      EXTRA BUTTER PLEASE!

    Now here's a special day you probably

never heard of! December 2nd is "Business

of Making Popcorn Day!"  For years

people made popcorn by placing unpopped

kernels in a wire basket with a long handle.

They held the basket over an open flame

until those kernels popped. But in December

of 1885 a fellow named Charles Cretors

secured a patent for a steam powered

popcorn maker which could produce large

quantities of popcorn in a very short time.

Suddenly popcorn making became a

profitable business! It still is! Just check

your area movie theater where popcorn

is made for pennies and sold for dollars

every day! I still enjoy my popcorn. But

these days I pass on the wire basket and

the modern version of Cretor's machine 

in favor of a microwave bag! 3 minutes

and I've got all the popcorn I need. With

extra butter by the waya! Enjoy your

popcorn! Hope all your NEWS is good!
