On Jan. 19 we celebrate a treat that satisfies munchies, day or night. Happy National Popcorn Day! Popcorn earned its holiday status in the 1980s but this time-honored snack can be traced back thousands of years, according to The Popcorn Board. The oldest ears of popcorn were found in a cave in central New Mexico and are believed to be over 4,000 years old. Early forms of the snack food were also found in headdresses worn by the Aztecs in the 16th Century. Popcorn started becoming popular in the United States in the middle 1800s. It wasn’t until Charles Cretors, a candy-store owner, developed a machine for popping corn with steam that the tasty treat became more abundantly poppable. By 1900 he had horse-drawn popcorn wagons going through the streets of Chicago.Fun Fact: Americans consume 13 billion quarts of popcorn each year, which comes to about 42 quarts per person.Want to get a jump on your popcorn consumption?
