Popping corn on the cob in the microwave

I always thought that popcorn was made from regular corn, but it turns out I was totally wrong. To make  popcorn, the kernels need to have much stronger shells, and a completely different type of corn is used. To pop it, it's the same as regular popcorn, and all I have to do is put the whole cob in the microwave.

"My efficiency was approximately 92%, which is honestly pretty bad. Theoretically, every kernel should convert to popcorn. But this was already more than I needed for snacking, so I was okay with it. Cleanup was pretty easy. The cob can just be thrown away. The popcorn I stored in a paper bag until I was ready to eat it. The microwave was cleaned with a weak solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. I think if I were to do this experiment again, I would try performing the reaction in the presence of butter which, if done correctly, could improve efficiency and flavor."

The way he ate the popcorn for once made me feel like he’s a normal human and not some mad scientist lmao

[EuphoricAmbient]

Ah yes vertical popcorn, my favourite variation.

It's very impressive how the camera man can fit right inside the microwave.

Seeing the kernels pop in the microwave like that was like watching a cartoon where it was hot outside.

considering your microwave's past, i wouldn't be suprised if what you just ate was radioactive

NileRed: You shouldn't eat anything from a lab.
Also NileRed: It's pretty good.

“HELP ME! I AM..MUTATING!”
“mmm tasty popcorn”

My childhood dream of seeing a whole corn turned into popcorn came true, thank you

[RADkate]

he actually drilled a hole into his microwave, what a mad lad

[lambdaman]

I love how the kernels pop so quickly it looks like they're part of a stop-motion animation.

0:46 the popcorn showed middle finger lmao

[SpicyClover]

He had me until he said, "It's pretty good!"
Knowing damn well that freshly popped corn didn't have a speck of salt or butter on it.

_"You've been lying to me you damn corn!!"_
*violently throws it at the wall*

My great grandfather’s family grew popcorn on their farm in western New York in the early 20th century, until about the 1920s. One year they had a serious downturn in demand for popcorn, selling almost none of it, so they had to live off their popcorn harvest and milk from their cow for almost a full year. To this day, my family still has a tradition of “popcorn and milk” to remember their hardships and celebrate their victories. Thanks for the fun video!

1:16 I really liked that one kernel that popped late and threw the corn back up a bit!

[SURAJ]

Lol, the "Unregistered microwave spycam" caught me off guard 😂

[paperluigi]

You know, this could be an attraction at a carnival or country fair; watching popcorn cook live from a cob.

[LegoAnimations]

You have to tell more about the Unregistered Microwave Spycam V2 that can withstand the power of microwave.

A local farmstand in my town actually sells this type of popping corn. Getting the kernels off of the cob is kind of hard and hurts a little, so it is indeed more convenient just to cook the whole thing, cob and all.
