Tutorial on how to make your own popcorn machine using cans

Beijing has been getting colder and colder recently. I believe that most of you have failed to suppress your desire to eat snacks, and are slowly getting rounder while shouting about losing weight. The popcorn that has just popped up on the street is probably one of the culprits. It is hot, crispy and crunchy. Eating a bag of it in winter is full of happiness.

It is a pity that the uncles and aunts selling popcorn on the street pushing tricycles are about to go home to celebrate the New Year. As the New Year is approaching, how can I soothe the stomach of a foodie.

However, the ancient power of a foodie allows you to overcome all difficulties and eat whatever you want. How can a problem that can be solved with two Coke bottles stump a foodie with terminal cancer? You can DIY a simple home-made popcorn machine, which is a must-have product for home and travel, so that foodies no longer have to worry. In fact, it looks very plain.

And, it’s easy to do. All you need is two ordinary Coke bottles, a pair of scissors, and a few scented candles that IKEA sells in packages. First take one of the Coke bottles, cut a slit in the wall of the Coke bottle, and connect the Coke bottle to one side, like a lid that can be opened first.
