Popcorn

Popcorn is about the longest lasting pop culture food that is still around and kicking.  When I watch a movie, either at the theater or just at home, I always think of a big bowl of buttery popcorn.  Believe it or not, popcorn was introduced to the U.S. in the early 1800's.  It wasn't until the 1940's until popcorn really took off in the theaters and hasn't slowed much since.  Actually, popcorn accounts for almost 50% of theater revenue.  It has dropped from 80% in 1945.  Nevertheless, popcorn is the still most popular movie entertainment food around.
