Grab some popcorn and get ready to learn. Inspired by this answer on Quora.
You have to use – yep – popping corn, a type of corn that, crucially, has a hard outer shell. Just in case you’ve never made popcorn yourself and haven’t seen it before, this is what it looks like before it pops:
When there’s no more room to expand inside the kernel and the pressure gets too high, it explodes, as demonstrated in this GIF from a video by the Slow Mo Guys.
Around 212 degrees [Fahrenheit] the water turns into steam and changes the starch inside each kernel into a superhot gelatinous goop. The kernel continues to heat to about 347 degrees. The pressure inside the grain will reach 135 pounds per square inch before finally bursting the hull open.
As it explodes, steam inside the kernel is released. The soft starch inside the popcorn becomes inflated and spills out, cooling immediately and forming into the odd shape we know and love.
According to Speciality Corns by Arnel R. Hallauer, butterfly popcorn (right) “is associated with tenderness and freedom from hulls” whereas mushroom popcorn (left) is more suited to coating with flavourings because it can withstand handling.
With mushroom popcorn, the kernel expands evenly. But with butterfly popcorn, the starch inside comes out of wherever the kernel’s skin breaks, basically turning it inside out. You can see butterfly popcorn forming in these GIFs:

Grrl power!
After Anthony Weiner’s spokeswoman Barbara Morgan called former campaign intern Olivia Nuzzi “slutbag,” “bitch” and “twat,” among other things, she apologized for getting caught using “inappropriate language in what I thought was an off-the-record conversation.”
Nuzzi took to Twitter this morning to announce her acceptance of the apology. Will she revise her Twitter bio?
http://twitter.com/#!/cheems_/status/362545241309446145For now, the bio remains.
