Little Tales: Always Follow Directions
An older comic, but I thought it was particularly funny. Sometimes my humor falls flat, but this one I was kind of proud of.
And no, I haven't made microwave popcorn ever since
rancourt introduced me to the magic of DustyCorn. But it's still a funny joke.
It was actually rather hard to find an image of an atomic bomb mushroom cloud that was public domain but still LOOKED like a classic atomic bomb mushroom cloud.

Ah! all right. As a former cinema worker, I've popped literally hundreds (possibly thousands) of huge bags of popcorn (the giant bags that fill the popcorn warmers at the concession stand), so I can appreciate getting the theatre taste without the theatre price. XD
Well, at least the popcorn button's there. Funny story, there were kids in my high school whom I swear were purposely trying to set the school on fire with lunch. They'd put bags of popcorn in the microwave in the cafeteria and set it to twenty minutes (yes, twenty). We'd have to pull the bags out before they caught fire, and the culprit would always be out of the cafeteria before any teacher could take them to the principal's or student dean's office.
Makes you wonder why they put the popcorn button ON the thing.
My last job, there was some clown who apparently did his popcorn by putting it in the microwave and waiting until he could smell it from his desk... 500 feet away. The stench of burned popcorn got to be so bad, blown throughout the building by the AC, that we took turns laying in wait with the fat end of our pool cues to teach him the error of his ways...
Any chance of more details on what dustycorn is? A search doesn't find much but cats and people named some combination of dusty and corn...

Ah, so, misunderstood. Thought he introduced you to a pre-existing thing called dustycorn. :) (looks up 'flavacol', finds 50 pound can. Holy crap. :P )
I usually make plain Orville Redenbacher plain (unsalted, unbuttered), and melt some butter in the metal bowl I eat it out of, and toss it with some popcorn salt and black pepper. Love popcorn, but hate phony microwave butter food like substance. On the other hand, love the grease pumps they have at theaters. :D

Ever since I've moved up here, I've never used a microwave to pop popcorn. (My hippy-dippy Sister in law believes the contraptions kill all the nutrients in food.) So I make do by opening the microwave popcorn packets up and popping them in a pot with a teaspoon of oil. Sometimes the popped corn will lift the lid off the pot too. Other times I have ended up with beautiful, white popcorn on top, but a burned black kernel apocalypse in the bottom. I'm intrigued about using coconut oil though.
