in case you were wondering...

It is entirely possible to start a fire in your microwave.

1. pop a bag of popcorn for breakfast.
2. do something else while it is popping.
3. return and stare at the horrific amount of smoke pouring out of the microwave.
4. open windows and turn on the fans.

The saddest part is, that was the last bag of popcorn, and I am still really craving popped goodness :(

Bummer. My parents' foreign exchange student fried a bag of popcorn, and their microwave turned yellow inside and reeked of fake butter for months. :( My mom's a huge fan of making "homemade" microwave popcorn by using a thick paper bag, popcorn kernels, oil, and salt. I haven't tried it yet.

Oh the awful smell that must have poured out of your microwave. It takes forever to rid the smell of burnt popcorn.
