I and my American friends in London have struggled to find microwave popcorn in stores around here. We did not understand how this wonderful product could be absent from the shelves at even the large chain supermarkets. Apparently the demand for microwave popcorn is small.

Well, just recently, I finally found it!

***Popz Butter Flavour Microwave Popcorn***

And it was on sale for only 99 pence. Yay!

I think one company must produce microwave popcorn for the entire continent of Europe because the instructions and nutrition information are given in 11 languages! That's right--11!

Here is the phrase 'Butter Flavour' in 10 other languages:
smørsmag
smørsmak
boter-aroma
bettergeschmack
smorsmak (with 2 dots above the first m)
gusto burro
boût beurre
voinmakuinen
sabor a mantequilla
aroma de menteiga

The languages represented happen to be: French, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Italian, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish. Can you identify which is which? I can't for all of them--the Scandinavian languages are tricky, I think.

Interestingly, the word popcorn is written 'popcorn' in all the languages except Spanish (palomitas) and Portuguese (pipocas-I like this one!)

My multi-lingual response to microwave popcorn is mmmmmmmmmmmm!
