We can put a man on the moon, but we can’t get the popcorn companies to make a bag full of those partially popped kernals that I pick through at the bottom of the bowl.
Damn I loves me those half popped grannies.
:dubious:
Well, I’ll be happy to stop dumping those things in the trash, and see how long it takes to fill up a Ziploc bag I can sent to you.
Ya freak. 
Well that was not what I was expecting at all. Its probably a good thing it was not about what I originally thought but I swear I have seen web sites with banner ads for that.
I don’t even want to know what’s half-popped in that context. I have two or three ideas and none of them are pleasant.
Banner ads for what? Half pooped grannies’ bottoms?
it wasn’t what I expected either…thank goodness
Yup I love those too. Cinn Little and I fight each other for those little nuggets once the rest of the popped corn is gone. But I’m bigger than she is and I paid for that bag. She can have the wholely popped ones. Mwuuuaaaahahahaha!
I’ve always heard them called old maids… but after chipping a tooth on one, I leave 'em alone.
I always heard them called “flopcorns.”
Here ya go!
Extra points for you! Thanks, Dijon! I typed in my zip and found them available only 13 miles away. Looks like I be making another trip to the weird grocery store again.

W00t! I’m pointier!
Holy Moly. Who knew?
I’ll add some stars to Dijon Warlock’s points.
that poor child is beginning to look like a bowl of Lucky Charms…
Oh yeah, I had meant to give you points too, Nurse Carmen, for bringing this to Dijon Warlock’s attention thereby providing him with the opportunity to correct your assumption that Someone Hasn’t Already Marketed This. And just for hanging around, many of us are also saved. The two of you could conquer the world with your supreme ignorance-fighting skills.
With rewards like this, we ought to embrace The Ignorami.
At the other extreme, there’s a product available here in Canada called , IIRC, ‘Popcorn Curls’ that has no hulls at all. It seems to be some sort of white corn paste extruded into the popper, and has little or no substance to it - put one in your mouth, wait a few seconds, and it dissolves into sludge.
I also like the half-popped ones, called ‘widows’ in the Prairies. I’ll have to try the PopNuts when I get a chance. I’ll throw in a loonie (Canadian dollar, for those who don’t know) for both NC and DW!
Ugh!
I guess that kind of preference would save cooking time on pasta, too.
Ewwww! Ignorami cooties!!!
Interestingly enough (depending on your personal standards), I used to buy packages of cheese-filled tortellini (the dry kind, not the fresh kind) and munch on them without cooking. The pasta was rather thin, but still crunchy, and the cheese inside was a nice touch.
Don’t get me wrong: they were good cooked in a meat-based marinara sauce, but they were just as good by the dry handful whilst watching a cheap horror movie at three in the morning.
So, yeah…it kinda does.
Glad I could improve lives in this thread. That’s what makes life worth living.
Well, that and fried SPAM. On Wonder Bread. With NO condiments. Mmmmmm…unexplained SPAM…
