It’s National Popcorn day. 🍿 From sweet to buttery, popcorn has been around since around the 16th century. The oldest popcorn ever found was in a bat cave in New Mexico. When it was discovered, people used it for decoration, head ornaments, and necklaces. Later on, the Aztecs discovered that they could actually eat it.

The most popular snack in the 1800 and 1900s were popcorn balls! Now, people make tons of different kinds of popcorn including spicy curry, sriracha, caramel, vegan, chocolate, salted, bacon and much more!

My favorite type of popcorn is caramel and rainbow! What’s yours?
