In the video, a man repeatedly strikes a sealed metal container used to prepare popcorn, building intense pressure inside. When the lid is finally released, the container bursts open with a loud explosive sound, sending it flying and missing the net meant to catch the popcorn. The sudden blast startles nearby onlookers, highlighting both the power and unpredictability of this traditional method.
