A TikTok user has recently gone viral for showing people the right way to make microwave popcorn.
People on TikTok are only just discovering the right way to make microwave popcorn, thanks to a new and eye-opening video. It turns out that all these years, people have been microwaving popcorn completely wrong.
The hack involves taking the popcorn out of the microwave and putting it into a bowl, then turning the bag upside down and shaking it so that the un-popped kernels fall out. This hack is supposed to save time and prevent people from eating un-popped kernels, which can crack teeth according to the American Association of Endodontists. The video has received over 60,000 likes and many people have praised the user for the ingenious idea.
The hack, posted by TikTok user Ryan (@ryan1989boy), is supposed to save time in the popcorn-making process. Ryan put the popcorn in the microwave with its packaging as normal, then took it out and put it in a bowl. He then turned the bag upside down while it was still sealed and shook it so all the un-popped kernels fell out of the small opening, leaving him with the bigger popcorn pieces left in the bag.
People in the comments of the TikTok praised Ryan for the ingenious idea, although some already knew of this trick and some admitted to actually enjoying the un-popped kernels. However, dentists warn that eating un-popped popcorn kernels can actually crack your teeth.
