I have effects on people I don't like.
In fact, I draw people to me with my looks. I just sit minding my own business when a hungry, giant hand takes me away. Since I look good, I must smell good too. I hide from those demons but I still get found. No matter what I do I can't get that nice salty butter smell out of my kernels. Because I look and smell so good - my god, what do I taste like? I see my brethren get eaten, I hear their small popcorn bodies get crushed under monstrous teeth. Therefore, I have a difficult life to live with my nice looks and my wonderful taste.
