THE 6 TYPES OF POPCORN EATERS AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU

Bowl of popcorn

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the food lovers of online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat and what to cook. This time our chefs serve you: the different types of popcorn eaters.

Adeline loves food, a lot and often, both at home and out. Now that often goes well, but sometimes it doesn't. In the series Sunday Roast, she shares her wonders. This time she examines the popcorn-eating human.

Welcome to some enlightening popcorn propaganda. The magical stuff that really shouldn't only be consumed from a cardboard box in the dark. This cleverly popped corn kernel is suitable for so many more occasions, although this may depend on the type of popcorn eater. I've seen scenes that really aren't suitable to be reenacted in public without age restrictions and warnings.

Last Supper
For when you think: popcorn must have originated from a stray corn kernel in a frying pan, that's not the case. Popcorn apparently dates back to 3600 BC. And suddenly you see that last supper in a whole different light. The fact that we enjoy a nice cardboard box with our movie in Europe is thanks to Columbus, who brought the popped kernels back from his trip to America. By the way, they are also the main shareholders of popcorn there and seem to devour stadiums full every year.

Back to the popcorn eaters with all their related peculiarities. Tell us, which one are you and which ones do you know?

The Lizard
This person actually prefers to tongue the popcorn bowl. He or she positions themselves just above it and licks the popcorn in piece by piece. From the outside, this person seems very normal, but behind closed doors...

The Labrador
Type ‘I prefer to shove my whole face into the bowl to get those darn delicious, airy pops inside’. This type of popcorn eater goes all-in. You see them first near a bottle of wine and they leave parties last, particularly insatiable but exceptionally sociable.

The Juggler
Catapults popcorn one piece at a time into the mouth, after a triple somersault and a backward twirl. Goes with knees slightly bent and upper body curved in lambada position after popcorn to ingeniously catch it (just with the mouth, yes). This type of eater is adventurous and likes to be the center of attention.

The Priss
The person who fishes the popcorn out of the bowl one by one as if it were crudités. He or she might just say halfway through the cardboard (small size) box that they have had enough. This type goes against nature in every way, because popcorn is meant to be devoured. Not to be trusted, therefore.

The Kernel Biter
The box seems empty, but there in the depths shines one last popcorn kernel and we leave nobody behind. This is the tenacious one. This type gets everything out of life. This man or woman always sees the positive side of the kernel. Gnaws their way through everything. Is not a quitter, shouts ‘boooo-yaaaah’ while eating and knows how to discover the soft side of that rock-hard kernel. What a man, what a woman.

But whatever type you are, you all end up with those annoying little skins between your teeth, yes.
