Popcorn...

I was looking at the nutritional facts for microwaveable popcorn and saw that the facts pertaining to unpopped popcorn is included. That is very strange. Stupid FDA rules. Why would anyone give a rats ass about the nutritional content of unpopped popcorn. What about the partially popped popcorn? What is stranger is that the facts are drastically different. (Two tablespoons of unpopped popcorn is the equivalent to one cup of popped popcorn.) Now, two tablespoons of unpopped popcorn has one hundred and sixty calories where one cup of popped has only thirty five. The unpopped has saturated fat; the popped does not.

I eat the unpopped pop corn. Then I lick the inside of the bag.

This is definitely a question which has haunted us throughout the ages, and enlightened minds such as the Dusken have brought it to the forefront, there on top with the question of "Do you believe in love at first sight?". I wish Socrates was here.

Do not forget the philosphical endeavor of what celebrities people look like or the inquiry and insight as to the bowel movements of sidewalks. Why are all these not in the intellectual forum?

Since we talk about intellect, have u ever tried the organic caramel pop-corn of Trader Joe's?

i was deeply musing over this: How many men does it take to pop popcorn?











Three. One to hold the pan and two others to act macho and shake the stove.

Probably because the unpopped popcorn is far more dense? As in you can cram a lot more of the smaller, unpopped kernels into a space vs. the popped stuff. Same way you can get 500 mg of calcium carbonate into a tablet, but the same size tablet can only hold 150-200 mg of calcium citrate. Citrate absorbs up to 8 times better, but is not nearly as dense, thus you can't get as much into a tablet/capsule. As for the saturated fat phenomenon, I couldn't really say.

Wait! I got it! Maybe I'll save the saturated fat question for the one question I can ask god!

Change in density does not necesarily result in loss of mass.

That's a very thought provoking question. You might want to add also why Dark City fetishes are not more common among non Satanists.
