    I'm sorry Cliff, but I did laugh. It's obvious you are not a Baby-boomer. There is a Jiffy Pop instructional video on UA-cam.
    Three things you did wrong;
    1. The flame was too high.
    2. You did not shake the pan vigorously enough.
    3. The critical error was popping a hole in the side of the expanding balloon.
    Jiffy Pop was a staple in our house. Mom always made a batch when we would watch the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday evenings.

    You're at one of the places my wife, who has passed and i went. Im maybe thirty five miles to the north. I remember as night came......so did the racoons. So many and persistent that we had to get back in the truck camper. Long time ago now. About 40 years now. Now i live in what most city folks would call a destination. Its just home, lots of shade, lots of critters and an empty wallet now feeding all the racoons here. Cookies, peanuts, dog food, hot dogs, grapes, cereal, etc. . The Racoon Whisperer started me on that lol. Funny looking back.. Ive seen chaos. A boring day is a great day. Feeding the critters at dusk a satisfying life. Was nice to see Raccoon Creek again.

    Hold it up over the flame and shake it pretty fast. If you leave those Jiffy pops sitting on the flame they’ll burn. I learned that when I did exactly what you did when first time making it for my kids. My kids are 51 and 56 years old now.I wonder how long Jiffy Pop has been around now that I think of it. Loved this video, some cool gifts. You’re so much fun.

    Maybe there was a concert or ball game those people were at,being that close to Pgh. I didn't know you were coming out this way or I would've let you know about Bushy Run. Did you see all the trees down across from the entrance? Im still amazed. When you can get there, try to go to Old Hannastown, too. Its a cool place. I have that same stepstool. How did that fan work out for you? Does it have heat,too? Lovin this camping with you. Ive only had one trip this year. Id like to do Kettle Creek this fall. Be safe as always ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    It was like a little Jiffy Chernobyl dude. The black stuff was graphite from the core. Lol. Next time use less heat (lower flame or better yet- cook over some campfire embers and shake more after you start to hear them start to pop. Remove from the heat as soon as the popping slows down. I have been enjoying your wanderings.

    made Jiffy Pop SOOO many times as a child. and yes, I am sorry, but I did laugh. But if you have never made it, then you could not have known how to do it. You didn't move it nearly vigorously enough and you cannot ever let it sit still. Once the foil pops like that, you just have to stop. Love your videos and love the real circumstances of them.

  • @williamgunn1076

  • @judyfalkosky-qf8tt
    @judyfalkosky-qf8tt 5 місяців тому +2

  • @mrzugzug
    @mrzugzug 5 місяців тому +2

    Once the hole in the side happened, the pressure was lost inside. The pressure inside to allow room for the popcorn to pop and the foil to expand upward was too low to function as it should. Looks like a manufacturing defect to me.

    With the Jiffy Pop, maybe a combination of the hole, heat too high and not shaking the pan fast enough?

  • @tangara7166
    @tangara7166 5 місяців тому +2

    Karma - your popcorn effort was probably about equal to your neighbor's tent construction, but both were probably equally as entertaining! The key to popcorn is to never let the kernels get still on the pan too long once the oil starts to sizzle, and especially once the kernels start to pop. That will shake the unpopped kernels down into the oil. You have to keep them moving, shaking fairly vigorously. I'd guess that the heat was too hot, too, or concentrated in too small an area of the pan. A medium heat works best. Here's a guy who knows what he's doing when it comes to jiffy pop: ua-cam.com/video/a_pZYyecgWY/v-deo.html

  • @hobbyfarmer62

    When you have a side blow outlet the popcorn off the heat so ýou don't do as you did and burn it up, yes heat was a bit to high. Popcorn pan is wrapped and bent so yeah it heated to fast ND blew out at which point you can see smoke blowing out the hole.
    And why as silly humans do we always feel we must have a fire no matter how hot it is out. Also fun you can gage the heat out by how close you sit to fire if it is hot far away if cold nearly in the fire.
