MODERATORS
Olde time microwaves had a moisture sensor inside which allowed them to sense when popcorn was done popping, automatically. Really fancy ones have a microphone, and will listen for when the popping is done.
But lots of microwaves literally just throw on a popcorn button that's just some arbitrary preset time duration. These do not get consistent result, and as such, popcorn makers just tell people to not use the feature at all as they can't guarantee results.
Surely the microwave manufacturer is to blame?
Why should the popcorn manufacturer have to inform the user about a feature of someone elses product?
Because they'll get a million complaints that say "I used the popcorn button and it lit my microwave on fire" when they try to pop a mini bag or something.
