I have a special plastic bowl for the microwave. No oil required. Toss some corn in, press the “Popcorn” button on the microwave and you’re done.

I have that plastic bowl too. It works great.
I do the paper bag method with no oil.
One thing I can appreciate is the sugar free candies etc. Since going on low/no carb, sugar(s) etc. I originally tried some sugar free products as an alternative, including breath mints. Well let me tell you, I have a low threshold for those artificial sweetened and sugar alcohols. I will not disgust you with the details of what that does to your (my) system.
I’ve cut them all out of my diet, fresh breath is a pet peeve of mine, outside of brushing I’ve started keeping ginger in my office and eat some during the day as I feel my breath is getting stale. Seems to work fairly well.
I just make my popcorn on the stove top. Takes 5 min. start to finish and tastes much, much better than microwaved. I add a knob of butter once the popping really gets going.

Parsley is good for freshening your breath, too.
Yes, the original reason parsley was used as a garnish was as a post meal breath freshener!! I’m well aware of the parsley benefits, however I think I would be looked at as a bit of a nut (not that I’m not already) If I started keeping bunches of fresh parsley in the company fridge. lol I find the small bottle of ginger to be more convenient. Thanks for the tip though!!
For my popcorn, skip the butter, bacon grease and loads of cayenne.

Actually, you could use mukhwas (the mixture you find in Indian restaurant to freshen your breath after a meal),
actually what we need is:
“15 Lists You Should Not Bother With”
and
“1500 Food Bloggers You Should Ignore”

I don’t disagree. Perhaps you might want to start that discussion.
I am done apologising for posting something that I admitted that I posted just to bring up our post count and hopefully our Google. I still think it is an interesting topic of conversation regardless of my original intention.
Take Care, HO.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Is this the bowl of seed like stuff sitting by the register? I’ve noticed this in a few Indian restaurants when I use to still eat that food, never knew what it was.
I’ve said this a few times, best popcorn;
Bacon grease
Truffle oil
Salt
Pepper
Parsley
You can thank me later!

why the feeling you need to apologize?
Yes, that’s mukhwas. You take a small amount (there’s usuallly a small spoon there) and chew it to freshen your breath. Warning: It usually contains fennel and/or anise, so if you don’t like those flavors, you might want to skip it.
I can stand with you, notjr – I’m hypersensitive to sugar alcohols, too. Nasty stuff, that.
Sadly, even though I was truly enjoying my adventures in Indian dining, I put together significant stomach issues after eating Indian food. I couldn’t determine a common tie in what I was eating, but there is a spice, perhaps curry, that just did NOT agree with me. So I won’t be having an occasion to try the mukhwas again. Thank you though for the tip!
Uggghhhhh I honestly don’t know how stuff like that get’s approved, I mean I don’t know what the % of people who have reaction(s) similar to ours, but it’s obvious that sh*t can’t be good for anyone.
