Such a lovely story. I especially enjoyed this since I finally broke down and purchased the Whirly Popper in stainless steel. A Rolls Royce when it comes to popping but worth every cent. Thank you for a pleasant read!

Fun to read, Martha, and so nice to see that you are still making use of your museum studies experience! PS -- thanks to you, I had popcorn last night :)
Great story Martha! We had Popcorn every Sunday night. Dinner was always after church so for Supper we had sandwiches and a bowl of popcorn while watching Disney and Bonanza. Mum used vegetable oil, covered with kernels in a covered pot on the stove, shaking it gently when it began to pop. Salt was the only garnish.

I loved your article. I always learn something from history buzz. However, I think that one of the crank poppers is actually a bread machine.

As a lifelong popcorn addict, I was absolutely fascinated! Who knew?!?
Superb post, Martha!!!

Amazing history of everyday popcorn. But chocolate? Well, maybe...
