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

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
