At first when I saw he put 120 years old in the thumbnail and the year 1910 in the title, I was upset cause I thought that meant the thumbnail was clickbait. Then I realized 1910 was actually about 120 year ago. Now I’m just upset cause I feel ancient.
Videos that use clickbait titles and thumbnails should be auto flagged & deleted. Arrows, circles, emojis, ALL CAPS, exaggerated faces, etc. That would be like half of all CZcams videos by now.
The astounding thing is that when this popcorn last saw the light of day, Taft or Woodrow Wilson was U.S. President. Most people were illiterate. Someone could have eaten this then headed off to battle World War I. The Titanic had just sunk. Charlie Chaplin was making movies. Thomas Edison or Orville Wright could have eaten it. Just amazing. 🎉 🌽🍿
speaking of Orville, Orville Redenbacher was barely a few years old if this popcorn was made in the 1910's, so it's almost as old as the face of popcorn himself! he was from indiana so he possibly could have eaten this brand of popcorn given the proximity to chicago.
John D Rockefeller literally owned 1% of the US economy Russia still had a Czar Mexico was having a revolution Almost nobody had even seen a car before
Snowball Shelled Rice was a trade name used for popcorn by the Albert Dickinson Company. Wild guess on the date is mid to late 1920s. A 1924 Dickinson catalog doesn't list popcorn, by 1930 the company was marketing popcorn under the Big Buster and Little Buster brands.
Post10. Some pointers as I make popcorn once a week and have for many many years. Never remove the pan from the burner / heating element, you leave the two in contact with one another at all times. You move it around while maintaining contact with the hot surface, it's a bit nosy but still fun. You're actually hurting those kernels from popping. You want to constant maintain medium heat at all times. Use butter popping oil / flavoring oil. Makes the popcorn taste EXACTLY like the movie theater. Olive Oil has a low burning point so never use olive oil.
OMG, it IS Post10. TBH I wan’t paying attention to the guy’s face. But I knew his voice was familiar. That’s the first video of this channel that pops in my recommendations, pun definitely intended. Thanks for making me notice.
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore That's a shame. Not surprising. On the other hand, there have been viable seeds found in Egyptian tombs. You never know. I guess it depends on stoage conditions. I'm shocked that they popped at all. Fun video!
Yeah I was getting so aggravated. When I make popcorn I just put it on high and shake it gently leaving it on the stove and it pops perfectly every time. I know this is very old popcorn but I would do the same thing with this popcorn.
I was hoping someone commented about being patient & letting it sit on the heat instead of removing it away from heat & shaking it also the olive oil sent me I was here for all of this each thing made it better
We were yelling at the screen for him to PUT THE LID ON, STOP TAKING IT OFF THE HEAT and STOP SHAKING IT COOL!!!!!! It wasn't until he stopped for 30 seconds to talk to the camera that the kernels had a chance to heat up and pop. The other side of me just wanted them to start popping full pelt with the lid off just to see the chaos and realisation on his face. But he wasn't giving them a chance. He's amazing! He doesn't go and study how to do any of this on the internet or from a cook book. He's just figuring it all out for himself (and making lots of mistakes along the way). It's what keeps us coming back. The moments when you can see exactly what's going on or about to happen. All you can do is hope he catches on.
You could try growing some of that corn if you have any left! I grew some seeds that I picked in 1991 but I planted them in 2017!!! 5 grew into seedlings but a heatwave during Summer killed off 3 of them and 2 out of 30 seeds grew to fully matured plants!
I don't think I've ever heard you get this excited before. It's pretty cool because it feels like you're finally aware of how popular this channel truly is. I know I'm not the only one because I've seen others echo my sentiment that this channel really is so relaxing and it helps alleviate my anxiety better than most pills I've been told to try.
My Grandmother was born the same year. She passed on in 2008 and she used to talk about popcorn in a cardboard container that they ate on Friday night's. I am guessing that is what she was talking about. Great video. ❤😎👏
You're supposed to keep the pot in contact with the hot coils while you shake it not lift the pot up in the air and shake it and let it cool off, you're also not supposed to use olive oil because olive oil has a strong flavor and it burns easily and you should make the oil probably hot before you even put in the kernels
I'm wondering if "shelled rice" was a catch all term for grains back then? I remember reading that back in the 18th century, "raisin" meant not only what we today know as raisins, but also pretty much any dried fruit. So maybe this was something similar?
There is an actual type of corn called rice popcorn but I thought it was going to be what people actually referred to as popping rice which is not actually writes it's called sorghum which is like miniature popcorn and it actually tastes the same
OR, always made it in a microwave. I allus put in the oil and three or four kernels. When THEY pop, put in the rest and shake it, don't lift it, on the burner. That's why gas is better, you still have all the heat without scratching the pan exterior.
why/when it became so unpopular to use the word maize? In german it's called Mais, Korn (used for all grain) - corn, Getreide - grain, Reis - rice, Weizen, - wheat, etc...
Who knew me, a guy who lives in a small city in Brazil, would be so interested on seeing a new england guy eating 110 year old popcorn. Great channel! I will stick!
This was so exciting! Is it going to pop? No? Maybe? It's amazing how long grain can keep! I remember when I was small, maybe first few years of school, my grandma made my first popcorn the same way. I think it was maybe double the size of those ancient corn kernels. It tasted wonderful, but the shells were really sharp. Probably because my country was then still a poor ex-soviet country, so they probably imported some of the cheapest stuff, could have even been livestock feed, who knows
Honestly dude, you got a charm to you. Off the beaten path, wholesome, and someone with such a genuine interest in such a niche thing. I subbed like forever ago and its crazy to see how much you blew up. Your videos scratch that itch for curiosity about how we used to eat and live. Keep going at this, I think this is your calling!
Love your videos so much! I believe the reason the popcorn didn't all pop at once is because when you shook it in that circular motion, it looked like the pot may have been lifted to far away from the burner, instead my mom taught me to shake it around like that while it's resting on the burner (may not be able to on some newer/fragile stoves) Keeping it really close or resting on the burner keeps it heating while you're shaking it, therefore making a popcorn firework show! I only say all this because I want you to enjoy as much of that century old popcorn as possible 😂 Hope this made some type of sense, keep up the great content man!
When I was a kid in the early 70s we grew corn for popping. We had an old machine for shelling the kernels. One kid would turn the wheel. The other put the corn in the 'thingamajig' that 'dekernaled' the cob. It was the best popcorn I've ever had. An amazing nutty flavor. Small pops. Oh how I wish I could go back to those days. Love your personality. God bless!
Fun fact: I bought some instant grits in 2012 just for an emergency meal in case there is a food shortage. It expired in 2013 and it's STILL good! Same with beans and rice as long as you store it properly it is still edible!
I love the beautiful, and also delicate design of the artwork. Someone really cared about creating that! Seems like everyone had pride and love for their work!
Nothing as relaxing or as much fun as watching you ride the old logging roads being reopened then popping corn older than I am! Loved it. I could tell you were excited over the pop corn too! Thanks a bunch.
The kernels being old as they are in the packaging used in all likelihood became very dried out. The popcorn needs some moisture to create the steam explosion that expands it out and I believe the kernels were just very dry. Cool video by the way!
This is the amazing part. Popcorn only pops because the moisture inside expands into steam which explodes the kernel. The fact that it worked means the moisture stayed in those kernels for 100+ years.
here's my thoughts if you ever pop the next batch.... use vegetable oil. it's a higher heat oil and won't burn. also do it on a gas stove or something, i think the entire reason the entire batch didn't pop here is because the pan never got hot enough
Clarified butter or ghee is my favorite oil for popping popcorn. Gives it a nice buttery flavor without burning like regular butter. It's super easy to make yourself as well. Just simmer unsalted butter in a saucepan until the milk solids separate from the fat then strain them out, or for ghee you continue to cook it for a while longer until the milk solids start to turn brown and caramelize giving it an interesting nutty flavor.
Olive oil works really well too and I swear it tastes almost as buttery as ghee. I don't like normal veg oil because its flavorless but olive oil is great.
FYI - popped rice is a popular snack across Asia. Where it is generally salted and eaten as a savory snack. It exists in the Anglosphere as kellogs rice krispies. Popping rice is more complicated than corn. You have to boil it first, then bake to dry it out, then finally put in a pan to pop it.
Insane to think that popcorn is older than almost everyone on earth and it's still good. Love the videos man it was really cool to see around the shelves at the end.
@@dfpguitarI learned to cook on an old electric hob. You just have to get to know it, that's all. Every one has its own wiles and ways. Still like it better than induction. And nothing beats my good ol' gas stove.
@@dfpguitarIndustrial popcorn cookers never shut off. As someone who worked at a movie theater for years. Those machines are kept at 400 degrees and never shut off mid cook. Its best to keep it on heat at all times but constantly shake it
This. Back in the day they'd probably have wood fired stove so less turning heat up and down because the inside temperature drops whilst the outer parts burn
Avocado is probably the healthiest oil that has a high smoke point, which would be ideal for popping corn. (Olive oil has a lower smoke point so not ideal for popping corn). There’s a youtube channel called Talon Fitness that has a really great video ranking different fats and oils from a health and nutrition perspective!
I was just going to say the same thing. I switched to avocado oil for everything because olive oil was smoking up my kitchen after cooking with it in the air fryer. Pretty reasonably priced and no more smoke alarms going off in the house lol.
Literally my favorite CZcamsr, I literally check everyday in hopes of a new camping or old taste testing video, his winter camps are my fav, because he’s goes in depth with his stove updates and cooking and the shelter building, just a pure real CZcamsr, hope he lives forever💪🏼
I absolutely love this channel, your 100yo cream corn video in 2021 came up as a suggestion at 2am lol, and I was so happy to get this suggestion. Please never stop, so many ppl love your charm and knowledge, as well as your content 🤎
I started watching your exploration videos and then I stumbled upon this channel. Can I just say how much you have restored my faith in humanity,I truly feel at home when I'm watching your content and I love every video you've put out. It feels inspiring to watch you be yourself one hundred percent and I think that the level you display that is valuable and something we could all learn to do more of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do you've gained a lifetime fan and follower.
Isn't that what Rice Krispies are.... Popped rice? Anyway.... back in the day my great-grandmother used to pop corn in her saved bacon grease. Though I'm sure it was not the healthiest it tasted absolutely amazing. I always enjoy your videos.
I'm able to pump out videos so fast because usually I spend sixteen hours a day making them, not necessarily filming them but the driving required to find them. I will be slowing down a little bit now because things are really slowing down. I drove over 3,000 miles this week and only found what I used to find in a couple hundred miles. Even though it's rainy beavers active season seems to be over or they're all trapped
I recently bought a popcorn pot and I was surprised to find that I only dress the popcorn with Olive Oil instead of butter. The flavor is just as good and like you said it's healthier too. Haven't tried it with 100+ year old kernels though LOL! So glad the food videos are back on your channel! (Please do more MREs / try boxes 🙏)
I noticed when making stove top popcorn that olive oil is the worst to use. It’s too thick and burns off faster creating more smoke. It burns off before it gets hot enough to pop the corn. I found that canola and vegetable oil are the best, peanut oil isn’t bad either. Also keeping the lid on after putting the seeds in keeps in the steam to help pop the corn
I used to use olive oil as my butter substitutes but then I discovered macadamia nut oil and haven't looked back! The smoke point is super high and it actually has a buttery type of taste to it and goes beautifully with cooking meats and veggies.
@@Casinogirl56 I dunno where you are but macadamia nuts are insanely expensive. A quick Google says they're the most expensive nut in the world. Maybe the oil is cheaper somehow
You are so interesting and smart. I admire your collection of old and vintage products. Truly artistic and worthy of a museum. I’ve been watching you for a long time. You are impressive!
I really enjoy your vids, they are well done and entertaining! It's probably not news to most folks here that "corn" didn't necessarily mean maize kernels (corned beef would be my favorite example, which contains no corn, as we know it). So the "rice" labelling just threw me for a loop, when corn (maize, ha!) was actually in the package! The evolution of language is infinitely entertaining! Thanks!
I’ve been watching your channel for around 5 years now. I always look forward to these vintage food videos ❤️ it’s so cool to think about the fact that this corn was grown by someone 100+ years ago!
this was just so cool. I've seen some of your other videos.. there's a charm to this channel. great work and I'll be on the lookout for your next video.
I am amazed and was so excited about this popcorn. I love all your vintage cans and jars! I have been watching your channel for the last several years and I absolutely love it! It is so interesting and you make everything fun on here! I enjoyed your huge garden video. That was great looking at everything growing! Thanks so much for this channel! We will be watching!! You make the world a happier place!
That is really amazing to see it pop! It's so cool to see the difference and how it has changed after all those years. I know it may be a very slim chance of success, but you should try to plant a couple of the remaining ones and see if they would grow after all this time.
Tip, put the lid on from the very start and shake the pan instead of stirring them. Keep the lid on the entire time. You're losing a lot of heat by keeping the lid off and also lifting it all the time, which makes them take longer to cook and they end up burning instead of popping.
most excited I have seen you! love it. like a kid on Christmas morning. more than 3 seconds between pops is my measure of when it's done. pop corn kernels were smaller in my childhood. lots of farmers breeding bigger kernels these days.
Hard shelled corn like this can be viable for a very long time. What you have is potentially a lost variety of popcorn from 1910! Most of our varieties in North America were lost. I would *highly* recommend trying to grow some of the seeds or send it off to someone to do tests.
I would of used run of the mill Crisco oil for good heat to pop those popcorn 🍿. I’m glad that those popcorn did pop for you. It was so exciting to see them pop!
Man that's just bloody AMAZING that these 100+ years old things actually popped! Imagine somebody opening and taste testing today's products in 100+ years from today like I don't know a ramen or something and putting it on CZcams or whatever replaces CZcams. I'm pretty sure CZcams's gonna be around after even 100 years
The reason popcorn pops is because it has moisture in the kernel, I’m surprised the moisture has not evaporated since 1910 in the cardboard container. This is the reason it is also so small, the kernels have much less moisture.
It's interesting how corn has changed over the years, and this is an extremely rare chance to see and taste antique corn! 🌽 I believe it was more nutritious back then. I'd love to try the recipe for sugar corn. 😮
Thank you so much for making such amazing videos 🌹🌹🌹! ! I'm a historian and these kinds of things always interest me ! ! I also am a popcorn addict haha 💖💖💖
My dad made popcorn in a pan regularly. He used sunflower oil and it was delicious! With salt I still love it. Nowadays I use the microwave ones though. 😂
Thats how my mother used to make it as well before we got those microwave instant bags that got the tendency to shoot into flames if you wait too long to get to the microwave.
👍🏼👍🏼 Very cool Post! I use olive oil almost all the time. Love it. Just pour the oil in, let it heat up, and do its thing. No need to shake the pot around much until the kernels have mostly popped. A little more oil the better (crispier popcorn).
I love this channel, no BS, no clickbait, no overreaction. all genuine. Great video.
I agree
yes for sure, yet still filled with drama and suspense
Right! It’s insane how all of those things are so rare too
At first when I saw he put 120 years old in the thumbnail and the year 1910 in the title, I was upset cause I thought that meant the thumbnail was clickbait. Then I realized 1910 was actually about 120 year ago. Now I’m just upset cause I feel ancient.

Someone could have eaten this then headed off to battle World War I. The Titanic had just sunk. Charlie Chaplin was making movies. Thomas Edison or Orville Wright could have eaten it. Just amazing. 🎉 🌽🍿
speaking of Orville, Orville Redenbacher was barely a few years old if this popcorn was made in the 1910's, so it's almost as old as the face of popcorn himself! he was from indiana so he possibly could have eaten this brand of popcorn given the proximity to chicago.

Snowball Shelled Rice was a trade name used for popcorn by the Albert Dickinson Company. Wild guess on the date is mid to late 1920s. A 1924 Dickinson catalog doesn't list popcorn, by 1930 the company was marketing popcorn under the Big Buster and Little Buster brands.

Thank you ! I just posted all of that.. lol
Have you considered planting a few of the remaining popcorn kernals? If they're still viable, it would be cool to grow 1910 era popcorn
I don't think it's possible I've tried old sees many times never did anything
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore Seeds hundreds and even thousands of years old have germinated and fully grown. I think it's worth a try.
Absolutely, I came here to say this. Maybe you could give some seeds to a seed bank they would know who / how to get them growing
Might need to Brine soak a few to Germinate
Vinegar or Salted water (Low concentration)
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore That's a shame. Not surprising. On the other hand, there have been viable seeds found in Egyptian tombs. You never know. I guess it depends on stoage conditions. I'm shocked that they popped at all. Fun video!
It burned because you never let the center of the kernels heat up with all the stirring and no lid.
Dude, stop shaking the pan! Getting the pan of the fire each time, is cooling down the pan!
Covering it sooner would have done a lot better

I agree it could be interesting to see. And 120 years a lot of time, maybe that type of corn already died out, you could save it then.
Now you can breed the survivors so you have heat resistant corn

this video annoyed me, Felt like he was wasting it.
Plus a lack of fluidity compared to vegetable oil doesn't help conduct heat as well
I would have kept the lid on also
This. It would have popped a lot better if it were allowed to get hotter.
Man i got so annoyed as he kept shaking the pot
It was sure good to see you smile/ laugh over the possible olive oil tragedy.

It's unlikely to sprout, because the embryo of the seeds would long dead.

You should put some in a jar with a teaspoon of water to hydrate the kernels... in a fridge. It's the moisture that makes it pop.
this is so amazing. it's the closest you can get to hopping in a time machine imo
I love this channel so much lol. Our dude ate 1910s popcorn!
This channel is so therapeutic and captivating, love it!
Love this show! You seem like a genuine, nice dude with a unique hobby. Thanks for this!
Also, you should try germinate some of those kernels. It would be neat to see if Any came up.
DUDE! YOU DROVE ME INSANE! LEAVE IT ON THE BURNER FOR MORE THAN 2 SECONDS JEEZE!!!!
One reason why the label might have had "shelled rice" on it was to get around some regulation.
I thought Shelled Rice was the company name… I don’t know!
@@nikkimorgan4860 Could be!
For real, this channel has something special, please keep up this nice work and your charm personality.
Insane to think that popcorn is older than almost everyone on earth and it's still good. Love the videos man it was really cool to see around the shelves at the end.
The burp was my favorite part! This guy has personality! 😂
Haaaaaa I was actually scrolling down to see if anyone cought that burp lmao😅
He Burps in a lot of His other Videos on His other Channels Post10 😂
Its not a good idea to constantly raise your popcorn off the heat, you'll get fewer popped kernels that way, even with fresh kernels.
A pitfall of electric hobs. They get extremely hot and are don't immediately respond to being turned down, so you need to keep taking it off.
@@dfpguitarI learned to cook on an old electric hob. You just have to get to know it, that's all. Every one has its own wiles and ways. Still like it better than induction. And nothing beats my good ol' gas stove.
Also you need to partially cover them, the steam helps them pop. Some foil with holes on top will do it.
@@dfpguitarIndustrial popcorn cookers never shut off. As someone who worked at a movie theater for years. Those machines are kept at 400 degrees and never shut off mid cook. Its best to keep it on heat at all times but constantly shake it
This. Back in the day they'd probably have wood fired stove so less turning heat up and down because the inside temperature drops whilst the outer parts burn
I love your videos. I’ve learned a lot from you and really enjoy watching your food eating videos. Love you!!
That’s awesome. As I age, 51 now, “old things” have a different perspective.
Avocado is probably the healthiest oil that has a high smoke point, which would be ideal for popping corn. (Olive oil has a lower smoke point so not ideal for popping corn).
There’s a youtube channel called Talon Fitness that has a really great video ranking different fats and oils from a health and nutrition perspective!
I was just going to say the same thing. I switched to avocado oil for everything because olive oil was smoking up my kitchen after cooking with it in the air fryer.
Pretty reasonably priced and no more smoke alarms going off in the house lol.
Literally my favorite CZcamsr, I literally check everyday in hopes of a new camping or old taste testing video, his winter camps are my fav, because he’s goes in depth with his stove updates and cooking and the shelter building, just a pure real CZcamsr, hope he lives forever💪🏼
I’d be interested to see if any of those unpopped kernels would grow if you planted them. Good video popping the ones you did try.
I absolutely love this channel, your 100yo cream corn video in 2021 came up as a suggestion at 2am lol, and I was so happy to get this suggestion. Please never stop, so many ppl love your charm and knowledge, as well as your content 🤎
If you’ve ever eaten a Nestle’s Crunch bar, or Rice Krispies, you’ve had popped rice😊
I wonder if any of them would be viable for growing and bringing back an heirloom variety that probably stopped existing mid century
I just commented the same thing. Great minds think alike lol.
It's too late now....
I started watching your exploration videos and then I stumbled upon this channel. Can I just say how much you have restored my faith in humanity,I truly feel at home when I'm watching your content and I love every video you've put out. It feels inspiring to watch you be yourself one hundred percent and I think that the level you display that is valuable and something we could all learn to do more of. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you do you've gained a lifetime fan and follower.
Isn't that what Rice Krispies are.... Popped rice? Anyway.... back in the day my great-grandmother used to pop corn in her saved bacon grease. Though I'm sure it was not the healthiest it tasted absolutely amazing. I always enjoy your videos.
I tried using olive oil recently and it burned and the kernels were dense. I ended up using vegetable oil without any issues. I believe it’s the oil.
That's because even though olive oil is healthy, it has a lower burn point so it's best to use in salad dressings or dips and not heated.
Very interesting episode. I am amazed how many videos you post and how much you do. Your channels have become my favorites on youtube.
I'm able to pump out videos so fast because usually I spend sixteen hours a day making them, not necessarily filming them but the driving required to find them. I will be slowing down a little bit now because things are really slowing down. I drove over 3,000 miles this week and only found what I used to find in a couple hundred miles. Even though it's rainy beavers active season seems to be over or they're all trapped
Thanks for watching and have a great night
@@NewEnglandWildlifeAndMore Thank you for the great content~
This was a fun video. I loved how you ate the popcorn and enjoyed it so much.
I recently bought a popcorn pot and I was surprised to find that I only dress the popcorn with Olive Oil instead of butter. The flavor is just as good and like you said it's healthier too.
Haven't tried it with 100+ year old kernels though LOL! So glad the food videos are back on your channel! (Please do more MREs / try boxes 🙏)
Okay my favorite thing about this video is byfar your excitement . It's contagious 😊🌷🌟
It was fun watching you enjoy the popcorn. You make the best videos on CZcams.
You are such a joy to watch!
I noticed when making stove top popcorn that olive oil is the worst to use. It’s too thick and burns off faster creating more smoke. It burns off before it gets hot enough to pop the corn. I found that canola and vegetable oil are the best, peanut oil isn’t bad either.
Also keeping the lid on after putting the seeds in keeps in the steam to help pop the corn
Always excited to see a new vintage food video from you! Much love.
I used to use olive oil as my butter substitutes but then I discovered macadamia nut oil and haven't looked back! The smoke point is super high and it actually has a buttery type of taste to it and goes beautifully with cooking meats and veggies.
That sounds incredibly expensive
@@PotatoPirate123it runs on the average about a dollar/oz.
@@Casinogirl56 I dunno where you are but macadamia nuts are insanely expensive. A quick Google says they're the most expensive nut in the world. Maybe the oil is cheaper somehow
You are so interesting and smart. I admire your collection of old and vintage products.
Truly artistic and worthy of a museum. I’ve been watching you for a long time. You are impressive!
I really enjoy your vids, they are well done and entertaining! It's probably not news to most folks here that "corn" didn't necessarily mean maize kernels (corned beef would be my favorite example, which contains no corn, as we know it). So the "rice" labelling just threw me for a loop, when corn (maize, ha!) was actually in the package! The evolution of language is infinitely entertaining! Thanks!
What a fun episode! Always love seeing old food products (I'm enjoying your gardening videos too, though).
I’ve been watching your channel for around 5 years now. I always look forward to these vintage food videos ❤️ it’s so cool to think about the fact that this corn was grown by someone 100+ years ago!
this was just so cool. I've seen some of your other videos.. there's a charm to this channel. great work and I'll be on the lookout for your next video.
This is one of my favorite videos from you ever!
I am amazed and was so excited about this popcorn. I love all your vintage cans and jars! I have been watching your channel for the last several years and I absolutely love it! It is so interesting and you make everything fun on here! I enjoyed your huge garden video. That was great looking at everything growing! Thanks so much for this channel! We will be watching!! You make the world a happier place!
That is really amazing to see it pop! It's so cool to see the difference and how it has changed after all those years. I know it may be a very slim chance of success, but you should try to plant a couple of the remaining ones and see if they would grow after all this time.
Tip, put the lid on from the very start and shake the pan instead of stirring them. Keep the lid on the entire time. You're losing a lot of heat by keeping the lid off and also lifting it all the time, which makes them take longer to cook and they end up burning instead of popping.
I was thinking this the whole time. He was doing way too much to it.
I get so excited when you upload, one of my fav channels ever :)
most excited I have seen you! love it. like a kid on Christmas morning. more than 3 seconds between pops is my measure of when it's done. pop corn kernels were smaller in my childhood. lots of farmers breeding bigger kernels these days.
This makes me want to vacuum seal some popcorn, just to leave it for someone like you in the future. Great video Post!
Food preservation is fascinating thank you 🙏
Hard shelled corn like this can be viable for a very long time. What you have is potentially a lost variety of popcorn from 1910! Most of our varieties in North America were lost. I would *highly* recommend trying to grow some of the seeds or send it off to someone to do tests.
I would of used run of the mill Crisco oil for good heat to pop those popcorn 🍿. I’m glad that those popcorn did pop for you. It was so exciting to see them pop!
I love this channel so much, some of the greatest content on CZcams, thank you for all the videos!
The best way to start the day is watching this video. Postie makes me chuckle , he's an absolute legend. 😊
I really enjoy this channel , please keep the videos coming !!
Always great to end my long day with a fresh post from Post
Thanks man! Keep it up
Great video as always. Love when you do old food content, super interesting.
Use some old fashioned looking potholders next time so you can place the hot pan on your counter, love when you cook, love your content 😊
Half popped kernels are the BEST! I love your excitement! Its contagious! My husband loves slighty burnt popcorn.
Coconut Oil for the win! Even when frying chips
For popcorn avacado oil is what I use.
You should have heated the oil first and added the kernels to the hot pan. But great upload 👌
You are hands down ALWAYS INTERESTING! I love watching and listening to you talk,❤❤❤
Man that's just bloody AMAZING that these 100+ years old things actually popped! Imagine somebody opening and taste testing today's products in 100+ years from today like I don't know a ramen or something and putting it on CZcams or whatever replaces CZcams. I'm pretty sure CZcams's gonna be around after even 100 years
The reason popcorn pops is because it has moisture in the kernel, I’m surprised the moisture has not evaporated since 1910 in the cardboard container. This is the reason it is also so small, the kernels have much less moisture.
It's interesting how corn has changed over the years, and this is an extremely rare chance to see and taste antique corn! 🌽 I believe it was more nutritious back then. I'd love to try the recipe for sugar corn. 😮
This was so cool! That was in great shape for over 100 years old. Thanks for sharing these cool finds!
Wow, I didn't think it would work! Your smile and laughter are so cute. You don't do that often. Great video!
Thank you so much for making such amazing videos 🌹🌹🌹! ! I'm a historian and these kinds of things always interest me ! ! I also am a popcorn addict haha 💖💖💖
My dad made popcorn in a pan regularly. He used sunflower oil and it was delicious! With salt I still love it. Nowadays I use the microwave ones though. 😂
Thats how my mother used to make it as well before we got those microwave instant bags that got the tendency to shoot into flames if you wait too long to get to the microwave.
We used to have one of those pans with the orange lid just for popping corn. Man it takes amazing back then.
👍🏼👍🏼 Very cool Post! I use olive oil almost all the time. Love it. Just pour the oil in, let it heat up, and do its thing. No need to shake the pot around much until the kernels have mostly popped. A little more oil the better (crispier popcorn).
I love popcorn this was great!! You are a happy person i can listen to you all day!! But your smile is amazing love it!!❤
