If I’m not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I’m sharing, I’ll just eat them.
Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.
So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?
Throw them at small children
This is why they give you a straw
Was the new Deadpool, no kids to target 😔
Put them in a baggie, then after the movie go to the popcorn people and loudly demand replacements that have been properly and thoroughly popped.
I like the way you think
demand that they give your unpopped kernels a second round in the machine
I eat them if they have at least a crack in them. I like the cronch.
TIL some people eat them.
Yeah I had no idea. It’d be fun to tell kids that if you eat them they’ll pop in their belly, similar to the watermelon seeds growing one
Yell “the back of yo head is ridiculous” and then spit them at whoever turns around
Since I always add salt and shake my popcorn they fall to the bottom and don’t cause any issues. So I guess I accidentally handle them by moving them somewhere I don’t end up noticing them while eating.
Well, at home at least. Can’t remember when I noticed a kernel at a theater.
Ah, my go to has always been sweet popcorns, so I guess the kernels stick and don’t fall to the bottom. I should try violently shaking my popcorn next time to see if that helps them unstick and sink
I bring a small torch lighter and pop them out as I go
Eat them.
Spit them out, high and wide. The air is going to dry them.
/s
Throw them to someone near to the projection.
I always hated un-popped kernels and just the other pieces that always get stuck in my teeth and throat (I assume pieces of the outside of the kernels) and just quit getting popcorn as a result.
Eat them out of stubbornness
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an unpopped kernel at a theater.
Was at a theater in south east Asia. Don’t think I’ve ever had popcorn without kernels in this part of the world except maybe in amusement parks or restaurants.
What kind of restaurant serves popcorn? Is that an SEA thing? You said below you get the sweet sticky kind, is it like a dessert item?
I’ve been to a few that had some as starters/light snack options. One of the best popcorns I’ve ever had was at a fancy restaurant where it was just at the table before we even sat down.
I actually didn’t know salty was the normal type of popcorn in the US until my 20s
Ask for an empty bag to toss the bad kernels into
