I love popcorn, but I have yet to find a good microwavable one. This is stuff that falls into the crappy category, for several reasons. First...can anything be worse than finding that 40 % of the kernels didn't pop ?? It strange that a popcorn maker puts inferior product into a package and labels at as # 1 !!! This gets an automatic two thumbs down, and wait until you hear my second reason for knocking this brandname.... Seems that the butter content is so small, that you would have to do a lab analysis to find any at all. What a ripoff. And to top it off, they try to lure you into buying it by giving away some prize. I wonder when this bunch of crooks will realize that we're no all idiots ready to buy anything just to get the secret surprise. Buy Jiffy Pop...it's the top of the line, and 99.999 % of the kernels POP.

Consumer Feedback:

"I heard ten pops and the microwave buzzed. I opened the pack and there it was...a gleaming array of 10 popcorns....WOW..."

Telephone repairman arrested for Signal Theft
Toronto - A 3 year employee of Bell Canada was arrested for making unauthorized long distance calls to points all over the globe. Mel Harper was arrested as he was talking to his grandmother in London, and faces charges of up to 5 years. He was being investigated by the Bell Internal Service after a tip pointed to the crimes he was committing. Harper admitted to police that he spent 6 of his 8 hours on the job talking to friends in Australia, England, Nairobi, and Guatemala. The phone company estimates that Harper spent a total of 12000 minutes talking long distance, and to make matters worse, he had not even bothered to sign up for the long distance savings package. His lawyer will argue that the stress of being a repairman led him to make the calls and seek comfort from his friends and family abroad. The case will be heard on August 2nd, 1999.

In the last decade, trust in politicians has been closely monitored, through scientific statistical data. On the average, there has been no politician who has consitently remained trustworthy. Take for example the graph below. This graph recorded the amount of truth a mayor in a large US city has told over the course of one day last week. As you can see, his truth telling is high in the morning, but tends to degrade as the day goes on. He becomes an outright liar by late afternoon.
