What happens if you ignore the warning to only pop popcorn THIS SIDE UP

[derbstyron]

Will the microwave explode?
Will it taste even worse.

AND

What if I don't open it THIS END UP

I'm simply to big of a coward to try. :scared: :scared:

[nickgutierrez]

1. Upside down popcorn.

And believe me, nobody wants upside down popcorn.

[derbstyron]

14. Is that anything like that, "contents settled during shipping,"

crap that potato chip and other companies use as an excuse to jack me out of a full bag of Ruffles.

Maybe I'm misrembering, but I thought that when I used to buy a bag full of stuff as a kid I actually got a whole damn bag.

[havocmom]

2. probably won't pop

and it might be good to have a fire extinguisher handy if you go experimenting.

3. Your popcorn won't pop evenly . . .

or it might not pop at all.

Q: What happens if you pop a bag of microwave popcorn with the "this side up" side, up-sidedown.

A: We called ConAgra Foods, it makes Act Two microwave popcorn. And it says....the bottom of a microwave popcorn bag contains a reflector that helps the oil in the bag heat up faster and spread the energy evenly.

4. I really don't know the answers to your questions.

But now that I have posted on your thread it is doomed to die and you will never know.

[nickgutierrez]

7. I can't allow that to happen.

Those of us with special thread-killing powers must never speak of those powers in public, or they shall mysteriously vanish into the night.

Or something like that. :)

[Lilyhoney]

12. Damn! Did I type that out loud? n/t

[nickgutierrez]

13. No, you didn't.

In fact, I'm now forced to ask just what it is that you're on about. ;)

[Lilyhoney]

17. You wanna know what I am on?

A chair.

And I don't know anything about dead threads or being scared of the movie thread.

I wonder if they have any movie thread popcorn?

5. I've never had the guts to try

I once put tinfoil in my landlord's microwave. Really cool sparks and even some lightening effects and then the whole thing caught on fire.

My rent went up.

Khash.

6. Don't screw with Super Science

I suspect that you get fewer popped kernels or possibly burned ones.

[Kathleen04]

8. If you

open the wrong end, you risk burning yourself w/ the heated oil.

As for this side up, I really don't know..

[Radio_Lady]

10. Well, you have your answer from Conagra Foods -- m-m-m --

Large corporation = the truth?

Who knows?

Maybe they'd sell MORE popcorn if it burned regularly! But then again, you might have to pop it at the halfway house where you live, now that your house burned to the ground.

Please don't edit this for accuracy.

It's midnight and I'm not responsible for this post because it's tomorrow.

Goodnight,

9. Didja ever see pictures of Nagasaki?

[LastKnight]

11. 1 Word:

RAPTURE

[WCGreen]

15. The world, as we know it, will end...........

And never ever mix anti-pasta with regular pasta.....The horror, the Horror

[LastKnight]

16. tell me about it... Ramen with regular pasta... it sucks!

[WCGreen]

19. EWWWWWW

I was out of college before the Ramen craze took hold.....

[giant_robot]

18. OOOH! I've got to do that now!

Just like I've told my gf, I'm a scientist. My job is to be curious. Sometimes, we fuck with things just to see what happens. I think this popcorn thing will make an excellent experiment!

[derbstyron]

20. Careful!

I'm naturally curious.

I know nothing about computers but back when my ex and I were together I decided to "play" around in the registry file system to "see what would happen."

It was not a pretty sight.

We ended up having to get a new computer. :evilgrin:

[giant_robot]

21. Cool! You gained knowledge from an empirical experiment!

Now you know that registry files are not to be fucked with! True, there are easier and less expensive ways to gain that knowledge, but I applaud your application of the scientific method! :)

[Robeson]

23. Nothing better than scientific observation.....

...let us know how it turned out. I'm waiting... :popcorn:

[SoCalDem]

22. The earth tips on its axis, and we all drift off into space

Don't DO it :)
