If I’m not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I’m sharing, I’ll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

      Yeah I had no idea. It’d be fun to tell kids that if you eat them they’ll pop in their belly, similar to the watermelon seeds growing one

      I never (intentionally) ate them, but when I was a kid sometimes I’d hit them with the bottom of a salt shaker. If they were still warm and especially a little bit cracked, they would sometimes then pop. Always thought that was neat.

      (This might be harder to do in a movie theater. I did it on my parents’ table. Probably should have done it on a cutting board or something, but I was a dumb kid.)
