history: 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.
