POPPACORN

When you think of the perfect combinations of food, what comes into your mind? I was watching food network with my girlfriend and the food panelists claimed that breakfast had the perfect combination of sweet maple syrup, yet the saltiness of bacon, with some sort of starch to top it all off. My initial thoughts were that I agreed with these panelists because of the fact that breakfast was truly a work of art. The perfect blend, it can’t get any better. I thought to myself, what’s the first thing that excites me when I wake up? What’s the one meal I could eat at any time of the day? BREAKFAST! However, I was immediately corrected by my girlfriend as she told me that the perfect combination of texture and taste was POPCORN. I had to pause for a moment and think about it, but eventually I was convinced that popcorn consisted of a perfect combination. It’s white, fluffy, crispy, puffy all at the same time! Name another food that is crispy, puffy, and fluffy? There is no food that comes close to the variety of textures that popcorn consists of. Secondly, we need to look at the amount of flavors and different packages that popcorn comes in. If you’re feeling fat at the movies or at home, you get the big jug of popcorn and don’t share with anyone. However, if you are constantly teased about being fat, you get lightly flavored popcorn, with a hint of butter and get the smallest jug there. The flavors range from caramel, plain, buttered, rainbow, salted, and the flavors just go on and on. You can even throw some kakimochi in there, some gummy bears, anything you want, you just throw it in there and it’ll probably work. Popcorn is America’s biggest snack for a reason. It’s simply the best.
