In beautiful music building at my university, where I spend the majority of my time, there is an individual who pops popcorn in a public microwave. They are not a music major and they just use the building to work remotely. They burn the popcorn. Every. Time. And the decrepit smell of burnt popcorn is wafted through the beautiful, peaceful building. I never had a reason to rant about this.

[@AshChiCupcak]

Now I'm wondering did that dude just like burnt popcorn, cuz personally, once I burn it, I can't eat it. Flavors ruined. Hard to think he just goes there every day to waste a bag a popcorn. I'd be leaving a note suggesting they take it out 10-15 seconds earlier so everyone isn't saturated in burnt popcorn smell for the rest of the day.

[@northstarjakobs]

This is insano behavior, truly. My only logical explanation would be that this individual likes burnt popcorn, but I cannot possibly imagine that, so I just have to assume that this person just has never learned how to microwave popcorn properly

[@frightenedsoul]

I imagine some genius professor from the basement of the oldest building who’s been on sabbatical for a decade and is rumored to have lost his mind years ago doing experiments with the microwave in order to save the world

[@nyct0phile]

ive heard people do that on purpose because they are smoking and the smell of burnt popcorn is so overpowering it makes the smell

[@DaNintendude]

My grandma loves popcorn and she would always burn it. I very strongly remember the smell of burnt popcorn in her car during long car rides when we'd go camping and such. I'm pretty sure she just prefers burnt popcorn to normally popped popcorn. I don't really get it, but there's no way she didn't know it was burnt.

[@seleniebeanie]

As someone who also LOVES popcorn, you haven't lived until you've made popcorn on the stove. I'm not talking Jiffy-Pop. I'm talking about getting the kernels and putting them in a pot with some oil on the stove. I've never had microwave popcorn again. If you REALLY want to live, you have to try specialty kernels - Red, Purple, Blue, Mushroom, and Caramel kernels are my favorite.

[@MrJackets]

Mushroom-

[@amandatyler]

Came to the comment section say this, glad someone beat me to it! Popcorn is my favorite snack too and it is SO much better (better for you and better tasting!) when you get the kernels and pop them in a pot in the stove 🔥

Would have made much more sense to use the exact same times for all and then count the kernels for sure loool

[@vivex9617]

If your microwave has a humidity sensor, the popcorn button will always be your best bet. The reason most popcorn bags have "Do not use popcorn button" on them is because the popcorn producer doesn't know what kind of microwave you have and they don't want you to get a bad impression of their popcorn from user error. If you don't know whether your microwave has a humidity sensor, you can try the popcorn button, if it asks you for the weight or size of the bag, it just has some pre-programmed timers that aren't worth using. Technology Connections has a surprisingly interesting video on microwaves and the popcorn button if anyone is interested, thats where i found this out from.

Scott out here taking Skinny Pop to task and letting the world know the scoundrels they really are.

[@Falcodrin]

If you don't eat unpopped popcorn and skinny pop had lots of unpopped popcorn isn't that just bonus skinny?

[@SarahCoh]

It’s 30 cals for a POPPED cup in Skinny Pop, so the whole bag is 75 cals. Popcorn bags unpopped have a lot more calories in them (like 5x as much), which is where the 375 calories that Scott mentions comes from. So the calorie intake for all of these is probably way less than Scott is saying. We still love you, Scott!

[@foxbuns]

*Perfect Popcorn Recipe:* 1. Pour a little oil in the pot; 2tbsp for every 1/3 cup kernels. 2. Set to medium heat (around 4-6 depending on your stovetop). 3. Put 3 kernels into the oil, and put the lid on. 4. In a few minutes, the kernels will begin to pop, and it's time to add in the rest of the popcorn (this means the oil is ready). 5. Moving the pot around occasionally, wait for all of your kernels to pop. 6. When done popping, pour into bowl. Salt & season immediately while they are still slightly wet with oil (this helps the seasoning stick).

[@42crazyguy]

It's not perfect because you said to use oil instead of butter.

I recommend coconut oil, super good. Right before I add the bulk of the kernels, I add butter. If you use nothing but butter, itll burn as it comes to temperature to pop the kernels.

Also you couldn't order things online back then so it was, like this, just whatever brands they sold at our local stores lol I loved it bc there was popcorn at all times for days and I didn't have to do any of the work 😂 Edit: damn looks like pop secret is still on top lol noice

I did a science fair project about microwave popcorn in elementary school! Basically we got a bunch of different brands from the store (the only ones I remember were Orville Redenbacher, Pop Secret, Newman's Own, and generic store brand) and I think there were three times we tried, to best control for popping time, and we just wanted to see which brand left the fewest kernels.

Many many brands and flavors! I Butter/salty being srandard, and then maybe kettle corn (sweet) coming in second. Then there's also the unflavored kernels for stove-top or air-popping. And pre-popped popcorn in bags. I would also remember corn is literally from North America, so it's a native food/really important part of our diet. Also it's just normal in the US to have WAY too much variety of one thing, cereal being the prime example. Grocery stores literally have an aisle (or one side of an aisle) dedicated to cereal here. I lived abroad for a while and American grocery stores were really back overwhelming when I came back! Like, why does one need to choose between so many options?

As someone who loves but may be allergic to some microwave popcorn ingredients, this was strangely cathartic 🤣

I love that you did this video, i just recently discovered the craziness that is popcorn calories and how freaking confusing they are! Im glad to know im not alone!

[@ShotzRox]

Those half popped kernels from the black jewell bag are definitely some of my favourite parts of the popcorn to eat. Someone needs to make them a snack, half popped kernels. I'd buy, they're so good!

[@Xxsoda_drinker_pro_fanxX]

I’m also a half-popped popcorn fan! Maybe I should try the black jewel popcorn soon!

[@rachel0982]

They do! Halfpops & ZeeZees make some. TJs used to have some that I loved that supposedly was made by Halfpops.

[@amiezwag]

Thoroughly enjoyable considering I'm not in the popcorn industry, myself 🤩🤩🤩 Nice note to Austin at the end there 🙏❤

[@thecarloso113]

I dunno why, but now I have de urge to pop myself some popcorn. Damn you Scott, you win again :(

[@vaughncitrone148]

Everytime a new Scott Cramer video drops my day is 100x better

[@tammyn1775]

technology connections has a good video on the existence of the popcorn button and the number unpopped kernels at the bottom of the bag i believe is dependent on the moisture within the kernels itself

[@heatherduke7703]

Yeah, I grew popcorn and first you had to let it dry. Then if it wasn’t popping well, you needed to sprinkle some water in the storage container That’s also what I would expect from that black popcorn. It’s probably from heritage breeds of popcorn so it’s not going to pop as well

[@heavenly2k]

I love how Scott literally never talks about stuff that stresses me out. Like I love video essays about politics and civil rights and social issues, but sometimes I just need a completely inconsequential video.

[@maliabantz6902]

With the amount of kerns left in microwave popcorn, I am a forever airpop popcorn person.

[@ShoraiKiri]

I love these "Exposing Industry" videos and this one was amazing! But can we also talk about those Cramer Games shirts... 👀 I'm so hyped! I saw Greg wearing his and thought it could be a sign... then Scott had a new one at the end of the video.

[@xandercruz900]

Weirdest freaking thing. I just made a bag in the microwave and was frustrated because I can never get the timing right. Either burning it or not getting enough kernels to pop.

[@notoriousstrikes4284]

The tip is to wait until the time between pops is a second. I feel like that made Scott's kernel rating a little erratic 😂

[@1silenthunder1]

I was having that issue so I started writing the times down and slowly figured out the time I needed for it to be the perfect pop. Just sucks if you ever have to replace the microwave, or switch brands cuz then it’s meaningless lol

[@alexamuhlach9951]

Scott, I just want to say thank you. As someone with a boatload of mental health disorders and is going through a lot of shitty situations at the moment, your channel remains one of the safest places in the world to me. We’re from very different places with very different cultures but your cozy and positive vibes are transcendent. Thank you for making me feel like the smallest things are worth living for. You will forever be one of my favorite people on this planet.
