The button on the microwave turns the user into popcorn, so it's best to avoid it.

Right but read the bag: Do NOT use the popcorn button on your microwave.

It's a fancy selling feature for the microwave, nothing more. Also good for lazy people that either want to burn their bag or leave tons of unpopped kernels.

There is no way the microwave popcorn accounts for all brands of popcorn bags.

It used to be a standard thing. Also, the buttons do more than just "time." For instance, popcorn may be prepared best with certain phases of pulses or periods of more constant pulses or... whatever.

I'm sure microwave popcorn manufacturers know what their accepted "Standards" are. And, I'm sure many have figured out their own little thing to set themselves apart from what every other manufacturer is doing, so they may require different settings to produce the best results.

All the popcorn button does is turn your popcorn in to charcoal. Then you will never get that burnt smell out of your microwave.

I promise, if you read the package, it says NOT to use the microwave BUTTON.

Where are people getting that I said don't put popcorn in the microwave? This is two people, now.

"It" could mean either the button, or the microwave.

Because humanity enjoys making things the hard way, and will always make that big, shinny red button the most dangerous one.

Jim, I just checked my microwave popcorn. And nowhere does it say to not use the microwave button. However, I did discover that my microwave has a THREE LEVEL microwave button. Which I have never used.

Every popcorn bag brand requires calibration. No button can replicate this process.
