Microwave popcorn is an abomination: https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/eating-microwave-popcorn-increases-the-level-of-pfas-in-body https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/eating-microwave-pop... When they were old enough (like 6yo) I taught my kids to pop their own popcorn over the oven. 1 bag of kernels (dozens of servings) = the cost of a 6-pack of microwave popcorn, and the time it takes to pop isn't that much more. Plus you can salt/flavor them how you like - our house favorite is curry powder/garlic powder/olive oil.
