I discovered the existence of those on online forums, it literally blew my mind. Manufacturers engineering microphones in microwaves because US people can’t be arsed to stay for two fucking minutes next to the oven. Fucking unbelievable.
Mine is definitely just a preset time estimated for what a bag of popcorn should require. It sets a timed countdown that looks and works exactly the same as if I had simply entered that time.

And every commercial microwave popcorn product I’ve bothered to read the directions on says “DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON”.
Well what’s the point or the stupid thing then?
I don’t know, never used it.
Lol, ok, fair.
Wait, is that what the popcorn button does? I always thought it just was a preset for a time that would work decently for most standard brands.
