Spartan Extra Butter Microwave Popcorn
What it is
This is a bag of microwave popcorn that has been pre-seasoned with extra butter flavoring. It is designed for easy preparation in a microwave oven. The kernels are coated with oil and butter flavoring before being sealed in the bag. When heated, the kernels expand and the flavoring melts, creating a buttery snack.

To prepare, place the popcorn bag in the center of your microwave. Set the microwave to high power and cook for the time recommended on the packaging, usually between 1.5 to 4 minutes.

Be cautious of steam when opening the bag.
