Nevada took part in the fifth-grade science fair this year. Wow, fifth grade already! For her project she chose to find out if different brands and flavors of microwave popcorn had different amounts of unpopped kernels left in the bag.
The answer: YES!
She tested three different brands of popcorn, two national brands and one store brand. In each brand, she tested butter flavor and kettle corn. Orville Redenbacher had the least amount of unpopped kernels by a long shot in both flavors. The store brand and Jolly Time each took second and third place, depending on the flavor, but I have to say, when it comes to taste (which didn't have anything to do with the project) Jolly Time came in dead last! My own personal conclusion - the store brand is pretty decent, but if you want the best taste and the most popcorn, you're gonna have to splurge for Orville.
Nevada did a great job and put in a lot of hard work. She got 3 stars for her project -- which is the highest score you could get. We are very proud of her!
Way to go, Nevada - you rock!!!
