“Popcorn is a very old snack that comes from a special kind of corn. When heated, this corn pops and turns into the delightful treat we know today. The oldest popcorn ever found was discovered in a cave in New Mexico, and it’s approximately 5,600 years old! Long before movies or television existed, people in Mexico and Peru enjoyed eating popcorn. They even used it to create decorations and jewelry for their gods. The Aztec people had a unique ‘popcorn dance,’ during which young women would wear garlands made of popcorn.”
