TikTok food trends can sometimes be weird and other times genius, but one thing is sure—they will almost always tempt you to try them out. For example, the watermelon popcorn by user @theadleyshow doesn’t seem like it could actually work. However, once you see it being made, you will want to test it out yourself.
Popcorns work with all sorts of flavors, from peanuts to caramel, so infusing them with watermelon might just work. If you are eager to try it out, @theadleyshow demonstrated the best way to do it.
The TikToker starts by placing a slice of watermelon in a frying pan that contains a generous amount of oil. She waits until the oil gets heated before pouring in the popcorn kernels. Next, she adds salt as a seasoning and puts two sticks of butter in the oil.
After she stirs this unusual combination of ingredients, the kernels start popping and filling the pan.
As expected, her video received many opposing reactions. Some users were baffled by the recipe, while others were intrigued by it. Unfortunately, @theadleyshow didn’t reveal how they taste, so the only way to find out is to make them. We don’t know about you, but we just might give it a go in order to find out.
