Reply to comment by Jack_Off_All_Aids in TIL: "Popcorn" is not simply a descriptive term, but also refers to a specific variety of corn which has the unique characteristic of being able to pop, while the other five varieties of corn do not have this capability. by greenappletree

Yeah with hundreds of different strains of corn, I’d venture to guess that the 6 “varieties” of corn mentioned are similar to how there is basically 2 types of Cannabis: Sativa and Indica. However there are hundreds or thousands of strains of weed, and many of them are hybrids which blur the line between the two “types”.
