I'm from the internet, and I'm here to stop that sweater.

You can always do it the old fashioned way on a pan with a little bit of oil though.

@TransitionModz Nickel pincher simply means gaining the most value from each nickel spent. The Jewish community have a reputation for wise use of money and so the term "Nickel pincher". Some people use this in a demeaning manner. As an insult. Nickel pinching should not be confused with being greedy and ungiving, although it sometimes is misunderstood in this way :(

I make homemade microwave popcorn the same way you do. I use a large lunch bag, one half cup of kernels, and microwave it for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. All microwaves are different so times will vary. Not only is this a cheaper way of making microwave popcorn, its healthier. Other types of microwave popcorn are loaded with cancer causing agents.

She complains about "Over packaging" on the bag popcorn so she buys kernels in a plastic container... a PLASTIC container... When you burn plastic it emits foul gasses into the atmosphere
