Do you prefer butter on your popcorn? - GoFuckYourself.com

Amputate Your Head · 03-16-2004, 11:29 AM

JOPLIN, Mo. - A factory worker who claimed his lungs were ruined as a result of mixing flavoring oils used in microwave popcorn was awarded $20 million by a jury Monday.

?We?re relieved that it?s over and our lives can get back to as normal as they can be,? Eric Peoples said. ?At least for now, we?ll be able to spoil our children and let them forget for a while.?

Plaintiff requires lung transplant:
Trial testimony showed if Peoples? health remains stable, he could wait at least 10 years for a needed double-lung transplant; life expectancy of a lung transplant recipient is about 10 years.

Ross · 03-16-2004, 11:30 AM

Thats fucked up. Americans will sue anyone for anything...

cherrylula · 03-16-2004, 11:31 AM

I saw that on the news last night.

They said something about 29 more people following suit with this rare lung disease from inhaling the butter fumes.

yucko

sherie · 03-16-2004, 11:31 AM

And I was watching this on CNN a few minutes ago...WOAH!

Doctor Dre · 03-16-2004, 11:33 AM

Outch ... people are starting talking about it a lot . I've seen 2 journal articles and something on tv here about popcorn in past 2 week (not releated . They said it was one of the worst thing to eat)

same here.... prolly like, 3 or 4 times a week.....

guess I better stop.

tbabe · 03-16-2004, 11:38 AM

with all the drama on GFY, half the people here are going to need new lungs in 5 years.

jimboc · 03-16-2004, 11:39 AM

That's another lot of flood gates open for others to do the same...

If this carries on, in 10 years the cost of medical treatment and services / products will increace so much.

jhauser · 03-16-2004, 11:40 AM

oh man thats super bad news for me. I love the flavored popcorn especially the cheese flavor with a good old helping of melted butter~

Exactly! That's why I hate america! Atleast my roommate is sueing the doctor for something worse!

Yesterday they took their daughter to get her cast removed and when they were sawing it off, she started screaming you're cutting me, you're cutting me and the doctor threating to throw the father & mother out of the room if they didn't clam down, when this is their 5 yr old daughter!

Well, they finally stop after a few mins of arguing and sure enough, there is a cut that kept getting deeper as they went along the bottom, above the main vien ing the wrist (the one people slice accoss the wrist) this was along the vien, the right way! So he's like, if they wouldn't stop, they would've gone deeper! So he just wants to get the license taken away from the doctor!

Lykos · 03-16-2004, 12:25 PM

Good thinking.

hoe_vender · 03-16-2004, 12:31 PM

Who the fuck doesnt like butter on their popcorn

angeleyes · 03-16-2004, 12:57 PM

Never liked popcorn, it's like eating air and the husks get caught in your teeth.

fuzebox · 03-16-2004, 01:23 PM

I always spend the extra 50 cents on the real butter topping, none of that flavored margerine oil bullshit.

hottoddy · 03-16-2004, 01:33 PM

Of course, but I'm not crazy about microwave popcorn. I love to make it in my Presto hot air popper (Orville Redenbacher kernels are the best) and add my own toppings.

I eat popcorn four times a year but without butter.

Ironhorse · 03-16-2004, 03:35 PM

All american haters in this thread before you look even more ridiculous take the time and read the article, the guy is not suing because he's been eating popcorn, he was working in a popcorn factory and inhaled these fumes for 30 years. Get a clue.
