Reply to comment by c6h12o6CandyGirl in My mom's 34 year old microwave from 1988 by jimbodeako

You kids today with your buttons for everything. Back in my day we didn't have no "popcorn button". We had to type in 3 minutes on the keypad like some kinda savage

Grandma's had a rotary dial that counted down.

Wow, my grandma’s had a dial, too, I think. Wonder what happened to that microwave after she died.

You were lucky to have a keypad! We had Dad for several millennia (what it felt like) in the kitchen with a pressure cooker and SKRITCHASKRITCHASKRITCHA until things began to explode.

The individual popcorns, not my Dad. Although, if he had enough Miller Lite that day, sometimes he'd explode too...
