Popping Corn on the Cobb is So Cool!

And so I heard that you could pop popcorn straight off the cobb and that sounded kind of fun so I decided to try it out with some sweetcorn. I put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and while it got really hot – none of the kernels popped. And so I wrapped it up in foil like you do when you put it on the grill – that was a bad idea. Then I found that regular sweet corn is way to soft to pop and you have to use a different type of corn where the shells of the kernels are much stronger. So I got some of this corn and I could tell right away that the kernels were way harder and tougher. So I put one into the microwave and, after a while, sure enough, they started to pop up a storm. Then we pulled out some of the popcorn, added some salt, and started to munch.
