Microwave Popcorn

It's snack time!!!

Yeah, I got one Microwave Popcorn from Kok Sheng, which is natural in flavor. He got this popcorn from his colleague who came back from US. Thanks to him, I got the chance to try the microwave popcorn from US. =p


It comes with a packet and it came from Residence Inn Marriott.

The instruction to proper take care of this microwave popcorn.

Well, I put into my house microwave, and let it pop around 3 minutes. I stopped the microwave when popping slows to 2 to 3 seconds between pops.

Wow, the bag became so big size!

Finally, I opened the bag and the aroma spread around the kitchen .

Wow, the popcorn looked very fresh and tasty right? The flavor is a bit salty but it is enough to make my mouth water! Yum!


Some facts about popcorn:
1) It is said that popcorn originated in Mexico.
2) Popcorn that do not pop are called "old maids."
3) Popcorn is low in calories as compared to other snacks. A cup of air-popped popcorn would have 31 calories and a cup of oil-popped only 55 per cup.
4) The Guinness book of records have recorded the world's largest popcorn ball which is 12 feet in diameter and contains 2,000 pounds of corn, 40,000 pounds of sugar, 280 gallons of corn syrup and 400 gallons of water..phew!
5) National Popcorn Day is celebrated on the 19th January.


That's all for tonight, I'm going to sleep due to darn tired! See ya around!
