Personally, I like to get unflavored microwave popcorn, particularly white, as it pops up better than the flavored kinds... then I melt half a stick of REAL butter and... enjoy! ;)  Since I'm on Atkins, of course, it's the popcorn not the butter that is bad, but I'm not a big popcorn fan anyway, I might go through a whole 6-pack of microwave popcorn in a year. Maybe.

Hi, my name is bear...and I am a popcorn addict.

Status: offline 		Obviously popcorn eating should be regulated. There should be a $3.00/package tax added to all popcorn sales to offset the health cost exposure to the public. Why should I be exposed to second hand popcorn fumes?! It would be different if the people eating popcorn put the bag over their head as they eat it, but that open bag exposes me to the toxic aftermath of their filthy addiction.  
I plan on enforcing a popcorn free working environment and will only hire non-popcorn eating new employees.

Your post would be funny, except that a year from now some lawmaker will be repeating your words but actually meaning them.

Trust that you keep it locked up and away from any children. Just to be safe, maybe you should also have a lock on the microwave. Who knows what can happen if an innocent child picks up one of your unpopped kernel butts and decides to experiment.

People who put their kids in harms way, exposing them to 2nd hand popcorn fumes shouldn't be allowed to have children. If you have to feed your disgusting habit - do so outside.

(Just a silly thought but....the way you get out of this thing...is...a lung transplant.  Now I know it seems a little odd...but, truly...I have a pantry the size of most peoples living rooms....I like to wake up at 3 in the morning and have what I want...right fucking now...when I fucking want it.  Oreo's, Peanut butter sandwiches, Chicken Noodle soup, and of course...Popcorn.  I really like the fact that when I wake up at some obscure time...I can go get whatever I want...and not have to go through a scanner...and I have 27 boxes {which each have 12 microwave packages) of popcorn. And I can't eat any of them now).

They'll all cause lung cancer of some sort.

(I need a cigarette).
