The video opens with the person putting an egg in the pan. She, then, adds two cubes of butter around it. In the next step, she puts caramel candies in the pan, followed by popcorn kernels. She swirls everything together, keeping the egg intact at the centre, and then covers the lid until the popcorn pops. Once the process is completed, she removes the burnt egg from the pan and starts eating caramel popcorn. Now, the process left everyone wondering, why the egg was used in the first place?!
