City of Seattle may ban microwave popcorn
04:47 PM PDT on Wednesday, June 13, 2007
SEATTLE – First, Washington State banned indoor public smoking.
Now, the City of Seattle may ban employees from making microwave popcorn.
No kidding.
A memo from the Fleets and Facilities Department addressed to "Employees at Civic Center Buildings" says there has been several evacuations in recent years due smoke alarms being tripped by burning popcorn.
The memo states that in the past three years, there have been eight evacuations at the Justice Center, which includes jail cells and courtrooms, because of burnt popcorn. That's more than 400 people evacuated each time.
There have also been several evacuations at City Hall and Seattle Municipal Tower because of the overcooked treat.
