A Popcorn Mystery — Solved

This one’s been on my mind for sometime and has caused a significant number of sleepless nights. Thank God we can put it behind us now…
“CNN is reporting that scientists have solved the problem of unpopped popcorn kernels left in a bag or bowl. The short answer is that unpopped kernels have leaky hulls (seed coats) that prevent the buildup of sufficient pressure to cause the pop.”
If that’s the short answer, I’m fairly sure I don’t want to hear the long one.

That’s like the Seinfeld bit about seedless watermelons: “Yeah, cancer’s bad and all but this has to stop.”
