It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Howdygram product review but I’m feeling inspired after trying Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl microwave popcorn. Sam bought this several months ago and it’s been hanging out at the back of the pantry ever since, mostly because Sam — who’s clever, well-educated and extremely coordinated — couldn’t figure out how to open the damn bag.
Aside from the fact that Pop Up Bowls are overpriced and stupid, I’ve got a number of random yet essential thoughts to share with you.
- Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowls contain very little popcorn, and they’re shaped more like canoes than actual, you know, BOWLS.
- Due to item #1 above you’re warned not to use the popcorn setting on your microwave.
- About a third of the kernels don’t pop; everything else burns.
- You need a master’s degree in civil engineering to open the package, and by the time you figure it out all your friends have moved on to pretzels.
- I don’t get the point of this product. Why would Orville Redenbacher’s marketing Einsteins conclude that the average consumer can’t open a traditional bag of popcorn and pour it into a bowl?
Time to join Sam in the family room so we can eat things and watch today’s episode of “People’s Court.” Thanks for stopping by.
