 3000 calories.

I didn't think they used butter, just yellow flavoring. *Seriously.
Maybe art theatres use butter, or in expensive neighborhoods, but
gnereally I thought they didn't.

"At any rate, there is a reason why paragraps developed."

I only ask this since you felt a need to comment on the OP's grammar
skills:

What are "paragraps"?
