In recent times, social media has had a visible impact on the food culture all around the world. Food bloggers and home chefs are now playing a revolutionary role in making the culinary shift and have redefined how the public appreciates, discusses and savours food. People are nowadays coming up with unique and extraordinary ways to feed people. This has been specifically seen in the street food vendors’ segment. These unique styles go viral in no time, attracting a lot of attention from social media users. Recently, a video has been making headlines about a street vendor in China who has found a unique way to make popcorn.
Popcorn is some of the most popular snacks eaten by people. Apart from being sold at multiplexes, they are often found on the streets. In the viral video, a man can be seen making popcorn using a huge machine in China. He can be seen filling a metal vessel with corn kernels. He fills them until the vessel is full and then tightly closes it with a lid. He can also be seen tightening the lid of the vessel with a spanner. After that, he puts the vessel on a machine that spins it. Gradually, the vessel starts spinning, and the corn kernels are being heated. But what happens next surprises the viewers. He then opens the machine, leading to a small blast in the machine, which results in the preparation of freshly made popcorn. The corn kernels turn into popcorn, which is later stored in a net.
The viral clip was uploaded on the social media platform Instagram by a popular handle. They captioned it, “How popcorn is made in China!”. As soon as the clip was uploaded, it went viral. People were surprised to see this unique method of making popcorn. Many of them went to the comment section to express their views. One of the users jokingly wrote, “That’s actually popped corn”. Another user commented, “Chances are one might lose their leg or worse. Plus dirt flavoured popcorn.”
So far, the viral clip has gotten 1 million views on Instagram.
