If you're a fan of microwave popcorn, you know the feeling of biting into a salty, overly-seasoned kernel. But don't worry - you don't have to throw away a perfectly good bag of popcorn. Instead, read on to learn my top tips for fixing oversalted microwave popcorn.

The first step to fixing oversalted popcorn is to remove the excess salt from the bag. The easiest way to do this is to take a paper towel, fold it in half, and shake the bag of popcorn over the paper towel. This will help absorb some of the excess salt.

If you don't have a paper towel handy, you can also try adding more popcorn to the bag and shaking it up. This will help dilute the salt and make the popcorn more palatable.

Another way to fix oversalted popcorn is to add a bit of butter or oil and some sugar or other sweetener to the bag. This will help balance out the salty flavor of the popcorn and make it more enjoyable.

Finally, you can try adding some other seasonings to the popcorn. Try a bit of garlic powder, paprika, or even Parmesan cheese - all of these will help balance out the salty flavor of the popcorn and make it more enjoyable.

No matter which method you choose, fixing oversalted microwave popcorn is easy and can save you from an unpleasant snack. So next time you find yourself with a salty bag of popcorn, try one of these methods and you'll be snacking in no time!
