No More Old Maids

I am a popcorn lover, maybe not lover but I like the stuff a lot. The biggest annoyance of popcorn - other than it getting stuck in your teeth - is old maids. Old maids, for those who don't know, are the unpopped popcorn kernals at the bottom of every bowl and bag of popcorn. Well, Purdue University researchers have discovered why old maids don't pop. Perhaps this will lead to less nasty kernals for me to bite and hurt myself on. We can only hope.
