Love eating the half popped kernals at the bottom of my popcorn?

Question

I love popcorn, love going to the movies and eating popcorn. However, years ago I came across a product called "Half-Pops" that were those halfway popped crunchy kernals of popcorn. I purchased the product and instantly loved them, they disappeared not long after that and since then I enjoy the little nuggets of corn goodness at the bottom of my microwave or movie popcorn. Does anyone else out there love these things? Also, I found a site that offers the same product with a variety of flavors and wondered if anyone had perhaps ordered from that site www.popnots.com

From what I am hearing damage to teeth is common with these. I do take care when chomping, anything that isn't blatantly half popped or suspect I don't try. Have spent entirely too much money on dental work to ruin my teeth

Answer 1

That's so funny...I thought I was the only one who loved these. :) My husband thinks I'm crazy, but they're the best part. He gets ready to throw the unpopped kernels in the trash and I say, "Wait!!" He now knows to hand the bowl over to me when it's "empty."

Made a mistake once, though, and bit down HARD on one that I thought was partially popped, but it wasn't...ouch!

Answer 2

The kernals at the instant are not all predicted to pop. The manufacturers have calculated that into the quantity they provide in a serving so as which you will get the serving marketed. in case you have basically one a million/2 popping , the equipment is normally previous or previous the right in the previous date....through months. whether you do no longer purchase the popcorn in programs for microwaving and dad them in a pot, range precise. They nonetheless won't all pop.

Answer 3

I used to scavenge everything I could from the bottom of the bag for years and years and years.

Then one day I cracked off part of a tooth. It cost $150 to repair it.

Now I don't go anywhere near a partial pop.

But here's an idea for you. I love popcorn in tomato soup. The kernels deflate in the soup and become more dense and chewy - a real unique experience. Mmmm Mmmm Good.

Answer 4

I love 'em too but cracked my tooth on a corn nut.

Answer 5

no, i actually cracked my tooth on one. but i knew some one who loved those half popped kernels. she would be crunching away totally enjoying them. she has much stronger teeth than i do. =)
