In the depression popcorn sold for 0.5-.10 and
was one of the few luxuries for those families with
a little less in their pockets.
As stated in October--Americans consume 17
BILLION quarts of popcorn a year and an
average American consumes about 54 QUARTS.
Microwave popcorn sales has accounted for
$240 MILLION in the 1990's.
Popcorn is an ideal snack between meals
because it satisfies and doesn't spoil an
appetite.
3C = 1 serving from the grain group.
Use it to top soups or salads.
Combine with dried fruit and nuts to create
a snack.
Make popcorn balls.
HAPPY POPPING!!!!

ReplyDeleteI see Dan just missed his National Holiday...I'll have to let him know, although I know he honored it by eating a bag last night.

Here I am a day late and a dollar short again. I always email the grandkiddos when I find a good National day. I love popcorn and usually have it micro style then sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese and cayenne pepper on it. Hubby I pop on top of the stove so I can restrict his salt, bummer! Thanks for the poppin' info, I always enjoy the rest of the story!
ReplyDeleteGod bless!
I never knew there was a popcorn day.
