Dear Orville and ACT and Jolly Time...

...I'm breaking up with you. I've found something cheaper, just as easy and, more importantly, healthier.

I am no longer a slave to the boxes of microwave popcorn. I've figured out how to make microwave popcorn from scratch.

Brown Bag Microwave Popcorn

• Popping corn
• Brown paper lunch sack
• Tape
• Seasonings of your choice.

Yes, that's really all you need. Now, here's how to make it - trust me, this is just as easy as unwrapping the cellophane from a purchased bag.

Measure 1/4 c. of popping corn.

Place popping corn in lunch bag. Fold edge over twice and seal with tape. Gently press to remove excess air.

Pop in microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until popping slows to 2-3 seconds between pops.

Carefully open bag and serve popcorn with your choice of toppings - or none at all.

Delicious! And super-cheap!
