My only problem is I can't think of a better way to ingest butter in massive quantities than this.

Ah, but it's not butter that's the problem, it's fake butter flavour.

I'm sure that if you made popcorn in a pot and added your own butter, you'd be fine.

I don't like popcorn anyway. The very smell of it gives me an icky mouth taste. So looks like I'm safe from Popcorn Lungs.

Yep, I am with you on that one.

I also don't like how part of the kernel gets under the gums.
