Zusammenfassung:	An expendable popcorn bag (10) includes upper and lower opposing face panels (12, 14) connected together by longitudinally extending, centrally projecting gussets (16, 18) that are integral with the face panels (12, 14). Prior to popping, the gussets (16, 18) are folded between the upper and lower face panels (12, 14) of the bag (10) and the bag is sealed at each end. A microwave heating susceptor (14b) is provided in the lower panel (14) of the bag (10) or elsewhere in the bag if desired. During popping of the popcorn kernels (13), the bag (10) increases in size and the gussets (16, 18) expand outwardly as the bag (10) becomes filled with popped kernels hot vapor and steam. In an alternative modified form of the invention, a stand (17, 6) is provided to elevate the bag. The stand can be pre-erected, or erected or collapsed during use. In another alternative modified form of the invention, a stand (84) is an initially detached, pre-erected tray-shaped stand. During microwave cooking, a heat-activated adhesive bonds the tray-shaped stand to the bag. L'invention concerne un sac de pop-corn dilatable (10) qui comprend un côté inférieur et un côté supérieur (12, 14) raccordés l'un à l'autre par des goussets (16, 18) formant saillie de manière centrale et s'étendant longitudinalement, qui font partie intégrante des panneaux frontaux (12, 14). Avant la cuisson des grains, les goussets (16, 18) sont repliés entre les panneaux supérieur et frontal (12, 14) du sac, ledit sac (10) étant scellé à chaque extrémité. Un élément sensible aux rayonnements électromagnétiques (14b) est prévu dans le panneau inférieur (14) du sac (10) ou ailleurs dans le sac si on le souhaite. Lors de l'éclatement des grains de maïs (13), la taille du sac augmente et les goussets (16, 18) s'étendent vers l'extérieur au fur et à mesure que le sac (10) se remplit de la vapeur dégagée par les grains éclatés. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, un socle (17, 6) est prévu pour surélever le sac. Ledit socle peut être pré-monté, ou monté ou replié en cours d'utilisation. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, le socle (84) consiste en un plateau pré-monté initialement séparé. Lors de la cuisson aux micro-ondes, un adhésif activé par la chaleur colle le socle en forme de plateau au sac.
