My aunt got me a big wooden bowl in college and I was poor so I ate popcorn out of it. I noticed the popcorn tasted weird for quite some time. I finally put two and two together when the coating had all come off the bottom. The hot popcorn and oil had been removing the God knows what shiny finish and I had been eating it. :(

Hopefully just food grade mineral oil and beeswax if it was a wooden bowl.

It was one of those you might get at Pier 1 or Kohl’s back then and had a really plasticky coating. Not my best moment.
