Mom reveals ‘game-changing'’ hack for making homemade popcorn in just 2 minutes: ‘Why didn’t anyone tell me this?'
A mom is mystifying TikTok after sharing her easy life hack for making homemade popcorn.
The trick, which essentially recreates bagged, store-bought popcorn in just two minutes, comes courtesy of a user named Megan (@mmmorgan20). In her viral clip, she shows how she’s been making her kids homemade popcorn “for years.”
Her trick is just the latest food-based life hack to spread widely on TikTok. Recently, popular TikToker Sidney Raz actually went viral for another popcorn hack, showing the “real way” to get rid of unpopped kernels. Before that, an equally simple trick — for making cookie cake with just three ingredients — also blew up on the app.
Megan’s video shows how easy it is to recreate store-bought popcorn with nothing more than salt, pepper, kernels and a brown paper bag.
“Homemade popcorn the easy way,” she captioned her video.
Viewers were largely blown away, with many commenting that they’d always assumed there was some sort of “special ingredient” in store-bought popcorn that helped it pop in the bag.
However, as Megan’s video shows, that’s not the case. The mom starts by dumping a few spoonfuls of kernels into her paper bag, then adds butter and sea salt before microwaving the mix for just two minutes.

Her clip sparked a pretty strong reaction in the comments section. Some called her hack a “game changer.”
“Wait a dang minute,” one user wrote.
“Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?” another asked.
“Wait. Wait wait. You mean I don’t have to splatter oil on the stove and stand there shaking the pan?!” another added.
Others added that Megan’s hack is possibly faster, tastier and more eco-friendly than buying store-bought bags every time. Of course, the only real way to know if that’s true is to try it yourself.
