Toshabi Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Fuck you 7-11 and fuck your microwaves and fuck your employees. That one dollar bag of popcorn cost me HALF my savings, just to watch it go up in flames because the asshole employee told me 2 minutes would be enough. Bye bye bag of popcorn and hello shirt that smells like burnt popcorn. Now I want to eat my clothes and so do all the homeless people that live here.

DrGravitas Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I hate when people in the office make popcorn in the breakroom. They either do fine and leave me salivating for an hour, or burn it and make the whole floor reek. The worst, most awful smell though was this one time somebody on a different floor put leftover fish in the microwave for 3 MINUTES. The stench was so powerful, it travelled across floors and lingered for the rest of the day. I hear the project near ground zero evacuated. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopaw Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The only thing worse than the smell of burnt popcorn is burnt hair. Did you get them to reimburse you afterward? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosha Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 There is no greater disgrace than burnt popcorn. I love eating popcorn as a snack because it's simple to make and tastes good. Burnt popcorn is dry and tastes like smoke and makes the butter taste like grandpa's ashes. It diminishes the great name that is popcorn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feelwell Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Burnt popcorn doesn't smell the worst, tbh... But then again popcorn is low-tier snackfood anyway. Full disclosure, it's not tasty, filling, satisfying or even healthy. I'd rather have a serving of boiled corn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Obviously this happened because you didn't take Popcorn Preparation 670 in college. :V But seriously, getting popcorn just right can be a pain in the ass. Even with our state-of-the-art microwaves it's still easier to do on a campfire. It takes more time, granted. But it's easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revates Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Next time, march right back in there, look them in the eye and demand another popcorn,continuing to try until you're satisfied with the level at which your popcorn has been popped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cingal Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 But, seriously. I hate the smell of popcorn. I don't even like it as a foodstuff, but, the smell is awful. Especially burn popcorn. Just seems to stick around for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augmented Husky Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ahhh yes the every day horror of food that turned out entirely unlike how you intended The solution of course is to set your expectations low in the first place so that it's not to easy to disappoint yourself :V 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysocyon Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 When I worked in a convenience store, I had a co-worker that bought a bag of popcorn, put it in the microwave for the time recommended in the instructions, and burnt the hell out of it. They then bought another bag, put it in for significantly less time... and still burnt the hell out of it. The smell of burnt popcorn lingered for the rest of the evening.

U-235 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've managed to cook popcorn using a bunsen burner. It was fun until the bag spontaneously ignited. We threw it in the sink and it blew up sending a combination of burning popcorn and extremely hot kernels everywhere. Somehow no one was hurt at all. Still kind of amazing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Lion Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Burnt popcorn sucks. Sucks twice as hard when you put a bag in the microwave and half the kernels are burnt and the other half are unpopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 At the theater, we have a newer popper that cooks really fast. When the top opens up you are supposed to turn off the kettle heat and let the batch finish popping, as this allows for most of the seed to pop without posing a burning hazard. However, barely anyone actually does this, and most leave the kettle heat on and dump it once it starts beeping. The problem is, once the popper is beeping, it is already too late and the popcorn has a risk of burning. There's nothing like the smell of burnt popcorn filling the lobby.
