crunchy and popping
It looks like popcorn.
A popcorn ceiling is a textured ceiling that looks like small, bumpy clusters resembling popcorn. It is called a popcorn ceiling because of its resemblance to the shape and texture of popped popcorn.
Because it looks cool
The bug that looks like a burnt popcorn kernel is called a sow or pill bug. Pill bugs are members of the woodlice family, but are able to roll up in a ball.
Microwave it, nobcheese. Its magic, no other.
There are two types if popcorn kernels: "butterfly" and "mushroom." The "butterfly" usually is large, light, fluffy, and looks like it has wings resembling a butterflies. The "mushroom" is more dense and compact, like a ball and is usually used for candy coating, caramelizing, etc. There are many different kinds of popcorn, including kettle corn, hot air popcorn, microwave popcorn, old-fashioned popcorn, and flavored popcorn (caramel, cheese, even lemon-lime, watermelon, strawberry, and pineapple).

Yes, you can grow popcorn from popcorn kernels. Popcorn kernels can be planted in soil to grow into popcorn plants, which produce ears of corn with kernels that can be popped into popcorn.
No. The popcorn is not well bonded to the ceiling so the paint will have a tendency to peel. Also -- it looks like a glossy popcorn ceiling. Instead, a service company can easily remove popcorn from your ceiling. It's typically a 1-day, low cost operation, and I highly recommend it. You can do it yourself but it's messy. One caution: popcorn is applied to hide aesthetic defects in the ceiling construction. Make sure you don't mind uncovering this.
popcorn is still popcorn;)
Popcorn popped from a popcorn machine is much better than popcorn popped in a microwave.
