I mean I know, I know ... it's a "better safe than sorry" type solution to what could be an unsatisfactory experience for everyone.
But I would so much rather leave it in until just the right moment for the maximum effect. After all, if I pull it out early, I just feel like I've wasted some of the experience.
The reality is that it's all about the perfect timing .. and who amongst us in those scenarios is anywhere close to perfect.
But still ... I am always striving to improve ... and one day soon before I get too much older and can't control it at all anymore ... I *will* figure out how to time the microwave popcorn making such that every kernel is popped. And from that day forward -- no more pulling it out early.
