Getting rid of gifts, one of everyone's least favorite categories, I'm sure. The Kidlet gave this to me for Christmas 2007. It was a thoughtful gift, as she was aware that I am extremely fond of popcorn. I have in fact been using it for its intended purpose going on four and a half years now. But you know what? I can just as easily eat popcorn out of one of my many, many mixing bowls, just like I always did before. Attempting to justify keeping this bowl, I tried to use it to actually pop the corn in the microwave (which I won't be trying with my other bowls - metal and/or pre-microwave era), but apparently it isn't made for that (it *is* labeled dishwasher safe, and is *not* labeled microwave-safe), and for my troubles I got some strange sounds and burned food.
It also doesn't hold very much. I would consider this a plus if I was worried about portion control, but I don't consider that an issue with popcorn.
