Act II Microwave Popcorn
Not too shabby, and much better than no snack, I'd say. What's your favorite? :popcorn:

1. We don't have a microwave.
When I make popcorn, I make it the old-fashioned way: a little oil in the bottom of a bit pan, get it sizzlin', then dump in some popcorn. :)

:hi: BikeWriter!

2. I've made many a batch like that, myself.
It is better, if you feel like cooking it. :hi:

6. No problem, Sweety! Lots of people don't like them...
The one thing I am most intolerant of is intolerance.

7. It's not that I don't like them.
It's that Switzerland is a very small country; consequently, I don't have enough counter space for a microwave. :rofl: (I don't know anyone here who has a microwave. :shrug: )

4. So how do you pop your microwave popcorn?
Hair dryer?

:rofl:

I make it the old-fashioned way when I want to make some chili-flavored popcorn. I like Orville Redenbacher for my microwave popcorn, the chedder flavor preferably.

5. It's really a bummer, krispos.
Without a microwave, how am I supposed to boil water? :cry:

11. WHEN YOU BUY ACT II, YOU'RE SUPPORTING BUSH!
ConAgra, who make Act II and Orville Reddenbacher, was one of the big pseudo-sponsors and supporters of The Path To 9/11, and referred to concerned voters as a "special interest group" that they didn't want to deal with.

NEVER buy popcorn from them.

13. I'm a fan of PopSecret 'Home-Style'
Just the right amount of yellow grease butter and salt, and pops about 99% of the kernels. :9
