Popcorn’s origins date back to the early 16th century. Since maize was such a widespread crop among Mesoamerican civilizations, many cultures made popcorn and used it to decorate their ceremonial garb. The snack became a staple in the United States during the 1800s, and was first eaten as a breakfast meal with milk! The first-ever popcorn maker was invented in the 1890s, allowing more people to enjoy the crunchy treat.

From farms to fairgrounds to films, popcorn has since exploded in pop-ularity throughout the world. Different countries and regions now have their own flavorful spins for this timeless snack: pipoca in Brazil, nori-topped popcorn in Japan, Za’atar popcorn in the Middle East, maple popcorn in Canada — the list goes on!

Whether it’s caramel-coated, kettle-cooked, smothered in butter, or just lightly salted, popcorn is a fun and light treat that’s always a-maize-ingly delicious.
