Microwave Popcorn
...I have been snacking too much.
In an attempt to make this happen less (and be more healthy when it happens), I have picked up two new habits. One is chewing gum. The other is (light) popcorn.
While making the popcorn today, I wondered: why can't my microwave listen to the popping and just stop when the interval slows to the optimal level?
I imagine detecting each pop is a mechanically trivial task, and timing it shouldn't be much harder. Of course, there would still be a timer as a fall-back, but... c'mon, why do I have to stick around and listen to my popcorn anymore? That's so low-tech!
