| Popcorn Stand - Author's Picture |
I took the picture of the popcorn stand, but I don't remember the exact location. Curiously, while I was thinking about this post, I was traveling to a town. I saw something ahead on the road and swerved to miss it. When I got closer, I saw that it was a container of popcorn that someone had thrown out onto the road. Or lost, I don't know.
1. Popcorn has been enjoyed for thousands of years in the Americas.
2. Cracker Jack, a type of caramel-coated popcorn (and peanuts), was created in 1896.
3. It is estimated that corn was domesticated c.a. 9,000 years ago.
4. Americans consume about 17 billion quarts of popcorn every year.
5. One cup of unpopped buttered popcorn will give about 28 cups of popped popcorn.
