The viral video starts with the cook placing a slice of peeled watermelon on a pan. She adds a packet of popcorn kernel to it and cuts the fruit into pieces. She continues to give the watermelon and kernels a nice stir and then covers the pan with a transparent lid. Once the popcorn gets ready, she takes off the lid. The snack looks quite appetising and the bright red colour surely looks amazing. We have tried cheese, caramel, salty, and more flavours before. Foodies love all these delish flavours. But does everyone like the idea of watermelon popcorn?
