Yeah the tobacco thing was way earlier than over here. Though it does get more strict.
Thing is that too include a special microphone in a microwave to listen to popcorn pop is both incredibly specific and over engineered. And I absolutely love every but of that.
My thing is though, does one use it?
I’ve never heard of the microphone thing, but I know a lot of microwaves have had preprogrammed food buttons that either have a timer / power level setting or a steam sensor.
The popcorn thing might be a US thing, but preprogrammed food mode buttons are on lots of microwaves all over the world.
That's exactly why I asked. It's somehow significant enough.
If they know it exists and works, then it's fantastic, as good as doing it yourself.
If it's a garbage timed thing, it's possible to start a fire. Out of fear for this kind of functions, the special functions are rarely even tried.
