I purchased a new micro wave oven that was a few hundred more watts than the
previous one. Well I didn't read the instructions and just set it like I did
the old one for doing popcorn. I put in a bag of microwave popcorn and had a
raging fire inside of a minute or two. To this day I can still smell the
burnt popcorn. It kind of kill my taste for the stuff ever since.
