Created in 2010 by the foodie blog Foodimentary, National Popcorn on a String Day pays homage to the European custom of stringing popcorn, nuts, and berries together to form a garland.
During the medieval times through the Victorian era, this custom served as a wild bird feeder during the winter months, attracting the colorful birds that braved the cold and hung around through yuletide.
During the Great Depression, Americans took to the custom in force. With little money for Christmas decor and extravagance, the popcorn garland became a way to entertain the children and decorate the tree. Often referred to as the ‘poor man’s tinsel,’ though of European origin, the popcorn garland is firmly entrenched in today’s Americana and most often associated with US culture.
What is the best way to celebrate? Pop some corn and get stringing!
