microwave popcorn

Nuked puffed snack

Microwave popcorn is popcorn sold in a specially designed bag that can be placed directly in a microwave oven.

The bag contains kernels, oil, and flavorings; as it heats, the kernels pop and the bag inflates.

The smell of microwave popcorn filled the office break room.

Often associated with convenience and movie-watching at home.
