059: Popcorn Flock

However appetising this popcorn looks, I assure you it's way out of date. And it's been used as packaging material in a box of highly-scented toiletries, so it's perfumed now as well. Scented popcorn is a good thing, but not to eat, I'm guessing.
These exploded grains have fascinating unique forms, so I've been stuck a bunch on cocktail sticks, upright on pieces of plasticine. I've also kept one aside that looks like an octopus... It's almost like cloud-spotting. I noticed another that resembled a pitcher plant.
