Snack Size Does Not Equal Fun Size

What do you get when you cross a teenager with a snack-size bag of popcorn using a microwave that has only one "popcorn" button for regular size popcorn bags?

First a near-fire of sorts as the bag and all its contents burn, burn, burn. What's the point of shutting off the microwave if the timer hasn't gone off?

Second, you walk into a house late Friday night and it smells like burnt popcorn.

Third, you take the garbage out the next day and the house still smells like burnt popcorn.

Fourth, you run the diffuser with air freshener on maximum setting for three days ... and the house still smells like burnt popcorn.

Fifth, everything you microwave smells like burnt popcorn.

Sixth, just 72 hours later.... you guessed it... you get a new microwave...

with THREE popcorn settings! And the first thing you do is show your teenage son how to make popcorn!

Good thing we've been considering getting a newer, bigger microwave for some time now. So even though our hands were forced a bit, I am sure we'll like it. It was time.

Anybody need a used microwave? For FREE? It works. It just, well... smells like burnt popcorn!!
