About National Popcorn Day
United States
Ends: Jan 19, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
National Popcorn Day marks the anniversary of the birth of Charles Cretors on January 19, 1853.
Cretors owned a confectionary shop in Decatur, Illinois and decided to expand his offerings out onto the sidewalk where people were. He purchased a peanut roaster, but found it lacked functionality. Tinkering, he improved it and added other products. He is the person that created the sidewalk roasters used for peanuts, coffee and popcorn that were commonplace in the late 19th century through WWII.
It is because of Cretors that you were able to go to the boardwalk, ball game or circus and enjoy roasted peanuts or popcorn, fresh and hot. National Popcorn Day honors his memory.
Popcorn has been around for about 4,000 years, but it wasn’t until 1519 that Europeans would discover it. Cortes got his first sight of popcorn when he invaded Mexico and came into contact with the Aztecs. Popcorn was an important food for the Aztec Indians, who also used popcorn as decoration for ceremonial headdresses, necklaces and ornaments on statues of their gods, including Tlaloc, the god of rain and fertility.
Today it is a favorite snack the world over. Americans consume some 16 billion quarts a year, or 51 quarts per man, woman, and child.
The Popcorn Board is the official representative of all things popcorn in the United States. They have over 50 recipes you can download with pictures on their site at:

Not all corn kernels pop. Only the Zea mays everta corn can become popcorn.
