Don't you miss the days where you could eat non-radioactive popcorn?

The above looks cool.


This, on the other hand, looks like a miniature death chamber. Ever put a raw egg, marshmallow peeps, or gerbils in there? It's not pretty. Especially if you accidentially rupture the outer plastic seal covering the metallic viewing grill. The side-effects are really cool too.

3. my dad popped corn in the same pan for twenty years

little oil,pop,and wipe the pan out with a paper towel-best popcorn ever.

5. Yup, I have a popping pan, too...

and I buy the large, cheap, bags or jars of popcorn. Had an air popper, but it disappeared years ago and I don't really miss it.

Never liked the Jiffy Pop sort of stuff, or the microwave stuff. It all tastes like baked paper.

12. I pop mine on the stove too

It is so much better than microwaved stuff. And you have to put real butter on it.

4. The magnetron on our microwave went out last week

So we actually made Jiffy Pop on the stove this last Saturday to eat while watching a movie. Estimate on fixing our built-in 4 year old microwave came in at $588.00 today. Looks like I'll be using a pan until we can afford a new replacement oven... :grr:

6. I have no Microwave

But I worry about the GMO corn ADM and Monsanto are getting people to gobble down, my little guinea pigs!

7. Jiffys are about the same price as microwave packets.

I don't like the fat in the mwave popcorn. We have a bowl thing that goes in the microwave and it works pretty well and no fat.

But... while microwaves are a form of radiation, just like light and ultraviolet light, it's not "radiation." There are no isotopes in a microwave.

8. Nuked peeps...

and AOL CDROMS can be spectacular.

There are whole websites dedicated to them.

[Deja Q]

11. Oooh, I know of a couple...

:evilgrin:

BTW: AOL CDs do nothing but give you brain cancer if you sniff the smoke they make. Only blue CD-R discs produce any cool effects worth watching and going infertile over.

9. I was just at Target tonight,

and they had a stovetop popcorn popper on sale. It looked kinda cool...

[pansypoo53219]

10. fuck that.

i use corn oil(it is pop corn), corn and a kettle. AND i make my own kettle corn. had some today. and have leftovers.

13. Not to bust your bubble, but it's not radioactive.

Yes, microwave ovens can and often do leak, but microwave radiation is not the same as gamma rays or decaying plutonium. Food that is microwaved doesn't become "radioactive". The minute the oven is turned off, the radiation stops. The food is simply hot. If it was radioactive, it would be dangerous to eat indeed.

[Kellis]

14. I never eat that kind

I always make popcorn on the stove.

[AngryAmish]

15. All matter (except for H) is radioactive

get over it

[JVS]

16. Jiffy pop always got burned to some degree

It was by far the most fun to watch popping, but it burned and didn't taste so good. Microwave is somewhat better. Airpopping is the way to go though.
