1/4 cup of popping corn (generally $0.99 for a pound bag. This is enough to make at least 50 bags of microwave corn)
1 Teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
To taste - popcorn salt (it has finer granules than table salt with the same taste)

A stapler
A teaspoon
A measuring cup
A brown paper bag
and
A microwave

Open the bag and pour the popping corn in. Carefully add your seasonings (a little garlic is good, granulated careful it can burn) and salt. Shake gently. Now add the teaspoon of olive oil.

Fold the bag over once and staple twice. Contrary to popular belief, the staples will not spark in the microwave. Gently shake the contents to mix and press out the air. Set on it's back in the microwave and cook until the pops get about 3 to 5 seconds apart.

Open the bag with great care as steam will be escaping and you can get scalded. Pour into a bowl, serve and enjoy the taste.
