Thanks, but I’ll just listen for 20 seconds instead of slopcorn.
Nope. Someone got a patent on the idea in early days of microwave popcorn and they have effectively killed it by asking too high of a price to use.
But there are phone apps that will listen to the pop rate and tell you when it’s done.

Patents only last 20 years. I’d be more concerned about when it expires and they actually have a plausible reason to put a listening device in your microwave

My god it does NOT need an app. It better be free.

If someone can’t count a few seconds to know when to stop I don’t think they should be making popcorn.

Deaf people don’t deserve popcorn.

Free. (But with in-app purchases) ;-)

Well, as long as that’s a “tip” button.
