An Explosive Snack

Pop. Pop. Pop, pop, pop-pop-pop-pop! It’s Popcorn Day! In the 16th century, popcorn was used to decorate Aztec headdresses in Mexico. It became a popular food in the United States in the 19th century. Charles Cretors developed a steam popper, and sold popcorn on horse-drawn wagons. You can even pop corn on the cob!
