original_response: No idea, but the stovetop has been used to pop kernels since the 10th century.
history: Sometimes the taste of popcorn puts me off. Do you like popcorns? I'm indifferent to popcorn, its just a corn kernel variety which expands and puffs up upon heating. Who invented popcorn? I am not sure, but corn was domesticated in present day Mexico 9000 years ago. Wow, I thought it was the american indian's. Do you know what happens that makes the corn pops? I'm not sure about the process for that but archaeologists have found that people thousands of years ago had known about popcorn. Do you know how many flavours there are?
knowledge: Popping of the kernels was achieved by hand on the stovetop through the 19th century.
