Burnt popcorn

[Rain Man]

I was chatting with my wife at dinner, and for some reason the topic of roommates came up. As in, college roommates and other platonic arrangements.

She said that one of her roommates at her sorority in college liked to eat burnt popcorn. The girl would intentionally overcook it until it was black, and then eat it. My wife said the smell was not very nice.

I have never heard of anyone liking burnt popcorn. That seems incredibly gross. Does anyone around here eat it, or know anyone who does? I'm wondering if it's a niche market or if that college roommate was one of a kind.

Fuck burnt popcorn

[Rain Man]

**** burnt popcorn

That's my thinking. There are few things more tragic than to be cooking popcorn and you get distracted and all of a sudden you smell that burnt popcorn smell. In my mind, it's a no-brainer that you throw it away. I can't imagine anyone enjoying it.

[mikey23545]

My wife loves it.

[Rain Man]

My wife loves it.

I am speechless.

Does she like it better than non-burnt? Does she burn it intentionally? How did she discover this preference?

[Bugeater]

Oh god no.

[mikey23545]

I am speechless.

Does she like it better than non-burnt? Does she burn it intentionally? How did she discover this preference?

Yeah, I don't think she burns it intentionally, but she thinks of it as dessert at the end of a popcorn meal.

My wife loves it.

Mine too..:shrug:

Mine too..:shrug:

When we pop the little individual bags so we each have our own bag, she asks me to save any burnt kernels I come across in my bag for her.

[Rain Man]

This is shocking to me. I guess it's more common than I thought. Of course, I thought it was non-existent so it's an easy bar to pass.

[luv]

Weird.

[TinyEvel]

Once they go burnt they never go back.

[Rain Man]

Once they go burnt they never go back.

Hey, how's the hurt paw doing? Are you back chasing cars yet?

[luv]

Once they go burnt they never go back.

I miss you.

I can eat burnt popcorn with my left hand at about a 85 degree angle from my body. I have a ways to go til 180 but it's progress.

[cdirty]

i have a lady friend who loves the half burnt half popped kernels and thats about all she eats. (popcorn wise) it was always weird to make popcorn with her.

[cdcox]

I YAC on burnt popcorn.

You just have to toss it the rest of the distance?

I bet the cast is like having a puppy when you're in the park, though. Is it a real chick magnet? I always kind of thought that, but could never find the courage to break my arm and find out for sure.

[TinyEvel]

No, I was in a sling. Upper arm injury (shoulder) there's no cast. It was terrible because everyone I saw would tap me right on the left shoulder and say "how's the arm, buddy?" not knowing they were tapping the broken part. Pretty quickly I developed a lightning fast "wax off" reflex and hit any approaching appendage away with ease. I was like Brandon Carr. At least, my right arm was.

[Rain Man]

Oh. I think slings are anti-chick magnets, sorry to say. People just think you got carpal tunnel or something if you're just in a sling. Unless of course it's also a holster.

[cdcox]

I'm sad to report that ruptured extensor tendons are not chick magnets.

[Rain Man]

And it's hard to even do the "come here" gesture if it's your pointer finger.

[cdcox]

And it's hard to even do the "come here" gesture if it's your pointer finger.

It's my middle finger. Maybe they think I'm giving them the bird? Or making a proposition?

[TinyEvel]

I can affirm slings are chick deterrent.

[BigMeatballDave]

One of the worst smells.

[cdcox]

One of the worst smells.

Yeah, after wearing that sling 24/7 for about 3 weeks it gets pretty rank. Same with finger splints.

[hometeam]

there is no option for "if i burn it, ill eat it, but im not going for it"

[BigMeatballDave]

LOL

I broke my left arm when I was 9 and 11. My arm was rank right after the cast was removed.

Same thing. I was about 10. When they cut mine off all kinds of little objects fell out for some reason I thought scratching in there with things like a pen with the CAP ON was a good idea. It also smelled like spoiled asses.

[mlyonsd]

My wife says I always burn the popcorn in the microwave. I like it, so hell yes.

Best popcorn to me is cooked in bacon grease in a black iron skillet.

[blaise]

It's gross. I do like the occasional burnt potato chip you find in a bag.

[jspchief]

I like burnt popcorn.

You don't burn the entire batch. You just overcook it long enough so that about .5% is burnt. You get an occasional morsel with a handful of popcorn.

[Psyko Tek]

sorry went in on the sorority girls thing

I need to get laid

My friend likes burnt popcorn. He said he burns it on purpose so no one will steal any of it when he makes it. I'm not sure if he genuinely likes it or just tolerates it so he gets the whole bowl for himself.

[Aries Walker]

I used to work with a gaggle of biddies who were on perpetual diets, and would therefore microwave several bags of popcorn every night. I didn't like popcorn before, I detest it now, and burnt popcorn, as far as I'm concerned, is a sign of the Apocalypse. It should be considered a noxious chemical weapon and banned by the Geneva Convention.

[bevischief]

Only on purpose.

[Demonpenz]

I like to take burnt ass popcorn in the mall and see if I can stick around to hear a 100 people say "It smells like burned popcorn in here"

[jspchief]

For the record, we are talking about traditionally made popcorn, pan and oil, aren't we?

Because I have to believe burnt microwave popcorn is the solids equivalent of mustard gas.

[morphius]

My friend likes burnt popcorn. He said he burns it on purpose so no one will steal any of it when he makes it. I'm not sure if he genuinely likes it or just tolerates it so he gets the whole bowl for himself.
and the whole kitchen and the whole living room...

Damn that stuff stinks.

[Predarat]

When I am mad at people at work, I burn popcorn intentionally. It does not bother me too much but can make some of the others miserable. As passive aggressive as that might be, the direct approach of punching people in the mouth will get you fired.

[Bump]

I'd break up with a chick because she liked burnt popcorn. Gross.
