popcorn
Buttery movie munchies
Popcorn is a variety of corn whose kernels explode when heated, puffing into light, irregular white shapes.
It's eaten as a snack, typically with butter and salt, and is strongly associated with movie theaters.
We made popcorn for movie night.
As an adjective, popcorn suggests light entertainment without much substance: a popcorn movie, popcorn fiction.
