It’s National Popcorn Month! Americans eat about 16 million quarts a year of this delicious snack - that’s about 51 quarts per person! Here’s some popcorn trivia for you to get your celebration on:

• The earliest recorded use of corn is for popping!
• Historical Spaniard accounts state that popcorn was often used as garlands and crowns for Aztec ceremonies, as well as for snacking.
• The oldest ears of popcorn were found in Bat Cave, New Mexico in the 1940s. It was dated to be 4000 years old and 2 inches long!
• Popcorn consumption dropped in the 1950s when home televisions were introduced and people stopped going to the movies…
• ...But came right back up when the home microwave hit the market!
