    Not sure about microwaves popping the corn, but there was this guy Jimmy who was cracking the corn, but honestly I couldn't be bothered with it.

    No. I ended up switching to this guy and has been awesome:

    My dogs come running when I get out the air popper because there's always a kernel or two that lands in the bowl before popping and sends a bunch flying. Yes I scream like a child every time which makes the dogs flinch, but not enough to stop them from hoovering up all the popcorn.

    I must just be lucky. My popcorn button just puts my microwave on for 2m40s and my Kirky Sig movie theater butter popcorn comes out great every single time. I'd say one in 50 bags has had an issue with it being slightly overdone, if that. I appreciate that the button does 2:40 because I would never hit 2:40, it would either be 2:30 or 3m.

    Nope. Someone got a patent on the idea in early days of microwave popcorn and they have effectively killed it by asking too high of a price to use.
    But there are phone apps that will listen to the pop rate and tell you when it's done.
