Popcorn Kernels

My Freshman Year in college I attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  I got in through the Agricultural Department.  I enrolled as an Agricultural Engineering Student.  We had an intro to Ag engineering course called AG100.  This was an easy class.  We did several things to introduce us to the mind set of Agriculture.  So one day we were in a Lab Setting.  We were there to do a study on popcorn.  In fact, Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn Company had furnished the Agriculture Department to do a study on their popcorn.  One of the studies was done as a tutorial by us freshman.  The graduate students had already performed the study we simply re-did it as training exercise.  We did numerous tests on unpopped kernels.  One of them was seeing if putting raw kernels in the freezer or refrigerator would decrease the unpopped kernel rate.  Their were like four groups and I checked all the numbers.  Cooling your raw kernels does not decrease the unpopped kernel rate some people thought it did.  So keeping your kernels at room temperature yields the same results as freezing them.  When the lab was over we had all this popcorn left over.  And the instructor asked if anyone wanted it.  I wanted the huge bag, but I thought I would look silly walking around campus with a huge bag of popcorn which was in a see through plastic bag.  There was this really cute girl in our class who gladly, with a smile, took the popcorn.  Later on in the day I saw her walking with the cooked popcorn in the same bag, and thought "Well I guess it doesn't look that silly" or something along those lines.
