Happy Popcorn Lover’s Day!
Popcorn: that soft, buttery treat we love to munch on at the movies. Did you know there’s a whole day dedicated to celebrating this salty snack? And that day is today!

Here are some mind-popping fun facts about the best movie snack ever.
- The first popcorn machine was created in 1885. People have been enjoying popcorn for more than 100 years!
- Popcorn is actually pretty good for you, since it’s just corn. (Unless you heap on tons of butter and salt!)
- In some parts of the world, movie theatres offer two types of popcorn: salty or sweet. Both are delicious.
My favourite way to eat popcorn is with gummy bears mixed in. What’s your popcorn style, readers? Let us know in the comments!
