What’s This Creature?
Look again! This is not dead coral or some creature from the deep. These are corn kernels that have popped on their cob. Yes, it can happen, but people don’t make popcorn this way. No one ever does this at all. If you try, this is what you’ll get.
It looks weird, you can even use it to scare kids — but don’t. It might be great fun when you’re bored, or even experimenting but not so great when you’re looking forward to popcorn, that’s because many of the corn kernels won’t pop at all and you’ll end up disappointed.
