Random one:
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:
Hey!

Guy 2: woah!
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.
Because that, that is just evil.
