Don't get me wrong - I love microwave popcorn too! Have you ever looked at the ingredients, though? Kinda ruined it for me

I'm gonna say there was a recognized condition with a name like "popcorn lung" or some such. Likewise going off of memory. I should probably google it.

Oh yes. Yes I do.

EDIT TO ADD:

Right on about the Missouri popcorn plant. Then later found by some, but not universally, to be a problem for heavy consumers of butter-flavored microwave popcorn.

Picked up at the 99c store once microwave pork rinds, they are packaged and cooked like microwave popcorn (although the cook silently). Interesting experience. But not worth 99c/pack to continue experiencing.
Oh, so are you saying Jiffy Pop not good enough for ya?

I think the phrase you're looking for is "Black Lung, Pop"

I need to find out if I can mail order Yoder microwave popcorn. That stuff is the best.

The microwave popper works pretty well too and then you can season it as you like. I like garlic salt and cumin

I found this sriracha powder at the Grocery Outlet that is great on popcorn. My son likes to shake straight-up MSG on his popcorn.

Really I love nothing better than cheesy popcorn (that third of the christmas tin always disappears fast). I've tried a grocery store cheesy shaker, but it's not the same.

I throw my leftover pizza in bread wrappers; keeps everything in and it's re-using it.

As for popcorn, I use the old pot-and-stove technique. It's noisy, but tastes great, once I drizzle in melted butter and toss with nutritional yeast (tastes cheesy)/Tapatio powder/salad seasoning/whatever interesting herb blends I found at the natural foods co-op's bulk spices section.

I remember Alton Brown has a recipe for homemade microwave popcorn; I'd be happy to find it if anyone's interested.

I'm not really a popcorn eater (loved Cracker Jack as a kid though), but I've heard the hot air method (I think it was in Consumer Reports) does the best job of popping consistent popcorn with less unpopped and/or burnt kernels.
