finding_onederland 226 Posted October 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted October 4, 2016 Burned microwave popcorn is one of the most heinous odors out there. Definitely termination-worthy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJC5197 282 Posted October 4, 2016 Funny I once had a VP that smelled that in our office once and posted a memo stating "No Odoriffic Foods Allowed" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gpmed 623 Posted October 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psvzum 81 Posted October 4, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted October 5, 2016 I've never known an office where microwave popcorn wasn't banned because of the stink. I wouldn't allow it at home either, never mind that I don't use a microwave and have no fondness for popcorn of any quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted October 5, 2016 pretty sure every bag says "do NOT use popcorn button". @@finding_onederland 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 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
