Well, I have no idea. What I do know is that corn itself was domesticated about 9,000 years ago, in Mexico.
That made me laugh. I could see popcorn being figured out as accident. I mean corn was first cultivated dating back 9000 years in Mexico.
I love sneaking in popcorn into movie theaters. Is that so? Do you watch the popcorn kernels puff out forcefully when heated? Yep, so simple, yet so tasty. How long has popcorn been around, anyway? Archaeologists have found that people knew of popcorn for thousands of years. I don't think they had movie theaters that long ago, I wondered what they watched when eating popcorn.
