Popcorn Experiment- The Results

I know some of you are patiently waiting for the results of our popcorn experiments.

We accidentally left the popcorn bags out overnight.  The next morning, I went out to check on them to discover the bag that was left outside was wet with dew.  That's not good- note to self- don't leave paper bags out overnight :)  That was a FAIL :(

I then went over to the van and checked on that one.  All kernels were still in the bottom- no popping occurred.  So, we decided to leave the bag in the van while we went house hunting in Florida.  And it got HOT.

The results:

Still no popped popcorn.  FAIL :(

Even though it was discouraging. we discovered that you cannot pop popcorn in your vehicle on a hot 90 degree day.  We may revisit this experiment when we move to hot and steamy Florida :)
