Everyone has paper sacks lying around - you could easily purchase a tub full of popcorn kernels at a fraction of the cost of microwave popcorn and make as much as you want indefinitely. Plus it would be fresher, taste better, and not contain disgusting, oily garbage (unless you wanted to add it). Why doesn't this happen? Just because no one thinks of it. We-e-e-ird. An industry that thrives on inefficiency of information transfer. Any other good examples? It’s kind of bizarre how industries survive by relying on obscurity of information.
