Last week was Mad Scientist Day for Kid One.
His science project asked the question, "Which popcorn brand pops the best?"
Being the giver I am, I bought him a wig and helped him paint his face to look like he was in an explosion. I even glued popcorn pieces all over his wig...and then they fell out.
Together we counted EVERY single kernal in the TWELVE bags of popcorn exploding from my microwave. (Each bag had about 400-450 total kernals...who knew.?) At first the buttery aroma made us giddy but by the last bag we were opening the windows and swearing off popcorn forever. (We're over that now.)
Do you know which brand is the best?
I'll tell you.
On average...
Act II pops 88% of the kernals.
Jolly Time pops 88% of the kernals.
Orville Redenbacher pops a whopping 91% of the kernals.
Oh please, hold your applause. We were happy to bring you this public service announcement. Don't say I never gave you anything. Wisdom is priceless.

Who knew? I feel a little smarter now, so thank you.
You know, I am getting to the point where I can literally hear you as I read your writings.
He's from Val Paraiso Indiana...not too far from me!
You need a new microwave! :)
And you are one great mom! :)
Now I'm craving popcorn! Love the outfit too.
Ooohh! I'll have to keep this in mind for the day my child has to come up with an experiment idea. I'm so lacking in creativity when it comes to stuff like this. The outfit is great!
