"Old Maids"

I always hate that there are so many of those kernals that don't pop.
Fun subject. Sometimes I try to re-pop them although I know we’re not supposed to! I like the nice contrast and detail in this one

Glad you found a use for them as a photo subject.

They make for an interesting shot. I usually let the popcorn go for as long as I can to get the least amount of them. I agree with your frustration!

Just don't crunch down on one of those unpopped ones ... I once did and broke a molar!

Not to mention what they do to your teeth......ouch to Issi!

I don’t like popcorn at all but the same thing used to happen to me when I made it for the kids. They make for a nice shot

So frustrating but a great photo opportunity.

I agree but I’ve never heard them called that!
May 29th, 2023  
Agree entirely. Nice shot.
May 29th, 2023  
Totally agree and if you miss one, a cracked tooth!!

Never heard that expression applied to popcorn before - never realised some of them didn't pop! Then again I haven't had this for years and have only ever bought it already popped.

@randystreat We're Get Pushed partners this week Kathy so how about a picture featuring a mirror in some shape or form?

Lovely shot

Has been a long time ago I`ve eat those.

@grammyn I don't know why you couldn't repop them. thanks Katy.
@shutterbug49 I finished the popcorn and was a bit disappointed that so many didn't pop,
@olivetreeann I wait until nothing pops for 5 seconds then stop cooking. I make mine in the microwave.
@jamibann I know. They are hard. Never broke a tooth...yet. At least not on popcorn kernels.
@casablanca You're right.
@kjarn I've always liked popcorn, but homemade tastes so different than movie popcorn and popcorn from the store.
@wakelys Thanks Sue.
@pusspup Funny name isn't it.
@johnfalconer Thanks John,
@craftymeg I haven't done that yet. Hope I don't. I try to be careful.
@fbailey Thanks for the challenge. Yes, you see them more when you pop the corn yourself although it is in store bought too.
@ziggy77 Thanks Jo.
@pyrrhula I like popcorn and make it periodically.

@randystreat I read somewhere sometime that you were not supposed to do that, but I never could figure out why
May 30th, 2023  
I love popcorn!

@franbalsera Me too.
