Scientists discovered why some of the pop corn won't pop!

And why there are a lot of teeth breaking corn at the bottom of your microwave pop corn.

It seems that some of the seeds shrink instead of pop. and that popping has to do a lot with humidity in the seeds. When the seed's shell is cracked, the humidity won't stay in the seed and there will not be enough pressure for the seed to pop.

This sounds very reasonable. Why did it take the scientists so long to come up with a simple explanation like that?

They say it's the first research anyone ever did about this. That's probably why.

Now if science can only explain where those missing socks go when they're in the dryer, then the universe will truly hold no mysteries.
