Quote case of a consumer who developed lung disease from the fumes of microwaving popcorn several times a day for years. Title: Re: eat popcorn much?

"To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites; moderation is for monks." Title: Re: eat popcorn much? Post by: Spanky on September 05, 2007, 09:59:39 AM So I guess I'm safe. We only have about 800 people that work in this building and like half of them decide they need popcorn for a snack every day. Some of them decide they have to burn it too. [sm_disgust]

[sm_disgust] I've been at my job for 6 years and could probably count on one hand the number of days in that time someone hasn't burned a bag of microwave popcorn in the break room down the hall.

When we called the person back who called in the odor and told her what it was from she said "Oh I know, I was the one who burned it"

Thankfully, I've now moved to the other side of the building away from out kitchen. Title: Re: eat popcorn much? Post by: stroh on September 06, 2007, 05:23:07 AM Feck Orville Redenbacher !
