POPCORN

These days, it's hard to even think about watching a movie without a large tub of popcorn with extra butter and salt.  Come on, a movie without the popcorn just simply isn't worth thinking about.  How many of us actually know where popcorn came from.  Though the actual name of the person who invented popcorn will be lost in time forever, we do know that popcorn was invented by the Native American Indians who occupied what is now known as the United States of America.  Dried corn was heated over the campfire and then was eaten without salt or butter as a snack.  Native American Indians introduced popcorn to Caucasian settlers who ended up stealing their land from them.  Americans then introduced popcorn to England (Who once ruled over the United States of America which was then known as the Thirteen Colonies).  Popcorn then spread from England to the rest of Europe.  Well, the rest was history.  So the next time you eat popcorn while watching a movie, thank all the Native American Indians for inventing the popcorn that you're eating right now.
As I'm lost in thought about popcorn, here are some photos of rock star Stephanie McIntosh.
