Genius! Now when the house goes up in flames, you’ll have a delicious snack raining down on you as you gather your valuables!
LOL!!!
@Hook
No way man! That’s some life saving jiffy pop right there.
now that is awesome
In the olden days folks would actually put blanks and firecrackers in the plaster of walls to function as fire alarms… of course you couldn’t eat those!

And you didn’t even have to pay extra for the genuine smoke flavor!

I thought it was a fly swatter?
LMAO!!!!

If I were a Landlord doing a property inspection, something tells me I better have a real good look around today.
Not removing the paper cover is akin to having no battery in a STANDARD smoke alarm. Please remember to remove that cover before hanging.

/me spits coffee on screen
What firehouse is this in, exactly?
We had one nailed over the door in the station kitchen for years.
Batteries not included.
I wasn’t aware they still sold Jiffy Pop in this fashion… perhaps it is now antique corn
I’m not sure that would work as a fire alarm….
It would probably only work to detect and absorb laserbeams, as it was originally designed to.

@guitargirrl7
That’s why it’s labeled “Fire Alarm” instead of “Smoke Alarm”.
FYI – Jiffy Pop wasn’t designed to work in the microwave (see the metal handle attached to the side), but rather over a grill or a stove. The Jiffy Pop would be heat-activated in this case, since the heat would rise and it would be considerably hotter at the top of the room than at the floor.
…Or maybe I’m just over-explaining.
*Wipes tears from eyes*
I sooo needed that!
lol that is excellent
*warning* not for use at campfires. Trust me, I tried. We had to leave before bears came.
@Talsharr
Dude, tears? Really? Damn.
could be worse, it could’ve been marshmellow sticks on a pool rack with extra bags
Dude, that did it… you made my day!!! lmfaso
Great! Now death is tasty.
ROFL
A better idea would be if somebody accidentally set a fire, and popcorn that wasn’t popped in every room. So when the fire started the popcorn would pop and a voice alarm would go 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, !all the way down to 10. So when the popcorn is done, you can put the fire out! Hooray! Popcorn for everyone if they’re still alive!
do you have to wiat until popping slows down to one per second before exiting the building?
@zxcvb – Hilarious!!!
@zxcvb – epic post. but… buttery+fire=CAUTION: Falling Objects On Fire
by that time, it may be too late. It won’t set off a loud enough noise if the house is on fire. It will just pop popcorn.@bunchie
@guitargirrl7
That’s what makes it such a ridiculous/hilarious/awesome idea
@Calizona
Nope, I just bought a two-pack of Jiffy Pop fresh last week. Hadn’t thought of using it as a fire alarm.
This is actually from a bar in my town, and I believe this picture was taken from my aunt’s facebook. She has the identical picture on her Facebook. Not lying either.
I see genius there! But not on this planet!
A good usefull eatable alarm.(don’t eat it it you’ll be fire alarmless if thats a word…..)
@bunchie
yeah i’m pretty sure apply heat and eat works just fine. Oh yeah and leave when that popcorn starts popping
Just found the site this weekend and this kludge was the funniest one we saw. Great site!
what if there was drive-by outside… but you thought the gunshots were popcorn… and you ran outside as fast as you could… only to die bleeding on the street instead of dying while eating popcorn.
and ‘nimajneb’, eatable isnt a word either…
We have a Jiffy Pop thing in the church office as a joke!

What if the fire is in some other room?
@Michael
Maybe he has one in each room xD
@Michael I’m sure there’s one in every room, just in case.
Smart ass thats sooo not gonna work youll probably die of smoke inhalation first. thats why everybody has smoke detectors….stay smart
Yum
+ side is if they survive the fire they get to eat popcorn after…
The bad news is, your house is on fire. The good news is, at least you have something to eat while you watch the fire department try to put it out.
Well at least you get a great snack before you die a horrible death
Stop! Pop and Drool…
(or stop drop and roll… whatever floats your boat)
seriously I hope you’re kidding
I’m not sure if that’s in accordance with the 17th edition rules
………..wow… Just… wow. I can pretty much hear the safety monologue that goes on in this house:
“Now, remember kids, if you smell popcorn and you ain’t watchin’ a movie, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE HOUSE!” >_<
Genious! haha!
lol lmfao
I was wondering what the hell that nail was for.
i can just see it now; the homeowner is asleep, about 3am and out of the darkness a *pop* followed by another and another.
he sits up, confused for a moment as the smell of ‘movie theater-style’ wafts into the bedroom.
he mumbles; “is that… popcorn..? OH SHIT! POPCORN! EVERYBODY OUT OF THE HOSE!!1″
from downstairs “sorry honny, its just little benjamin making a midnight snack”
i’ve never laughed so hard in my life.
Ok, I have been passing this picture around the office for over a month now, I have even been sending it out mms on cell phones. See I work at a fire alarm company in Houston.
Now that I found my way back to you, I have to sat THANK YOU!
WE LOVE Love this picture. This is amazing.
(Sorry to dredge up yet another long dead post area,) But on the bright-side, you can enjoy a delicious snack whilst you crisp to death
‘pop.. pop. pop.. pop pop pop.. pop Pop POP POP POP POP!!!’ Honey! the popcorn is going off again!
what the heck is with the site? I scroll down, your page jumps back to the top, I scroll down again, it jumps back to the top. does it twice every time.
oh, love the alarm.
Lol. We have to do this.
I <3 Jiffy pop.
