National Popcorn Day

January 19th, National Popcorn Day

Long before we popped a bag into the microwave and after 3-4 minutes pulled out a puffed-up bag of snacking fun, people were enjoying popped corn. William Orbeton patented his design for a corn-popper in October 1866 (US Pat. No. 59,253) so families all around the country could make popcorn over campfires or in kitchen hearths. This past year, popcorn sales exploded as people around the globe stayed home and enjoyed the movie theatre experience from the comfort of their couches – butter flavoring optional!
