  1. Our way-old 80s giant microwave used to take 5 min to cook popcorn, so I got used to that growing up. Then one day in 2005 I used a commercial grade microwave at my workplace and out of habit set the timer for 5 mins, then walked away. Next thing I know the whole hallway is being filled with smoke as I aggressively barbequed an innocent bag of popcorn to death. True story. Seriously I should have known better. I mean, had I never used a modern microwave before? I guess not. Thick smoke lay all around me as I went to retrieve the burnt husk of popcorn that lay inside. All I wanted was a quick break yet here I'd caused this scene of total devastation. Brutal. It was a little embarrassing but I learned an important lesson that day - namely, that's it's not the friggin 80s anymore and commercial grade micros are even stronger than average ones so I should probably be careful with them. A valuable life lesson to be sure.

  7. At home now I've found 1 min 50 secs to 2 mins works best for me for the bagged popcorn I buy.
