My microwave has a popcorn setting.
Every microwavable popcorn I ever bought said on the package not to use that setting.
Same with all the others: What the fuck does the Pizza setting actually do?
Olde time microwaves had a moisture sensor inside which allowed them to sense when popcorn was done popping, automatically. Really fancy ones have a microphone, and will listen for when the popping is done.
But lots of microwaves literally just throw on a popcorn button that’s just some arbitrary preset time duration. These do not get consistent result, and as such, popcorn makers just tell people to not use the feature at all as they can’t guarantee results.

Technology Connections on YouTube or a better alternative has done videos about the popcorn button at least.
Fwiw I’ve never ever seen settings like that. Maybe it’s only for American market?
Nope, I’m in Germany.
That’s interesting. Thanks.
