And yet no one can make quality micro-wave popcorn anymore. They all taste like artificial waste and none cook well.
Sadly, even the quality of the hot air popcorn has degraded. But none has degraded faster or any worse than movie theater popcorn and popcorn at sporting events and theme parks. It’s a shame that something so easy to cook and get right, something so simple and joyous, can be so easily destroyed. I blame health nuts. Most of it is in the oil and processing… the rest is in preservatives.
While making food more convenient and last longer, which required more regulation, we have managed to destroy the very purposes and qualities of far too many of our foods. In the end… all that’s left… SPAM! SPAM, SPAM, SPAM and more SPAM.
And that, my friends, is the Monty Python reference of the week.

Careful - much longer and the popcorn will begin to burn!

How does everyone in the office know you left the popcorn in the microwave too long?

At least they can snack after the fire is out.

I’m actually always smelling burnt opocorn at the office. I can’t believe people actually like it that way.

Why is the fireman taking another cap off of the hydrant instead of holding the wrench on the valve on top so he COULD turn on the water?
just sayin’…

For that matter, it looks like the same hose. If it doesn’t go to the pumper, the stream will go about ten feet from the nozzale.
The big stiff hoses on the sides of the fire truck are to go from the plug to the pumper.

When Redenbacher started the company, he paid an advertising agency about $100K to develop a name. The decision: Orville Redenbacher.
