1 cup unpopped popcorn (two runs through normal hot-air poppers)
 1 cup brown sugar
 1/4 cup corn syrup
 1 stick butter 
 salt 
 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
 You must have a hot-air popcorn popper, paper grocery bags, and a
 microwave.  No other kind of popcorn popper will work, I don't know
 why.  Also I recommend glass bowls.
 Put butter, sugar, and corn syrup in glass dish.  Microwave on high
 four minutes, stir until butter is completely melted.  Stir in salt
 and baking soda, mixture will bubble a bit.  Meanwhile, pop the
 popcorn into a double-bagged paper grocery bag.  Pour the caramel
 mixture over the popcorn in the bag, make sure to scrape the bowl.
 Close the bag tightly and shake really well to coat all the popcorn.
 Put the whole bag back in the microwave and cook for 2 minutes
 more.
