Shopping…
A young man shopping in a supermarket noticed a little old lady following him around. If he stopped, she stopped. Furthermore she kept staring at him. She finally overtook him at the checkout, and she turned to him and said, "I hope I haven't made you feel ill at ease; it's just that you look so much like my late son." He answered, "That's okay." "I know it's silly, but if you'd call out "Good bye, Mom" as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy." She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom." The little old lady waved, and smiled back at him.
Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much ... I only bought 5 items.." The clerk replied, "Yeah, but your Mother said you'd be paying for her things, too."
Moral-Don't trust little Old Ladies! |

Popcorn...
Popcorns are listed by the American Pediatrics Society as one of the top
foods that children under one year old should not eat because it poses a
choking hazard.
Popping popcorn is one of the main uses for microwave ovens. It is such a popular task that most microwaves have a button for it. Popcorns actually aided in the invention of the microwave because the idea came when trying to pop popcorn using microwaves.
Popcorns can pop up to three feet in the air. Almost all of the popcorn in the world is grown in the United States, specifically the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio.
Popcorn needs between 13.5-14% moisture to pop.
Popcorn differs from other types of corn in that is has a thicker hull. The hull allows pressure from the heated water to build and eventually bursts open. The inside starch becomes gelatinous while being heated; when the hull bursts, the gelatinized starch spills out and cools, giving it its familiar popcorn shape.
The peak period for popcorn sales for home consumption is in the fall.
Most popcorn comes in two basic shapes when it's popped: snowflake and mushroom. Snowflake is used in movie theaters and ballparks because it looks and pops bigger. Mushroom is used for candy confections because it doesn't crumble. |
