That sounds kind of dumb. If nothing else, it's wasting popcorn. It says right on the package you're supposed to stay with it and listen for when it's complete so you can stop the microwave before it catches fire.
If you use the same microwave & same brand of popcorn all the time you should be able to figure out pretty quickly what settings to use. And I wouldn't leave it unattended at work, because some low life will steal your popcorn if you aren't watching. From: Rick Womer
What's =really= neat is to put you bag of popcorn in a 1500 watt commercial microwave oven, set it to run for 5 minutes, and walk away. Smoke, alarms, flashing lights, sirens... it's quite a show! Somebody must do this at work every week.... Rick
