Popcorn

Popcorn is a blocker that first appeared in level 771, the first level of Eggnog Emporium.

Properties
Popcorn is a stationary, three-hit blocker that occupies one space. When it is hit by the effects of a special candy the popcorn grows larger on the square upon which it sits. When it is hit a second time it grows even larger. When it is hit a third time it turns it into a colour bomb that can intermediately be used by the player. Note unlike most blockers such as multilayered icings or liquorice swirls, matching candies adjacent to it have no effect on it.

Like liquorice swirls, popcorn is resistant to special candies and colour bombs. If a striped candy's effect hits a popcorn blocker, it will increase the size of the popcorn as described above, but the effect is blocked to none of the candies beyond it are effected.

Trivia

 * This blocker was released prematurely. For 1 week, it could be found in mystery eggs but only in Dreamworld. Later, it was removed from the game.
 * This is the third blocker that takes exactly three hits to destroy - the first two being Three-layered Icing and Three-layered Sugar Chest.
 * This blocker is NOT immune to colour bomb + colour bomb combo. In fact, as a result of its release, the double colour bombs may have been updated to destroy all blockers (except for the licorice swirl) once.
 * Jelly Fish avoid popcorn.
 * This is the only blocker which turns into a booster.
