Zebracorns are alleged zebra-like creatures sighted in Africa. They have been referenced in tribal culture for hundreds of years, so they are not new. They are said to look like a zebra, but, of course, have a unicorn like horn. Legends state that they can manipulate their stripes and create hypnotizing displays.

Popcorn comes in two basic shapes— butterfly and mushroom. Butterfly popcorn has a very irregular shape with large bumps. It has a light crispy texture but can break easily. The mushroom-shaped popcorn is round with a rough surface.

Shawn R. So Good, light, crunchy, very little husks. I pop it in Avocado oil and a little salt, it's so good we don't butter on it ! It pops fast and I love the smaller popcorn size of the Lady fingers and Baby white, it almost tastes sweet.
