“http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/popcorn_s_secret heh.. well shoot.. impress your friends.. now you know the rest of the story. "It's long been known that popcorn kernels must have a precise moisture level in their starchy center — about 15 percent — to explode. But Purdue University researchers found the key to a kernel's explosive success lies in the composition of its hull. Unpopped kernels, it turns out, have leaky hulls that prevent the moisture pressure buildup needed for them to pop and lack the optimal hull structure that allows most kernels to explode." last edited: 4/21/05 4:39:43 PM” 4:38:58 PM 4/21/05 “I wonder how much that study cost!?” 5:11:38 PM 4/21/05 “You get the bill every year.” 5:19:44 PM 4/21/05
