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 way! Enjoy your
popcorn! Hope all your NEWS is good!
