With this declaration, a very important day was created for many reasons. But, two of them really &#8220;pop&#8221; into our minds.\u00a0 reasons. First, it gives recognition to a very important and healthy snack food. Second, this day gives recognition to all those who love popcorn.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Every year on this day, people everywhere should pop a batch of popcorn. Have it any way you want: plain, buttered salted, cheese, or any other flavorings. We encourage you to be adventuresome and try all of the different flavorings today.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">You can microwave it, pop it in a hot air popper, or pop it in oil. For a smoky flavor, pop it in a wire basket in your wood fireplace.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Popcorn is good for you until you slather on butter and salt. It is a novel plant to grow in your garden, too. And, it is also a great fundraiser. Groups like the Boy Scouts of America and Cub Scouts, sell popcorn each ear to support their organization.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">On this day, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spread the joy of eating popcorn to others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-372c50b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"372c50b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0f96ed3\" data-id=\"0f96ed3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36cf288 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"36cf288\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gardenersnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/vegetable\/popcorn.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7696\" alt=\"Popcorn Ears\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e2bcc9a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e2bcc9a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5cc7eae\" data-id=\"5cc7eae\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c1e906 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8c1e906\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">History and Origin of Popcorn Lover's Day<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-75b9d94 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"75b9d94\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-44e3117\" data-id=\"44e3117\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e3d7eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e3d7eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p align=\"Left\">This day was created on January 6, 2012, by Bob Matthews of Rochester, NY.
