Typing away at speeds above 60 words per minute, batting away every crazy quest from your boss, finishing all those tasks you’ve procrastinated months over – you’re in the work zone, invincible and undefeatable. Then, suddenly and without warning, an odor overcomes you. Its familiar semi-sweet tones trick you into sucking in a heavy breath, but the acrid aftereffect throws you completely off your game. Your face squinchess, your productivity levels dip to zero, you can’t even browse the internet, and the horrid smell simply won’t go away. Like on so many other occasions in offices all across the country, you’ve been the victim of someone burning their microwave popcorn in the office kitchen.
Office Kitchen Odors
By the way, making popcorn isn’t the only office kitchen activity that causes bad smells. Popcorn joins a long list of foods that really shouldn’t be dealt with in an office kitchen, such as fish, eggs, microwavable meals, cabbage, brussel sprouts, dishes that are greasy or contain strong spice, seafood, and even kimchi. Popcorn when it burns, however, breaks down and releases a multitude of tiny, oderful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. Because these VOCs are small and light, they stay airborne for extended periods. In addition, cooking popcorn usually involves some type of oil, which can trap these VOCs longer on surfaces. Hence why without intervention the smell of burnt popcorn can linger in offices for hours and even days.
It’s Better to Order
While bad smells alone should be enough reason to order popcorn and food more generally for delivery, there are others. First, ordering in saves a load of previous time, leaving everyone with more time to take a break and truly enjoy their meal or snack. Second, ordering food in gives you more options than what could be made in an office kitchen and as the food. Third, cooking at work can come off unprofessional, both for clients and other colleagues. Fourth, kitchens aren’t always the safest places, making the risk of injury high. How many times has the fire alarm bell gone off in your office due to something kitchen related? Above all, ordering out helps small businesses in your area to thrive.
