ABSTRACT:
The package allows the popping of popcorn in situ within a pouch contained in a carton. The carton has a tear-away portion in its top panel which is removed when the package is put into the microwave oven. The pouch is folded in the carton so that the edges of the folded pouch are disposed beneath the opening formed by removal of the tear-away portion. The top panel of the carton includes marginal constraining portions bounding the opening which constrain the pouch once the popcorn has commenced popping. The basal portion of the pouch is thus held in the carton while the remainder of the pouch expands through the opening during popping. The carton is provided with feet which elevate the bottom panel of the carton in the microwave oven to minimize scorching of the bottom panel during popping.
