Having been watching a few movies lately i thought last time i went on a shipping trip that i should get myself some microwave popcorn to have because as everyone knows movies are always better with popcorn.

All I can say is that the warning bells should have been going off when i finally tracked down the microwave popcorn next to the hardware since as we all know food and hardware should usually be left seperated from each other except maybe in certain TV shows but thats just tv, it shouldn’t be happening in my local supermarket, even if a little hick.

So that fateful time came to make the popcorn and i followed the instructions by unwrapping and unfolding the bag with the popcorn inside the microwave and set the microwave settings. It whurred and before long there was the sound of popcorn popping steadily and the sight of my dog hiding from the popping sound under te table thinking … well i’m not sure what he was thinking but he was hiding under the table from the noise.

Meanwhile all was not well in my microwave, sure the popping sounded positive but unknown to me the popcorn was burning - smoke was starting to come from the microwave and i noticed just in time to see the bag catch alight. It goes without saying that popcorn is not my friend.
