    Abstract: A package for transportation, storage and microwave cooking of an individual serving of popping corn includes a semi-rigid cardboard box having downwardly converging and generally trapezoidal sides, the inner surfaces of which are oil absorptive. One pair of opposed sides includes a pair of fold-down closing flaps which can be interlocked to releasably close the top of the box and each of which is provided with a pair of matching score lines to define a central flex section for the box top, so that the top flexes upwardly upon cooking.
