Why wont my popcorn pop?

Answer 1

If you're using a microwave: Maybe it isn't hot enough. Or maybe the bag you're using isn't closed properly. U NEED 2 MICROWAVE IT ON HIGH ON THE POPCORN SETTING DON'T JUST SET IT ON THE COUNTER AND WAIT TILL IT POPS

Answer 2

Here is the quick answer. In order for popcorn to pop properly, it has to be dry. It has to be exposed to high temperatures in order to pop correctly.(with oil) Water basically cools it down and prevents it from expanding.

Answer 3

If the popcorn is stale (water inside has dried out), it won't pop.

Answer 4

The water in the middle of the kernel has dried out.
