Microwave Popcorn



Recommended Posts

How hard is it to cook this properly without letting it burn and stink up the whole office? I am pretty sure every bag now says "do NOT use the popcorn button". I think this is grounds for termination.

Vent over. I feel better. :)

Burned microwave popcorn is one of the most heinous odors out there. Definitely termination-worthy!

Funny

I once had a VP that smelled that in our office once and posted a memo stating "No Odoriffic Foods Allowed"

You are singing the song of my people. There are people in my office who put the bag in the microwave and then go to the bathroom or back to their desk. Of COURSE it burns! You have to watch it and listen for the pops to come longer than a few seconds apart. Like the bag always says. DUH.

Horrible stench! And it lingers. I think it has to do with microwave wattage/power.

At home I hit 3.33 minutes for "fat free" Orville R. popcorn-full size bags. Perfection!

When I do the same thing in a hotel microwave, it burns. Stinks and sets off the smoke detector.

i luv, luv, luv my Orville Redenbocker Kettle Corn

but, it doesn't love me!!

bag doesn't say "do not use popcorn button"

never gets burned, tastes yummy

these past few months- i ate a lotttt of popcorn!!

100 calories a bag, big deal, not bad right?

WRONG (for me)so many carbs!!!

i don't always pay enough attention to carbs

i am pretty sure alllll the popcorn i ate (daily)

2 bags sometimes!!!!

contributed to my couple of added inches :angry:

popcorn is my main yummy that i can't control myself

like Lay's Potato chips, i can't just have one

i like to say, "knowing the problem is 1/2 the solution"

you can look and look

in fear of being shot

you won't find any popcorn in my house

that's my answer, and i'm stickin' to it

good luck

kathy

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
