Yeah you read right......
Funny enough if you keep eating microwave pop corns everyday you are prone to a disease known as "Popcorn lungs"....
Well.. apparently Wayne Watson, a Denver native, says he ate about two bags of popcorn everyday for 10 years straight, and developed the rare disease possibly from inhaling the artificial butter smell of the microwave popcorn. Wayne Watson argued the companies failed to warn consumers that inhaling the buttery aroma could put them at risk of lung injury.... But on Wednesday, Lady luck smiled at Watson, as he won a $7.2 million verdict against Gilster-Mary Lee Corp., The Kroger Co. and Dillon Companies Inc., for this illness.
He told ABC News,
“I probably look like a fairly healthy guy but I only have, on a good day, about 53 percent lung capacity.”Well the former staff of a carpet cleaning industry is now $7.2 million richer today....
