Popping a bag of microwave popcorn at work, we got to thinking, “Is it naughty to eat semi-good-you semi-bad-for-you foods, such as microwave popcorn?”

Well sure, but not when compared with the bad boy of the popcorn world: movie theater buttered popcorn.  If ever a food were wearing a leather jacket, while sitting on a motorcycle and smoking, it’s movie theater buttered popcorn.

The popcorn that your mom warns you about.  The popcorn you know is bad.  The popcorn you know you want.  Want, because it says, “Rebel.” Want, because it says, “Total Bad Ass.” Want, because it’s says, “Oh so dangerous.”

Yep, movie theater buttered popcorn, what a punk.  Suddenly, mom invites microwave popcorn to dinner.  Now, that’s a fresh perspective that doesn’t need reheating.
