If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

that weird film like stuff

I absolutely hate those things. One of the worst toothaches I'd ever had was when I had one of those little kernel slivers manage to find its way under a tooth, all the way under the gum. After a day of agony, I had finally managed to pull something out of my gum. At first I thought it was a broken piece of tooth or something, until I noticed that it still smelled like fresh popcorn. This was several weeks after I'd last even eaten popcorn; it somehow slipped under my tooth without me ever feeling it until the day it became wildly inflamed.

I'm very careful with popcorn these days.
