Sunday, January 19, is National Popcorn Day. If that’s not enough, here are a few more reasons why Marcus Theatres and Movie Tavern are ready to celebrate this tasty snack (Facts from Popcorn.org and Britannica):
· Americans love popcorn and eat more of it than anywhere else, consuming 14 billion quarts of this whole grain snack
· There are 8 major popcorn growing states in the U.S. and Marcus Theatres has cinemas or movie taverns in 6 of them (Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio)
· Popcorn refers to both the popped kernel and the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack
· Popcorn was temporarily banned from movie theatres in 1949 for being too loud of a snack
