    I eat my popcorn plain, no salt or that crappy imitation buttery oil. :p

    What the fuck does any of this have to do with the nanny state? No one's proposing a ban on microwave popcorn. I'm anti-nanny state, myself. Let all the idiots of the world poison themselves with toxic shit. Fine with me.

    hmmmm. I'd be concerned about second hand popcorn popping if I were you.

    If you are leaving a job and hate the people you work with, a good -- but not criminal -- going away gift is to put a bag of popcorn in the breakroom microwave, set the timer for 8 minutes and walk out with your box of stuff.

    We have people microwave popcorn at my work on a fairly regular basis and I've never noticed the smell. (I don't eat much popcorn, so I've never done it at home).

    Do you also think that jalapenos are too bland? Did you grow up near power lines?

    Wait till they burn it. Then you'll notice.

    That may be the case re: burning it. As far as I know, they've not burned it. All I smell is popcorn, just like you smell at the movie theatre. And we don't have a stove, so I know they're microwaving it.

    So people are idiots because they like popcorn -- or a product that one doctor thinks gave one patient lung cancer?

    I only buy it without butter, but finding plain microwave popcorn is getting harder and harder. Look at the variety of butters in your store sometime: movie-theatre butter, light butter, homestyle butter, extra butter, pour-over butter, smart-pop butter, etc. Ugh.

    I'm not the only guy who still uses an air popper, am I? Not at work obviously, but when I'm at home, just pour the kernels into the popper and wait like two minutes. Way way way way way better than microwave popcorn. It's like filet mignon vs. tofu burgers good.
