A few months back, I bought myself a popcorn popper -- one of those that's basically a hotplate and a stirrer. That is, not an air-popper. I was a little concerned with my transfat intake from the microwave popcorn, and air-popped popcorn -- well, I might as well eat packing peanuts.

Other than the cleanup, which is not bad, but still worse than just throwing a bag away, I love the thing.

Not too long ago, I ran out of popcorn, but I still had a few bags of microwave popcorn around, and I was jonesing, so I popped it up. I ate one piece and threw it away, along with the other few remaining packets. It was foul. I can't imagine how I ever ate it. Weird how your body does that. I suppose that meshes with our recent coffee thread.
