Puffed rice popper



Friday 27 March 2009

I stopped at the puffed grains et cetera stand today to pick up a sesame snack, and asked if I could take a picture of the snacks. The guy looked thrilled and offered to let me photograph the puffer machine going off. It's really loud, so I jumped and cut off his head. But you can see the bag of rice flying out behind the machine there. It sounds like a gun going off.
