Popcorn has been around for thousands of years, archaeologists have found popcorn that dates around 3600 BC in Mexico.
In 1890 Chicago candy store owner Charles Cretor designed and built the first Popcorn maker. By the turn of the century, Cretor’s steam-powered machine was deployed in the form of street carts.
It became increasingly popular during the Great Depression as the inexpensive 5-10 cents bags were an affordable treat and during a time where candy and chocolates were rationed people just ate more popcorn!
As its dry and lightweight people started taking their own popcorn to places as a tasty snack. It became increasingly popular with theatre-goers, so much so that in the late 1930’s theater owners cashed in on the idea by installing popcorn machines in their lobbies.
A popular “Street Food” around the world but in China, they have a unique way of preparing this delicious treat. The popcorn kernels are loaded into a kettle and sealed. It is then heated over an open fire until the pressure is built up. When ready the kettle is placed in a mesh cage (to catch the popcorn) the seal is then released, the kettle shoots the popcorn into the cage like a cannon.
