Very well... But they're all only half-popped and have rock hard kernels.

And if you eat any, they will give you those "popcorn splinters" between your gums and teeth

I love the half popped ones. I’ve debated trying to figure out if I can make only half-popped kernels with a sous vide.

Granted. You feel something on the palms of your hands. You look at them and see small golden brown blisters that are growing. They continue to grow until they reach the size of a popcorn kernel. At which point they pop into popcorn. It's the the most delicious buttery popcorn you've ever had. But the blisters don't stop appearing, and now they're starting to get painful.

You monster. I hate that I love this.

Granted. Corn stalks begin violently bursting from your father's mouth. His hand reaches out as you back away. He falls to the ground, endless corn kernels pouring from his open mouth.

"Pop?" You whisper through the tears.

Oh man so underated!

Granted. You're given a bag of popcorn kernels. It's not microwavable.

It's actually pretty easy to pop those. You just need some oil and salt and voila! Homemade Popcorn

They didn't wish for a heat source.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah I do it all the time. It's a low pendulum swing on this wish, they didn't ask for anything large or vague.

Granted. I hope you like your new braces. They are permanent.

Granted. The corn was contaminated while in storage, and now you have dysentery.

Popcorn field caught in wildfire causes chaos in local community.
