Many people out there are wondering how this great idea came about to make a video on how to use the Popcorn button on a microwave. It all started with a Friday night of making a few (virgin) daiquiris and some popcorn. In my normal way of question the way people use thing, I noticed Amy just haphazardly threw the bag of popcorn she was making into the microwave and hit this all to familiar button known as Popcorn. Without a second guess of the absurdede of what was about to leave my mouth I quickly, in a questioning tone, asked Amy how she knows how to use this Popcorn button. More or less question whether she really knew if she was using it right or merely had hit this button prior and received the desired results of well cooked popcorn. While she did quickly inform me that she did infact know how to properly use this most confusing of buttons she could provide and proof of proper training or instruction. This little story is the seed of the idea that will become HowToUseThePopcornButton.com.

How the idea for HTUTPB.com came about is another great little story which will bring this tale to a close. Amy and I were eating dinner at the local Arby's prior to our plans of going to see Balls of Fury. While eating I was telling Amy of a great little online video clip I had watched earlier in the day about how to install a sticker on the back of a windshield. The description of the video alone seems to indicate the value of the information provided. By the close of the story Amy had the greatest idea ever. Produce a video on how to use the popcorn button of a microwave and distribute it on the web. Then to augment the whole popcorn button thing we would send out free apparel buttons relating to the video amp; corresponding web site. Before we knew it we were skipping the movie and starting to gather supplies for shooting our first video to be distributed.
