BaoMiHua Posted July 23, 2008 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 at 02:33 PM Due to bad planning and recent visa hassles, i'm dangerously low on my supply of popcorn kernels. Anyone have an idea where to get more in china? I've checked the walmarts etc, and also asked a popcorn salesperson to sell just kernels, but they said the kernels come from company they lease the machine and they cannot sell them unpopped.

roddy Posted July 23, 2008 at 03:55 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 at 03:55 PM Same place you buy everything else in China - Taobao! I know nothing about popcorn making, so sorry if that's not the right stuff. Looks about right to me though. PS Guess now we know how you got the username . . .

heifeng Posted July 23, 2008 at 05:25 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 at 05:25 PM (edited) The only thing I (now) know about popcorn making is...don't use those big square corn kernals. I attempted this out of boredom one day after finding a stockade of big fat corn kernals where I was staying and while they did 'pop' they just didn't pop open:tong Edited July 24, 2008 at 12:29 AM by heifeng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaoMiHua Posted July 24, 2008 at 12:24 AM Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 at 12:24 AM Oooh, thanks roddy! I should have figured that out myself It's just that "buying food" and "taobao" isn't the usual mental assossiation, but this case i could make an exception. Although the size is quite big even for my consumption And thanks for heifeng for already doing research on big square kernels ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaoMiHua Posted July 24, 2008 at 05:56 AM Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 at 05:56 AM Yeah, biggest disappointment of the year I even commented about it in here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elf Piper Posted July 28, 2008 at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 at 09:43 PM What kind of food items are you allowed to have posted to you? I'd be happy to send some if you wanted to pay shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaoMiHua Posted July 29, 2008 at 07:03 AM Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 at 07:03 AM Thanks for your kind offer Elf Piper, but no need, i thought about the mailing from overseas way earlier, but i think that takes too long time and can get quite expensive since it can get heavy for few months supply.. According to something said in some other thread, i'm sure the "educational popcorn" would be allowed to be mailed to china ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
