BEWARE Orville Redenbacher Pop Up Bowl

A few weeks ago, I made a Orville Redenbacher pop up bowl of popcorn.
THIS is what happened.

Thankfully, I was the one who retrieved the popcorn bowl, which was on fire in my microwave.

I put out the small fire immediately. I followed the exact instructions for the product. The mark you see above never fully came off completely, causing permanent damage to my nearly-new microwave.

I DID contact the company, who was so generous. They offered a COUPON for a free product!
PLEASE use caution if you purchase this type of popcorn! I can only imagine what may have happened if my daughter been the one to retrieve the popcorn that day!

  3. Hi Mamabreak, I was looking for pictures of the pop up bowl after this tragic disaster (As I've also experienced it, so I'm blogging about it) because I deleted my own that I took. Do you mind if I use this picture on my blog? I will link back to yours!
