This really isn't a question, just a suggestion to quit using/eating unhealthy microwave popcorn. Take a small paper bag, like a lunch bag, put in a handful or two of unpopped popcorn, the kind you buy in the l or 2 pound bags. Put in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes (until it stops popping). Use I Can Believe It Isn't Butter spray (no calories) and a little salt. Yummy. Healthy and no fat and hardly any calories. Good for diets when you need a munchie.

Someone asked if it was a fire hazard. Yes it could be if you leave it in too long. Just like regular microwave, the bag will burn if left in too long, so be careful.

Isn't that a fire hazard?

Thanks! I just read somewhere there is some chemical in the bags for microwave popcorn that is carcinogenic, and was wondering how to pop the plain kernels. I think I will make a mixture of butter / lime juice / chili powder to put on it, but just a little!

Thanks SO much for that suggestion! I am a total popcorn aficionado so that made me very happy to read! I stopped eating microwave popcorn some time back but it is so nice to read something about how to make it a healthier snack.

Wow! That's a really good idea!!!! I LOOOOVE popcorn, but cannot stand the low fat stuff in the microwaveable bag. I don't even like microwaveable popcorn. Sounds delicious! Thanks!
