That buttery popcorn may be satisfying, but long time popcorn king Orville Redenbacher is being forced to change its formula after the discovery that a key chemical ingredient, Diacetyl, has been linked to cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare life-threatening disease often called popcorn lung.
Naturally, we here at the FPT always suggest the use of copious amounts of real butter whenever possible.

Thats a bummer. Microwave popcorn is just as amazing as instant mashed. Im tired of all this "It causes cancer" BS. Everyday its something new. In todays world i cant imagine popcorn is that much of a threat.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree, I hated when they took the seasonal favorite "arsenic and old lace" flavor off the shelves. The holidays just aren't the same without it.
ReplyDeleteI like the popped corn for when I be on the road up in me rig. What does this mean for me?
ReplyDeleteFirst you mess with me, then you mess with Orville? Your days are numbered fat pride man...
ReplyDeleteIs this that mesothelioma?
