For some reason my dad always asked me, on the way in to Mariners games, if I wanted Kettle Corn. Not like, "hey what do you want?", but specifically kettle corn. So of course I said yes even though I might have wanted a hot dog or something.
He never ate any of the kettle corn. He just wanted to build my addiction to it and have him/Mariners associated. I fucking love kettle corn in my 30s. Miss you pops.

First few bites, one kernel at a time. Then small clumps just in the fingers. Eventually devolving into full blown handfuls where I'm probably losing 10% of the popcorn between bucket/bag and mouth.

Kids that young aren't supposed to eat popcorn...

u/Low-Hovercraft-8791 Los Angeles Dodgers 14h ago
Yes it says it on the packaging. Because it's easy to choke on both unpopped kernels and even the popped ones.
18
u/PMmeyourSchwifty Los Angeles Dodgers 12h ago
Not only that, they can inhale the kerbals and get them lodged on their lungs. Honestly, not that surprising since my kid chokes on her water like 3 times a day.

u/NamiRocket Houston Astros 9h ago
Being fair to your kid, I'm 42 and still choke on water.

u/Deep_Imagination_600 1h ago
Is your child mildly tongue tied? I only ask this as sometimes frequent and minor choking can be associated to that and also not a terrible idea to be evaluated by an ENT. I am totally aware this could be a slight exaggeration, but if it isn’t, ENTs can do a check just to make sure esophagus, nose, etc. are all in alignment.

Oh I hate that kernel skin or whatever you call it. It's like an annoying popcorn film that gets stuck in your teeth or back of your throat.

u/Several_Use1426 14h ago
my first thought too. Looks cute/funny but this is pretty bad parenting due to the choking hazard for a kid that young.

DO NOT GIVE POPCORN TO CHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OLD. It presents a serious choking hazard. Hard to tell how old this kid is, but I'm guessing 3. This is incredibly dangerous. Most parents don't know about it. I'm not trying to be a Debbie downer, I just don't want to read any more stories like this:
Doctors removed 7 pieces of popcorn from her son's lungs. Now this mom has a message.

strong contender for most AI-looking video that isn't actually AI on the internet. i think the fixed camera makes it look weird

Yeah idk why but it really does look like an AI video. But nothing seems off at all. Weird

u/ElceeCiv Atlanta Braves 8h ago
I think it's the shallow focus of the camera here. It's kinda jarring to have the subject so clear and the very close background objects blurry and a lot of AI stuff looks that way.

Logan Gilbert had a career high 13 strike outs which is just under half the outs in a game while Cal Raleigh hit two HRs to make history hitting the most home runs as a catcher. And this kid was the highlight of this game.

This is the second popcorn kid this week.
If I had a nickel for every popcorn kid posted in r/baseball this week, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's strange that it's happened twice.

We could stop giving these parents attention. That baby is already obese and is on their way to a 1000 lb life. Popcorn is also a choking hazard for babies.
