Unpopped popcorn? This hack will get them out of the bag

Homemade popcorn is a regular feature in the FavorFlav editorial office. Or, well, by making it ourselves, we mean putting the bags in the microwave and impatiently waiting until every kernel of corn has popped. But that’s exactly what doesn’t always work. There are always a few stubborn unpopped kernels left behind. And with this hack, you can easily get those hard kernels out of the bag.

Every popcorn lover recognizes it: those rock-hard kernels that almost crack a molar. Annoying. But picking every unpopped kernel out of the bowl before taking a handful of popcorn… This TikTok hack is therefore very welcome.

When you take the bag of popcorn out of the microwave, it is often still completely closed. By opening the bottom just a little, you create a kind of slit through which you can easily shake the hard kernels out of the bag. Is the bag already slightly open? Then it’s even easier—just take a look!
