Pop corn man

The pop corn man: he yells a warning before it explodes! Burning scrap wood, he's got a caldron thing he fills with rice or corn or shrimp chips, and turns it over the fire, until it builds up pressure and BAM! explodes all puffed up into a mesh bag. Its kinda like air popped corn- and rice krispies. A neighborhood fixture!


He's been doing it for 20 years. Here he is on Wanhangdu @ Changning rd. We also catch him at Anxi @Xuanhua occasionally too. 


The pop corn comes out inside out! All the white fluff is on the inside.

And the "rice krispies"- which make great cereal! its not as krispy as the brand name cereal- and its much puffier.
