My original recipe from the archives:

"Gooey Cheese Popcorn (By my sister Li)

One bag of microwave popcorn, light, or no-butter type (popped)
If you are poor like I used to be, pop regular popcorn the
old-fashioned way, with oil in a pan.

Put popcorn in a large bowl

Next, in small microwave-safe dish, add about 2 T margerine and about
2X as much Velveeta, thinly diced.

Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, until melted. May need a
little more velveeta or margerine, depending on thickness. Wisk with
fork until creamy, and very quickly, mix into the popcorn by pouring a
thin stream onto the popcorn while mixing the popcorn with the fork.
This mixing takes much practice, to get the distribution of cheese and
popcorn right (avoid big globs). You may have to pick up the bowl and
shake it. Much easier to do after a big fatty. By this time, the dog
has noticed what you are doing, and is very interested in catching any
"escapee" popcorns that have fled the bowl. Add salt to taste (if you
can even imagine adding salt to something topped with Velveeta).

Eat while warm, with large glass of icewater, and watch old reruns of
Lucy, Bewitched, Stooges/Rascal hour, and/or HR Puffinstuff (oranges,
poranges). When brother-in-law and cute friend come in, hand bowl of
popcorn to co-conspirator (friend or sister), so as not to look like
the pig who invented this conconction. Turn bright red. Start laughing
hysterically. "

Once you go Gooey, you never go back. Just ask Michael (Dog3).
