Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"?

Acthually, the Popcrn button was intended for making popcorn Not in the Microwave bags. So when people use those bags and press the popcorn button it doesn’t work out.

you’d think at this point the two industries would have hashed things out so the button says “kettle corn” or something, so it’s not confusing…

  The popcorn button is for making metric popcorn.

    If that’s so then why do some of them ask you to tell it which of the 2 standard sized popcorn bags it is, with those being the only 2 choices? Probably because they aren’t all the same

Nope, that’s not the case. It’s for bag popcorn. The technology connections video talks about it

The popcorn button on my microwave works perfectly every time.

I do know that this is not the case with all microwaves, but it absolutely can work.
