Microwave Popcorn Incredible Rip-off! Secret Snack Recipe Revealed!

I cannot believe this! Microwave popcorn is an incredible rip off.

Here's the secret microwave popcorn recipe that THE MAN doesn't want you to know. Put regular old popcorn in a bag, fold the bag over a few times and put it in the microwave. Listen for the popping to slow and ta-dah! You've got microwave popcorn.

You can make it for less than TEN CENTS a BAG!

The bag of popcorn I bought has about 25 servings for $1.49. The 50 bags were $1.99 at Ralph's.

To make 50 servings I'd have to buy two bags of popcorn. Total cost $4.97 for 50 bags. Less than a dime damn it! Less than a dime a bag!!! I can't believe this conspiracy exists.

You can flavor your popcorn and buy salt and stuff. What does a few shakes of salt cost a penny? I just sprayed mine with some fat free butter spray stuff that I use to cook with and shook on some powdered cheese ($1.79 for 28 servings) and had an amazing low-cal, low-cost snack.

There are even popcorn seasonings you can buy for $3 bucks and stuff. Cheap lowcal snacks. It's what every struggling artist needs. That and health insurance. I am so not joking about this. I cannot believe we've all been suckered all these years.

Consider this your holiday gift from me to you.

IMPORTANT WARNING: I have just been informed that brown paper bags can catch fire in the microwave. (Thank you, Chuck!) I've made three bags so far (on high for about 2 minutes) and have yet to have anything catch on fire, but use this secret recipe at your own risk. And you can't sue me because I don't actually have any money. But now there's a new added "SUSPENSE" to making microwave popcorn, too. For only ten cents a bag you get danger and a tasty snack. Whatta bargain!

Brown paper bags, especially ones with printing on them, were not designed to be used in a microwave, especially at the high heat that is obtained in popping. Besides the unwanted vapors, the bag may catch fire. The best to use, if you do not want to use microwave bagged popcorn, is a Pop-O-Pot, a clay pot specifically designed for the microwave and popcorn. You can find them on the net.

My dad used to this when I was a kid until he set the kitchen on fire.
That was a fun day; watching my drunk dad put out a fire he in his underwear. My childhood ruled.

I think this also works in a microwave safe dish like corning ware. If you don't know what corning ware is ask an old person.

suck it, the man.

Orville Redenbacher: Delicious and deadly?

You never know when someone’s going to save your life. One day you’re just minding your own business, when suddenly someone shoves you out of the way of the proverbial bus. So if you’re a lover of all things warm, salty and kernel-based, this is your warning.

Your savior is a man who calls himself “Orville Red.” Last year, a bag of Mr. Red’s beloved Smart Pop caught fire, ruining his microwave. Mr. Red asked for a new microwave. What he got instead was a $30 gesture of “goodwill.” With his compensation denied, Mr. Red did what any aggrieved consumer would do: He brought his case to the people…

OrvilleRedenbachersux.com is Mr. Red’s magnum opus. The result of “a year of frustration, conversations and general disregard for corporate responsibility” on the part of Redenbacher-brand owner ConAgra.

“The broader purpose is to warn people that they can’t put popcorn bags in their microwave and not monitor them,” says Mr. Red. “Your house or dorm room could burn to the ground.”
Which all sounds a bit funny until you realize we’re dealing with ConAgra, producers of salmonella-infected Peter Pan, E. coli-infected ground beef and, worst of all, Slim Jims (shudder).

Could exploding popcorn bags be its next big-money lawsuit?

I bought a plastic Jar of Orville's pop corn and was very disappointed to see on the bottom of the plastic was bowed upwards to give you the illusion of more pop corn than what there was,
I hate when company's do thing's to rip me off,
I will now never buy this brand of pop corn and will tell every one I see about this, check it out for yourself, this should be on the top of your blog, tell every one you know, I only bought it cause I wanted Quality pop corn, I did not feel it was but finding the deceit was the icing on the top!!!
