Disturbing Foodstuffs #1

Unlike other online personalities (Scott), I have not striven to achieve a perfect pop. I have, in fact, not thought particularly hard about popcorn. This is due to two reasons: 1) I only recently had a microwave, and I’m admitting this at the risk of being socially outcast, and 2) I do not see myself, in any way, a popcorn-popping connoisseur, and would hate to disgrace others who have said goals in mind.

However, it is beyond me that a pack of popcorn should be so unpopped that it would trigger me to Google “how to re-pop popcorn”. While a pinch of under-performing kernels would be disappointing at worst, this pack had me appalled and, incidentally, gastronomically unsatisfied.

 

Fig 1: A disgusting sum of highly disappointing kernels stared back at me repugnantly.
