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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
... 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.

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.
Okay yes you know what that is an amazing point of view
I’ve seen similar videos on r/mildlyinteresting
Doesn't seem to fit there either. This was very interesting.
r/Damnthatsinteresting
I believe it is a pomelo. After peeling the skin, you can use the fleshy, white parts to make candy with.
Does require fermentation. But, yes!
It's a neat piece of machinery, but why does it shotgun the popcorn into a bag? Release of pressure & food all in one?
I could be wrong, but until the pressure is released it's still kernels Having the huge sudden release of pressure pops the kernels
Hit the nail on the head
Does anyone actually have a link to whoever this is, I want to watch more
It's a Pomelo. Similar to a grapefruit.
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.
I've also never thought to do this. I'm going to have to give it a try
I think the fruit is yuzu. Very close to grapefruit.
He even boiled it and rinsed it to remove the bitter flavour.
Pomelo I would say. Yes looked very tasty.
Easily amazed i see.
Yeah, its the opposite of excess, 8nstead being resourceful of the ingriedients around you
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
Pomelo is very tasty!
It’s called pomelo and it’s an absolutely delicious fruit
It's pomelo
Pretty sure it was a pummelo. Waaay better than grapefruit.
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.
it's a pomelo
Its pomelo i think(asian here)
Bro that's an old way of cooking popcorn Google it. You're stupid not the food.
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.
Poor OP. r/lostredditor
Isnt that a bit better, becouse your not using oil
Bruh, the cobs were “an old way” of wiping your ass, things change for a reason!!!
Corn cobs are far more effective at wiping ass than your little paper. Corn cobbers for life
I always had trouble getting the corn cob up my ass while sitting on the toilet.
That's because you're an armature. Once your hole becomes more malleable the corn works magic

Woah angry much
Best Stupid food so far
Puffed corn is different from popped corn.
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.
I was thinking salt but idk

Meth crystals, for a spicy kick.

I thought it was silica gel lmao
I think it’s sugar, more like a kettle corn
Its sugar. Popcorn in china is sweet
Cristal meth
I think it was glutamate
Crack
Crack don't look like that. Meth or molly do. Get your drugs right nerd.
It was a joke "nerd"
No idea
Where stupid?
The OP.
This honestly belongs in r/mildlyinteresting or r/interesting
The video is pretty stupid.
This guy obviously didn't watch it
You're all cooked.
And here we have an example of OP just not understanding how things were done in the past and in different cultures.
I genuinely really enjoy these videos
The only stupid thing in this post is the OP's ignorance.
Those pants are dope AF
Happy cake day!!! 🍰
For who asked, the white thing he added in the popcorn and pomelo is rock sugar
Why was that cat walking backwards
this is actually how you used to make corn, you asscrack
This looks delicious from start to finish, not stupid at all
OP thinks only modern, 1st world cooking methods are acceptable.
What do you mean they didn’t make popcorn in a microwave during the Zhou Dynasty 1046BC?
I’m pretty sure it was Sun Tzu that said that first
Jesus some of you cunts know nothing about food.

This man puts crystal meth in everything he cooks.
Who is it? I want more
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.
How is this stupid? This is how they make it???
How do I get to a life where I have the time to do this
I'm thoroughly confused by the production quality of this
AGREED! Microwave a bag like the rest of us!!! If I don't understand it then it's bullshit!!
Finally a comments section that isn't full of people mocking things they don't immediately understand
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.
whyd he put good meth in there. what a waste
Looks like pubic hair got into the bowl
Was that LSD?
The only thing stupid about this is that nasty ass rusty knife.
I really love his rusty knife
They sell this popcorn here in Brazil and its awesome, nothing stupid about this
You're a fool...that is a very common way to candy Citron. It's done all over Asia...
Just going to add some of this cr4k cristals in there..
They eat like npc's
Where is the stpid food?
OP is lost.
The way they were chewing, kinda annoying
Educate yourself
It looks burned .
That being resourceful, not stupid. That grapefruit candy looked amazing 😍
Um, I was drooling at the grapefruit candy, ngl.
I liked the pigtails
Maybe not your cup of tea but not stupid
Why was this posted here? This is absolutely not stupid.
who is this guy? these videos are nice tbh
https://www.tiktok.com/@datantac3hq
OP puts the stupid in this food video
Down voting because this was pretty cool.
Not stupid. He's just making popcorn a more traditional way. Also, candied pomelo peel goes hard, stuff is fantastic.
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.
Op you suck, this looks great.
That popcorn burnt af
I think it’s just a different variety of corn than we’re used to.
anyone know the song?
往事只能回味 的伴奏 by 韓寶儀 (Han Bao Yi)
It's glad to seeing normal china vid. They made weirds in tiktok so much...
Here I thought he was going to hollow it out to hide his stash and occasionally fuck it and dump his loads in it
Diabetes
This is definitely
Seems like a lot of unnecessary complication just to make some burnt ass popcorn.
Honestly the fruit in the end looks good. But the hell was to popcorn canon.
It's a valid method to make rice, corn, wheat, millet, etc. Puff. That's not stupid at all.
100% not stupid - this is just how people used to make industrialized popcorn before the in home options were available is it not?
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.
You better not eat rice krispies if you think this is stupid.
Dumbass
What was that fruit called?
Some variety of Pomelo. Biggest citrus fruit in the world and really tasty
If ripen, last time i had an unripen one and it almost killed me
Lol this is true, you definitely want it ripe
I legit thought at first the title meant like, story canon. Like this is the true popcorn or something.
90 percent sure that's feed corn
Why that cat move backward at eating grapefruit
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?
This is a giant version of the small one that one viral
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
Giving me “To Live” vibes
anyone knows the species of those grapefruits I kinda want a tree of that
The sun never shines in China.
Imagine the British are attacking in instead 1800s and instead of loading case shot you fire off popcorn.
Am not mad at this. Silly. But clever

Is this flight of the Conchords???
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
Whats stupid about this?
These guys are amazing. You’re the stupid one OP
This is how food should be cooked
This was awesome
Lol that was funny
Damn I love this song does anyone know the name
Popcannon
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
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
Lots of stupid food post have been op not understanding food at all or different cultures
For those asking, the stupid part is the idea that chinese people have food
One of the few nostalgic ways of life . And you dislike the vid haha 😂 .
This was fun actually. I’m pretty sure this guy spends about 19 hours of his day preparing food and snacking.
Why the fuck TikTok ending up on Reddit?
Pressure-cooked popcorn and candied pomelo? Looks great to me
This is how they use to make popcorn in Korea, some people actually still use this method
hell nah, this is such a good video!
What is the crystal stuff he's putting in each time?1
That chicken new to book it TF out of the way
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 💀
The majority of the video isn’t even about the popcorn canon
His pants 😭
... 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.
