POPCORN FACTS
• Did you know that most of the world’s popcorn comes
from Nebraska and Indiana.
• Americans today consume 17 billion quarts of popped
popcorn each year. The average American eats about 70
quarts.
• A popcorn kernel is really a seed. There is a small
amount of water inside each seed, which once it reaches
a specific temperature allows the kernel to pop.
Sometimes this water is not inside some kernels and that
is why there can be times that certain kernels will not
pop.
• There are many sites currently on the Internet with
fascinating information on popcorn. Just pop the word
“POPCORN” into a ‘search engine’ and there is so much
to choose from. There is also information in books at
your favorite bookstore or library.
• Another important fact is, any type of popcorn can be
popped in your OLD FASHIONED MOVIE TIME
POPCORN CART™. In fact, the cheapest kind generally
works as well as any. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune to
enjoy hot, fresh theater-style popcorn. Try different kinds
of popcorn until you find the one that is right for you!
