What's your popcorn story?

[Javaman]

So lung killing popcorn additives are in the news today, however, do you have a popcorn story that you must share?

here's mine! :popcorn:

So I'm 4 years old the year 1967...

I'm in the movie theater with my dad and my older brother. Little known to me, my older sister is on the other side of the theater watching the same movie.

What's the movie? Charlie Chaplin's, "The Gold Rush".

so my dad buys popcorn.

I'm munching away when all of a sudden, a piece of husk from one of the kernels gets stuck in the back of my throat.

Now being 4 years old, what do I do? Well the only thing I know how to do, I begin hacking to try and dislodge the piece of husk. I'm hacking up a storm. The poor guy sitting in front of us is looking at me terrified thinking I'm going to puke all over him.

My dad, much to his credit, tries to quiet me and tells me that he's off to get me a cup of water. He gets half way up the isle when the husk comes loose. I yell out in the theater, "I'm okay dad!" in turn the whole theater breaks out into applause.

Later on, my sister said to us, "you know, when I heard that hacking, I told my girlfriend, I think that's my little brother!"

LOL

1. I had a roomie in college...

who would take leftover popcorn, put it in a bowl, add milk and eat it like cereal. I'm still disgusted.

4. My popcorn story?

A goofball in GD was playing a game of chicken with the mods, continuing the discussion of a locked thread, that sort of thing.

So I posted a picture of a guy with a big back of popcorn, not the popcorn smiley, but a picture.

The guy went completely apeshit over it.

6. I love it popped in olive oil. Plain or garlic-flavored.

7. Mine is actually a feed corn story...

in a bag that you can freeze or heat for your neck.

Was at my MIL's house once. I had put the corn sack in the freezer.

I came along and put a glass under the ice dispenser

Out comes corn, everywhere... all over the place.... I'm standing there staring in disbelief, total disbelief. Maybe those years of drunken and drugged time were more damaging than I thought? Maybe I finally went over the edge? It stopped. I opened up the freezer. There sitting where the ice dispenser lever was is the corn sack, with a hole in it from the lever. How it got there I am not sure, I didn't leave it there.

So mystery solved.

It looks like unpopped pop corn

:rofl:

8. 1966, freshman dorm, popping JiffyPop on an IRON

by the way it was totally unsuccessful. We were hungry, desperate, and this was after all 1966. No one had any loose popcorn for the popper, and we had a curfew folks. It was after hours! So four of us in our nightgowns and PJ's popping JiffyPop on an upside down steam iron.
