We never made rice kripy treats either. Cereal is expensive, and nobody in my house ever ate breakfast so it wan't ever just around.
DH makes popcorn on the stove all the time. We had 2 air poppers, both of which would shoot blazing hot corn at a velocity that would cause it to ricochet out of the bowl. The cats thought it was fabulous. Me not so much.

I want to forward this info to everyone in my office, mostly because we are always guaranteed several trips outdoors every year because some asshole burned popcorn and we have to wait for the damned fire department. Every time.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
Thanks to this thread I will be making either stove top popcorn or rice krispie treats tonight.
Maybe both.
Thanks to that article, I will be throwing out the popcorn we've had in our cupboard for the better part of 6 years. I (bought it from my cousin's boy scout troupe, but we don't really eat popcorn).
What is this!? I got sucked into a $10 bag of caramel corn when a kid brought it by my house this past weekend. I am a sucker.
Also, what exactly did you say in your email? I love stuff like this. I am anti-office-fish-and-popcorn.
If we started a thread on office etiquette faux pas, cooking either of these things in the office microwave would be #2 behind putting food down the non-garbage-disposal drain.
Attention and Good Afternoon All!
Due to numerous complaints regarding the smell and recent health concerns over the chemicals in microwave popcorn, we will no longer allow microwaved popcorn to be made on office premises as of this afternoon.
Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, but we strive to maintain a comfortable and healthy atmosphere for all employees.

You have a garbage disposal in your office? Pfft. Fancy lawyers and their money!
I once worked at a company with a flavia machine. That was some good shit. Now we have a microwave, toaster, fridge and sink in our copy room, basically.
No, it's the marshmallow in the rice krispie treats. Rice krispies are vegan and gluten free, as far as I know. Marshmallows are sugar, egg white and gelatin.

Rice krispie treats aren't my thing, either. I made them once as a kid, and I'd eat them if someone brought them as a treat, but, eh. Nothing special. Today I wouldn't bother.
I used to make popcorn multiple times a week, but I make it on the stove, with olive oil. Then I sprinkle with either a season salt (Johnny's from costco, usually) or furikake. I think that makes me an elitist.

when I was in college, where we had access to a microwave but not a real stove, and where we were too cheap to buy microwave popcorn, we "discovered" that you could put popcorn in the maxi-pad bags that were left in the dorm bathrooms, then into the microwave, and it would pop up nicely.

You can get vegan marshmallows. Just so you know.
I haven't tried them. If they're anything like vegan cheese, they won't melt. But clearly I don't care that much about it to seek them out.
But like Pixy said, marshmallow fluff is a-okay. I just hadn't considered using it in recipes.
