Today is Popcorn Lover's Day !!!
Popcorn was a favorite food of the Native Americans and Aztecs and was introduced to the rest of us in the 1800's.
Charles Creators invented the first commercial corn popping machine in 1885.
During the Great Depression, theater owners
made a deal with independent popcorn vendors to sell the popular snack in front of their theaters, finding it less expensive than installing the ventilation system necessary at the time. A bag of freshly popped corn was an affordable treat when few had money for necessities, let alone luxuries.
During World War II when sugar was rationed (so long candy🍫🍬 and soda🥤😢) popcorn🍿 increased in popularity.
Yellow and white popcorn are the most popular, but you can find red, blue, and purple too.
My favorite is My Tess' 3 cheese (parmigiano
reggiano , white cheddar and gruyere) that she makes just for me😘. We have an air popper now. A cup of plain, air popped popcorn is only 30 calories. Woo hoo😒.
Tess isn't
much of a popcorn eater, but she likes a little Crunch 'n Munch ( She puts extra sea salt roasted peanuts in it 😏).
