Did you know..

# It's like
the evil brother of ordinary matter.

When you bring the two together, they annihilate each other. Which makes storing it in tupperware boxes rather tricky.

# It's much easier if you use the
Sheen/ Antisheen analogy ;)

# pfft, yeah
That's real science.

If you combine particles of Sheen with Antisheen in a Costanza-grade containment unit, though, you can control the reaction.

popcorn is created by combining corn with anti-corn. Given the extortionate price of antimatter, it's not surprising!

Wait, no, that was just a lie the cinema told me when I quizzed them on it. I'd imagine it's true though. I can easily imagine buying a handful of
corn for 3 pence (According to the wikipedia, it's $1.80 for 1 bushel, or 35 litres). Then you could sell the resulting popped stuff for £3
