I laughed my ass off and explained that it was for the stovetop and that she should NEVER put metal in the microwave. And then we made some and later bought some--yes--microwave popcorn. I guess I'd only had Jiffypop at friends' houses. It was so cute though--we were such a Luddite family. [ Reply | More
