If I’m not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I’m sharing, I’ll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

    Was at a theater in south east Asia. Don’t think I’ve ever had popcorn without kernels in this part of the world except maybe in amusement parks or restaurants.

      What kind of restaurant serves popcorn? Is that an SEA thing? You said below you get the sweet sticky kind, is it like a dessert item?

        I believe in the eastern world, caramel popcorn is the “default”. At least, it definitely is the default here in HK; I’ve never had salty popcorn until I was in the US.

        I’ve been to a few that had some as starters/light snack options. One of the best popcorns I’ve ever had was at a fancy restaurant where it was just at the table before we even sat down.

        I actually didn’t know salty was the normal type of popcorn in the US until my 20s

        I am from South East Asia and I can tell you that it is not a thing over here.

          So am I, and I’ve been to multiple SEA countries and I’ve had popcorn in multiple restaurants. I’ll admit, it’s not common, but it’s definitely a thing that exists.

            I’d rather not be specific, people do weird things with comment history and location. But I’ll say at least that I have been to more than a handful of SEA countries. Never seen the region broken down quite like you’re doing though
