If we can die from popcorn butter fumes then why not just kill ourselves now?
this story gave my roommates and I a good laugh.
Beware of the pocorn butter.

doctors there believe they have the first case of a consumer who developed lung disease from the fumes of microwaving popcorn several times a day for years.
I think most of us are gonna be fine.

How would you like to be the doctor that gave the guy the news?
"Well sir, your lung disease has been caused by buttery flavoring."

Hahaha I like that they say 'We have no other plausible explanation.'
In other words: "Shit we don't know what's wrong. Fuck it, blame the popcorn, he's eaten enough of it"

Eeew cheesy popcorn, unless your talking about the kind sold in bags pre-popped.
Why is it that you can buy popcorn in a bag prepopped and it stays crispy, but popcorn you pop in the microwave gets soggy after about an hour?

Because they use a powder flavoring on the stuff on the can, while the stuff in the bag turns into a semi-fluid after heating it up.

So because they don't know the cause and they have no evidence pointing in any directions they instantly say it's butter? I'll take my popcorn bull**** free please.

are you censoring yourself from swearing whilst joking about cancer?
That's just downright depressing.
Eh.. Caramel popcorn is better anyway.

I'd rather die than not have popcorn with my movies.

Yeah, well, the amount of popcorn it would take to kill...
just watch those hips, that's all I'm saying.

Think of those poor movie theater workers. they are ricking their lives just so we can have popcorn with our movies.
We should build them a statue or something.

Oh, shit! I shouldn't have gotten my daily calcium from the butter in popcorn for the last few years!
Seriously, who the fuck eats microwaved popcorn several time a day? I think we're all safe.
I heard about this and its bizarre to be honest. It does seem that lots of stuff can cause cancer and kill us. It's like, they just wont let us live. I understand being healthy, safe, etc, but sometimes it just is taken a bit too far in soem cases. Depending on how you look at it that is.

"He described progressively worsening respiratory symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath. Tests found his ability to exhale was deteriorating, Rose said, although his condition seemed to stabilize after he quit using microwave popcorn."
It sounds to me like he is just becoming a fat ass.
Either that or hes one of those people that stands in front of the microwave staring at his popcorn rise from 3 inches away.

I can think of worse ways to die. Such as choking on the dry kernel of popcorn that you decided not to put butter on because the internet told you it was dangerous.

Question is: what doesn't kill you nowadays? We all die eventually, so load up your movie popcorn with that toxic butter! Speaking of which, anyone tried that "flavored popcorn seasonings" they give out now such as garlic & parmesan, white cheddar, and cinnamon?

Thats because you weigh 500pounds.

Pfft, I'll eat pop-corn when ever the fuck I feel like it. Sure if I had about 6 packets a day, I'd die, but who wouldn't!?

Yeah, the stuff is in my favorite brand. And I ate the stuff a lot. I'm gonna die by age 60 now.

Just a thought- perhaps standing over the microwave several times a day waiting for his grossly over buttered popcorn gave him cancer.
