I’m calling foul on microwave popcorn since it’s a reeking wallet rip off.

Doing the mathy math, microwave popcorn costs around $22.65 for 12 boxes with 3 packets per box (source Amazon) — that’s an eye-popping $3.53 per pound!

Sure, you may think you’re paying all that delicious cash for a magic metal-lined bag that pops better kernels and cooks your corn more evenly. But think again. I can do the same popping magic trick with a cheapo plain brown paper bag. And at a tasty 50 cents per pound, plain popcorn kernels bought in bulk cost FAR less than that slimy packaged stuff.

I tried this long time ago and toasted the bag. Perhaps this is worth a re-do? Sure, why not?

Seems like too much trouble. Why not just put the kernels in a pot with some oil and pop ´em that way?

Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
