whilst we were popping the corn for her box, lottie became fascinated with the fact this little yellow pod turns into this big fluff...the penny dropped "mummy, that's why its called popcorn, the corn has popped!" which of course led to a small statement by boring mummy "Corn is able to pop because its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy filling. This allows pressure to build inside the kernel until an explosive "pop" results"
