    Nah...it doesn't. It's not "popping" corn it's feed corn. I guess there's a difference, which I'm no where near qualified to answer. I've had one I bought for years & have made my own since to fit the body parts I wanna cover ;-) I love the weight of the corn [I have rice ones too] especially for cramps! & no worry of falling asleep w/it cause it pitters out itself.

    I think most fleece is polyester. It does not always take to heat well. These can sometimes get overheated by mistake. Not good if they melted! :oops:

    Great job! What wonderful gifts. I have made "corn bags" also. They are great. Just for your info, my daughter designed one for her feet (she has athritis). It has two sections; folds over with handles. She can put her feet (or hands) inside it. You can also open it (12 x 20) and use for a bed warmer.

    i use rice also. it does not stay warm as long as the corn but my daughters use them for "cramps". I love them for my shoulder and even warm one up for the kitty's bed.
