So I finished this 12½ pound jug of popcorn tonight...I bought it as a gift to Kim for the birthday she had after we'd separated but while she was still living in the house. I inherited it after she left it behind. TODAY turns out to actually be one day after the 5th anniversary of her breaking up with me. There are no coincidences, but it's funny how things work sometimes. I have popcorn MAYBE once a month, maybe even once every two months - feels like I'm always somewhere outside the house during popcorn times. Anyway....I bought this Presto "PopLITE" air popper back when I was a sophomore in college - I will spare you the exact year if you don't know it but know it definitely started with a "1" - and I wonder if you can even still buy things like air poppers in 2019. These days everyone just uses a pot with some super heated bacon grease in it, right? I think I can still buy regular size bags of unpopped corn at Cub....doubtful I'll spring for the Costco option again and I kinda like the white popcorn more than the yellow stuff anyway. I definitely like popping corn that wasn't bought almost five years ago. I didn't really have a point here other than I still think about this stuff sometimes. ...a lot of the time. |
