National Popcorn Day History
Popcorn’s irresistible taste and smell are one of the main reasons why this celebration was loooong overdue {giggles} but not the only one. Popcorn is tasty no matter if it’s sweet or savory, and it’s one of the easiest and most versatile snacks ever. Let’s learn a bit about its history and why we celebrate Popcorn day!
Original corn looked very different from what we know today, but thanks to careful selection for many years, corn has evolved to look like the beloved corn we know today. After that, at some point in history, people found out that corn kernels pop when subjected to heat, and started eating corn in a different way. Yummy!
Then, the Popcorn Board – it is real! – decided it was time to celebrate Popcorn Day. And now, here we are!
