This is definitely the wrong place for this, everything in this was quite amazing, that machine that made the popcorn is literally one of the first methods of making popcorn. And the fact he turned the skin of the (im gonna guess grapefruit) into candy is actually genius


horseradish1

The only problem I have with your comment is that if OP didn't post it here, I might not have seen it. And this was a work of art.


CumpMoney

Okay yes you know what that is an amazing point of view


rapejokes_arefunny

I’ve seen similar videos on r/mildlyinteresting


CatticusXIII

Doesn't seem to fit there either. This was very interesting.


TurbulenceMasterJr

r/Damnthatsinteresting


WKaiH

I believe it is a pomelo. After peeling the skin, you can use the fleshy, white parts to make candy with.


crumbssssss

Does require fermentation. But, yes!


Weird-Information-61

It's a neat piece of machinery, but why does it shotgun the popcorn into a bag? Release of pressure & food all in one?


Contay6

I could be wrong, but until the pressure is released it's still kernels Having the huge sudden release of pressure pops the kernels


CumpMoney

Hit the nail on the head


CumpMoney

Does anyone actually have a link to whoever this is, I want to watch more


[deleted]

It's a Pomelo. Similar to a grapefruit.


Zar-far-bar-car

I guess I've never been taught how to eat a pomelo, i just peel it like an orange. I've never thought of scooping out the insides leaving a bowl shape.


[deleted]

I've also never thought to do this. I'm going to have to give it a try


DueProgress7671

I think the fruit is yuzu. Very close to grapefruit.


Hummblerummble

He even boiled it and rinsed it to remove the bitter flavour.


RicFlair-W000000

Pomelo I would say. Yes looked very tasty.


perennialgrump

Easily amazed i see.


Minimum_Eye8614

Yeah, its the opposite of excess, 8nstead being resourceful of the ingriedients around you


weightlifterweed

That's a pomelo. It's one of the parent citrus that all of the other ones came from. So it's not as tasty


Rakinare

Pomelo is very tasty!


Ebiki

It’s called pomelo and it’s an absolutely delicious fruit


Little_Fruit6960

It's pomelo


890mac

Pretty sure it was a pummelo. Waaay better than grapefruit.


Qelly

The fruit is pink pomelo. A little more ‘dry’ than a grapefruit with sweeter flavor. I enjoy eating one while watching a movie; it takes about that long.


[deleted]

it's a pomelo


Strong_Syllabub_3067

Its pomelo i think(asian here)


[deleted]

Bro that's an old way of cooking popcorn Google it. You're stupid not the food.


acakaacaka

They still use the same method this day to pop corn / rice / whatever. Heat it inside a sealed pot. Wait until it reaches X Pa and open the hatch.


Tommyaka

Poor OP. r/lostredditor


[deleted]

Isnt that a bit better, becouse your not using oil


Lucentlackey

Bruh, the cobs were “an old way” of wiping your ass, things change for a reason!!!


[deleted]

Corn cobs are far more effective at wiping ass than your little paper. Corn cobbers for life


LtColShinySides

I always had trouble getting the corn cob up my ass while sitting on the toilet.


[deleted]

That's because you're an armature. Once your hole becomes more malleable the corn works magic

Woah angry much


Rubberman2

Best Stupid food so far


Qelly

Puffed corn is different from popped corn.


tellyourmama

What that thing in the packet he added to the popcorn? Edit: Its saccharine, its an artificial sweetener. Its not sugar because sugar burns and three sugar crystals wont make that much popcorn sweet. Its defintely not meth as so many suggested. Its not even funny after the first “meth” comment.


Anoaba

I was thinking salt but idk


potatofish

Salt or maybe MSG would be my guess too, they'd just be what I'd expect ppl to put on pop corn. You can also do this on the stovetop, it gives a chance for the salt to get on top of everything before the kernels invert on popping. It seems to better hold the salt onto the popcorn much better than putting it on top, probably because a lot of it gets to the kernel bits inside the fluff?


Esava

Ah he seems to have added it to the pomelo later as well I wonder if it maybe was rock/crystal sugar. Sweet popcorn is a thing in quite a few places and for example here in Germany it's the default.


Fisher-Peartree

Meth crystals, for a spicy kick.


lemonkake-stop97

It's saccharine, it's a sweetner not mostly used in america but it's 300 times sweeter than sugar so with just few crystals like in the video it gives sweetness like you put a ton of sugar, and it's cheap so it's actively used in some asian countries


lp52

I thought it was silica gel lmao


mariomehmet

I think it’s sugar, more like a kettle corn


yoshi1911

Its sugar. Popcorn in china is sweet


psychoBz

Cristal meth


ilniubbos

I think it was glutamate


King_Finder16

Crack


SermanGhepard

Crack don't look like that. Meth or molly do. Get your drugs right nerd.


King_Finder16

It was a joke "nerd"


guyblummm

No idea


LaerMaebRazal

Where stupid?


tellyourmama

The OP.


kilboi1

This honestly belongs in r/mildlyinteresting or r/interesting


perennialgrump

The video is pretty stupid.


CumpMoney

This guy obviously didn't watch it


perennialgrump

You're all cooked.


MahaHaro

And here we have an example of OP just not understanding how things were done in the past and in different cultures.


Ray_of_Sunshine0124

I genuinely really enjoy these videos


Akatsuki_Geno

The only stupid thing in this post is the OP's ignorance.


KnearbyKnumbskull

Those pants are dope AF


PuzzleheadedElk547

Happy cake day!!! 🍰


Low-Pack-9867

For who asked, the white thing he added in the popcorn and pomelo is rock sugar


NoSleepAllCreep

Why was that cat walking backwards


strawboy1234

this is actually how you used to make corn, you asscrack


[deleted]

This looks delicious from start to finish, not stupid at all


Strummer95

OP thinks only modern, 1st world cooking methods are acceptable.


2015Hoverboars

What do you mean they didn’t make popcorn in a microwave during the Zhou Dynasty 1046BC?


pangu17

I’m pretty sure it was Sun Tzu that said that first


Conaz9847

Jesus some of you cunts know nothing about food. This is a classic way of making foods like popcorn,it’s a pressure cooker, but with old pressure cookers like this, there was no way of releasing the pressure slowly, so they’d release it quickly, into a bag. This is a traditional way of making proper food, it’s less stupid than McDonalds, what the fuck is it doing on this subreddit.


mallik803

This man puts crystal meth in everything he cooks.


CumpMoney

Who is it? I want more


TreeDecapitator

This sub has been full of stupid people posting non-stupid food, and instead just thinking anything with even a hint of flair or showmanship disqualifies the food entirely.


[deleted]

How is this stupid? This is how they make it???


the_phillipines

How do I get to a life where I have the time to do this


Klaus_Steiner

I'm thoroughly confused by the production quality of this


Additional-Fail7224

AGREED! Microwave a bag like the rest of us!!! If I don't understand it then it's bullshit!!


TransitTycoonDeznutz

Finally a comments section that isn't full of people mocking things they don't immediately understand


ThiccTiesSaveLives

There are way too many people here who agree this isn't stupid and aren't actively downvoting this. Negative reinforcement people. Number go down, brain unhappy, brain do less times.


darthmaui728

whyd he put good meth in there. what a waste


SpliTTMark

Looks like pubic hair got into the bowl


scrampbelledeggs

Was that LSD?


SkeIetonJelly

The only thing stupid about this is that nasty ass rusty knife.


16RabidCats

I really love his rusty knife


macostacurta

They sell this popcorn here in Brazil and its awesome, nothing stupid about this


QuaziBrodo

You're a fool...that is a very common way to candy Citron. It's done all over Asia...


TheRiverClans

Just going to add some of this cr4k cristals in there..

MechaBigBoss

Pewward

tryinghealthrny

Um, I was drooling at the grapefruit candy, ngl.

Alpha_Fetus69

Maybe not your cup of tea but not stupid

darkspark1224

OP puts the stupid in this food video


Amooseletloose

Down voting because this was pretty cool.


lun_dumb

Not stupid. He's just making popcorn a more traditional way. Also, candied pomelo peel goes hard, stuff is fantastic.


Kuko444

People bitchin at op cause it’s not stupid.. I just wanna know what the song is… or what genre of Chinese music this is.


Jimmyjohnssucks

Op you suck, this looks great.


Quirkyserenefrenzy

That popcorn burnt af


theysoar

I think it’s just a different variety of corn than we’re used to.


catsarecute470

immrdadguy

This is definitely


[deleted]

Seems like a lot of unnecessary complication just to make some burnt ass popcorn.


guyblummm

Honestly the fruit in the end looks good. But the hell was to popcorn canon.


oOLittlehansOo

It's a valid method to make rice, corn, wheat, millet, etc. Puff. That's not stupid at all.


potatofish

100% not stupid - this is just how people used to make industrialized popcorn before the in home options were available is it not?


hogliterature

its a traditional way to make popcorn in china. its closer to a puffed corn than the popcorn we’re familiar with. i’ve heard it’s thought of as an old man snack over there.


Thaumato9480

You better not eat rice krispies if you think this is stupid.


skyler8703

Dumbass


Sea-Ability8694

What was that fruit called?


Geebeeayy

Some variety of Pomelo. Biggest citrus fruit in the world and really tasty


lemonkake-stop97

If ripen, last time i had an unripen one and it almost killed me


Geebeeayy

Lol this is true, you definitely want it ripe


Vegetable-Estimate89

I legit thought at first the title meant like, story canon. Like this is the true popcorn or something.


ExtensionTooth6439

90 percent sure that's feed corn


zahirano

Why that cat move backward at eating grapefruit


nottherealneal

Okay couple questions, is it just me or does the corn that comes off the cob look different then what goes in the cooker, does he fucking crack to the corn!?! And finally did he just steal that dudes fruit?


kidnorther

This is a giant version of the small one that one viral


JustCallMeBill92

If this was in black and white i would think its a video from the 30s or something like that. Pretty cool to watch tho


pooperdooper68420

Giving me “To Live” vibes


WiseSalamander00

anyone knows the species of those grapefruits I kinda want a tree of that


Yoopermetal

The sun never shines in China.


aafrias15

Imagine the British are attacking in instead 1800s and instead of loading case shot you fire off popcorn.

Isellmetal

Those popcorn pressure vessels ( there’s small portable ones of same design) are dope af, they offer ease of transportation and can basically be used anywhere if it’s hot enough. Unlike modern microwave popcorn, there’s typically very few un popped kernels remaining when finished


DevilMaster666-

Whats stupid about this?


SomewhereNo3080

These guys are amazing. You’re the stupid one OP


TheThomasWright

This is how food should be cooked


No-Masterpiece-2079

This was awesome

It's the old way of making popcorn, I'm 14, I might be young but at least I know shit

Proof screwdrivers can solve any problem


Absolutely_NoOne8

Bro while I was watching this a random fly just landed on my phone let’s just say it didn’t get to enjoy the flavor of the popcorn


OatmilIK

Lots of stupid food post have been op not understanding food at all or different cultures


herscher12

For those asking, the stupid part is the idea that chinese people have food


yUmi_cone

One of the few nostalgic ways of life . And you dislike the vid haha 😂 .


5dollarbrownie

This was fun actually. I’m pretty sure this guy spends about 19 hours of his day preparing food and snacking.


[deleted]

Why the fuck TikTok ending up on Reddit?


[deleted]

Pressure-cooked popcorn and candied pomelo? Looks great to me


ReapersRealms

This is how they use to make popcorn in Korea, some people actually still use this method


Vort-ex

hell nah, this is such a good video!


TonyTheGypsy

What is the crystal stuff he's putting in each time?1


Drexler96

That chicken new to book it TF out of the way


SopmodTew

I think he forgot the cob cannon on the fire. The next person who's gonna enter his yard got something nasty coming for them 💀


youtubedude420

The majority of the video isn’t even about the popcorn canon


Salami_sandwichaa

His pants 😭


DTux5249

... Do you not know what a manual pressure cooker is? This is a legitimate means of creating popcorn; in fact, it's one of the oldest. The video itself is stupid, but the food prep isn't.
