Candy Crush Saga popcorn

What is the popcorn and how does it work???
From level 771 you will see strange brown squares on your gameboard with squiggly creamy blobs which are popcorn.
The are set in position and are not moveable or switchable.
At first glance you may think they are just blockers to make the game a bit harder, but they are actually good to have if you know how to use them to your advantage.
Popcorn
To make the most of the popcorn you need to hit it with the blast from a stripe or a stripe/wrap combo, or explode a wrapped candy beside it.
The first time you hit the popcorn it will grow a little but will not appear to do much.
The second time you hit it, it will grow more and begin to pulse with light.
The third time you blast it will cause it to crumble and turn into a colour bomb!
See the images below.
After 1 hit

after 2 hits

after 3 hits
You can then use the colour bomb as normal. So you can see that the popcorn can be a fantastic aid to helping you complete your level as well as increasing your score tremendously.
Hitting the popcorn with a lollipop hammer will NOT make it grow, so don't waste your boosters on them.
Below is a video of part of level 771 to show the popcorn in action. The video was intended only as a demo of the popcorn, not to show how to complete the level.

Candy Crush Saga level 771

Tips for level 771 Candy Crush Saga
You have 26 moves to score as many points as possible. The minimum you need to pass is 10,000 points, which isn't difficult. There are 2 bombs in the bottom squares which you may not notice at first and they only have a countdown of 25 so you MUST destroy them at some point during the game or all your work will be wasted.
To help clear the bombs there are 2 popcorn squares which, when hit 3 times with the blast from a stripe, will turn into colour bombs which you can use to get the bombs.
Of course you can always make your own colour bombs to increase your score too.
