Who the heck decided to heat popcorn to such a high temperature that it actually popped? Why did they think it was safe to eat the resulting fluffy mess? I know I would've ran away if one just exploded like that?
A genius. Popcorn is quite possibly my favorite snack food ever.
I'd guess it was an accident. I'm picturing the scene:
Guy 1: This campfire sure is nice and warm.
Guy 2: Yeah. It sure is. What's with this corn on the cob you brought? It's all hard and stuff.
Guy 1: Oh yeah. It
is hard. It's pretty much inedible.
Guy 2: You're an idiot.
*throws corn at Guy 1, but misses and it goes into fire*Guy 1:

Guy 1: Woah.
Guy 2: Weird. I wonder what this white stuff tastes like.
Guy 1: What the blueberry muffins are you doing?
Guy 2: Hey!! This white stuff's pretty tasty. Could use a little salt, but it's good! I think I'll call it "Delicious Popped up in the Fire Corn".
Guy 1: Dude - you're a genius! Mmmm. But PopCorn is easier to say.
Guy 2: You're right! PopCorn it is!
*Munch munch munch*...so, you're right - it
was a genius! (according to Guy 1)
Popcorn is probably my 2nd favorite, right behind tortilla chips.
I wonder who thought of cooking rolled corn meal in boiling oil? I know it wasn't the campfire dudes.
It seems like wikipedia to the rescue again on the Popcorn question:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PopcornPopcorn was first discovered thousands of years ago by the Native Americans. Some tribes believed that the popping noise was that of an angry god who escaped the kernel.
So you need to replace part 2 with:
Guy 2: woah!
Guy 1: Woah.
Guy 2: Listen! What's that sound?
Guy 1: Something's escaping from the kernel! it gone all white and turned inside out?!?!
Guy 2: What is it? What is it?
Guy 1: It must be the gods!!
Guy 2: So it's now holy corn? Do you think its safe to eat?
Ok, I admit that was lame, but I was trying to put off studying for my next paper for a few more minutes. Time to hit the books again
