Microwaving non-microwave popcorn

Fir0002/Flagstaffotos

I had a friend tell me about this and I was skeptical, but I gave it a shot.

1.  I bought one of those 2 lb bags of normal, not microwave popcorn. (for $1.50!)

2.  I poured a handful of kernels into a very normal paper bag (I actually used one I got from a grocery store.)

3.  I put it in the microwave for about 5 minutes.  Within one minute, the popcorn was popping!

4.  Just like with normal microwave popcorn, when the popcorn started to slow down, I took it out.

Looks like normal popcorn, tastes like normal popcorn.

HAVE I BEEN RIPPED OFF ALL THESE YEARS BUYING "MICROWAVEABLE" POPCORN WHEN YOU CAN MICROWAVE ANY OLD POPCORN?

The sad, but true answer is, YES.

Please pass this on.  Let's expose this lie for what it is! :)
