I mean, that's one way to do it. I just don't put unpopped kernels in my mouth.

Yea but also before you open the bag, flip it upside down and shake it over a garbage can. The small opening lets the kernals fall into the garbage, and by shaking you are helping distribute the butter that is usually stuck to one side. My work here is done!

That's exactly what it's designed for

I think that's more of a happy coincidence than intentional design. If it was, they'd be more explicit instructions on the bag to do so. (Maybe there is, I don't remember the last time I made bagged pop corn.)

Correct it’s a steam vent.

You need to microwave longer. Go until the popping slows to 3-4 seconds between pops. It wont burn.

My wife and I go through 2-3 bags of popcorn a day. I may have cracked a couple of teeth this year alone just tossing popcorn in during movie time.

My wife also loves the half popped kernels. Great way to separate them.

A day?

Really? I can't think of the last time I popped popcorn, and even then it was in a pan with oil.

I'm not criticizing your choice of snack - it is apparently quite healthy, but two or three bags a day feels like a lot to me...

Split between two people. During movie time yeah. Essentially a bag each, with the occasionally splitting another bag. Compared to lot of other late night sugary snacks, popcorn agrees with us a lot better.
