Compare that to the 10 grams of fat per serving for a bag of microwave popcorn (it contains 3 servings)
and the spices are so great, i use parmasan cheese, salt, and molly something butter stuff...mix it up and bam, mmm, so good

Plus it doesn't make your house smell like complete shit for days!! Man I can't stand the smell of microwave popcorn, it's disgusting when people at work make it.
...but to answer your original question, in addition to what's already been said here, set the microwave and *stand by it* until the poppiing slows. all ovens are different but really, each bag, even of the same brand, is different. if you smell even slight burning, it's already overcooked.
