What is National Popcorn Day?
Popcorn Day on January 19 celebrates one of the oldest snacks in the Americas: archaeologists have found popped maize thousands of years old in Peru and Mexico. A kernel pops because the water inside turns to steam and bursts the hard hull, turning the starch inside into a white foam. Popcorn became inseparable from cinemas in the 1930s, and it can be a wholesome whole-grain snack when it is not drowned in butter and salt.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
