i think what tom is trying to say is.. that the butter on the popcorn is a chemical, so its not unlikely that large exposure can cause cancer..

How do they get lab rats to eat or smell that much popcorn?

They conduct the tests in a movie theater.

Microwave popcorn is gross anyway. The hot air popped kind is way tastier and then you can put your own melted butter or margarine on, not some yellow petroleum by-product...eeeewwwwww

I like the cheese MWP that you get to pour even more cheese after you pop it. YUMMY
