As a popcorn enthusiast, I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting ways to spice up popcorn night. But as anyone who's ever tried to make their own microwave popcorn knows, it's easy to go overboard with butter or oil. So, what happens when you go too far?

It depends on the type of butter or oil you're using. If you're using butter, it can cause the popcorn to become too moist, resulting in a soggy, greasy snack. Too much oil can cause the popcorn to burn and become an inedible, charred mess.

The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to start with a small amount of butter or oil and add more to your popcorn as needed. You can also experiment with different types of butter or oil, such as coconut oil, for a unique flavor.
