Screw it. I pushed a button, it says: popcorn. Ok, I wait for two minutes. Viola, I didn't burn any of popcorn.
Pretty stupid way to follow the instruction when it required the listening ear to know how soon it will be finished. I will be glad to eat burnt popcorn with lot of butter. Bon appetit!

I just watch the bag as it pops/jerks...then stop when the appropriate time passes.
Then I use the same popping time for the other bags (same box/brand). No problems at all!
I agree - this is so frustrating. How am I supposed to know when the popcorn's done?!? Well, I tend to put one of my hands on the microwave and "feel" for the pops. When I feel the pops slowing down, I take the bag out of the microwave. Voila! No burnt popcorn! Use our other enhanced senses, such as touch, to make microwave popcorn! :-)
I do the same thing as anonymous above. Put my hand on the side and wait until the popping slows down. But with smart microwaves today, I haven't burned popcorn in a long time :-)
I'm hearing and am sure I'll hear the popping as I walk away from the microwave to put a load of laundry in the washer, or go pick out a movie to watch while I eat the popcorn.
Usually it's the burnt smell and smoke alarm that lets me know when my popcorn's done. A raised eyebrow and "The Look" from my husband confirms it.
I should be smart and stand there to monitor the stuff, like you guys (gals) do.
Previous to my CI, I had to stand and watch the popcorn. I still burnt it. My son always had to be my ears.
actually, it never works. It's BEST for popcorn to do the work for you and less likely to burn. ignore the instruction saying not to use popcorn button.
