Why do we eat popcorn at the movies? - Andrew Smith
video description
One American food scientist spent the better part of 40 years of his life growing and perfecting what he saw as the perfect corn for popcorn; he spent so long on this project that by the time he launched his popcorn brand to the public, he was in his early sixties.
The food scientist in question? Orville Redenbacher

Why do we eat popcorn at the movies? I guess the question is about going to theaters and buying popcorn, drinks, and some other different things. I live in Europe, and I remember times when there was no such thing, no one asked, and no one offered anything besides movie projection, and I remember the evolution, how first popcorns appeared, later soda, juice, and there was a time when in cinema-theaters there was beer too. But, I personally rarely eat things while watching movies at home.
My point is, that is a matter of habit.

My grandfather, who recently passed away, was a popcorn eccentric. He used to experiment with different flavors and toppings just for the thrill of it. One night, he decided to try making popcorn with coconut oil instead of the usual butter. To our family's surprise, it turned out to be the most delicious popcorn we ever had. Thanks for the video, it truly brings me back.

Hey, TedEd just uploaded a video
Amazing. Is it another ground breaking discovery or the heart wrenching literature or something from the vastness and depth of knowledge of the varieties.
Uhh, it's about Popcorn.
Well, if TedEd has uploaded it, must be wonderful and it is, afterall, important contributor to advancement of mankind.

My favourite snackfood. There's a local mall with a movie theatre attached, I have definitely finished shopping trips with a swing into the concession stand for some fresh popcorn to take home. By this point I'm sure I've spent enough to have been able to purchase my own popcorn machine lol

I worked at a movie theater last year. One time, I was cleaning the filters beneath the soda towers and I found a popcorn kernel sprouting. It had fallen down there at some point and had been saturated by the water and soda falling through the filter.

Why is popcorn served in theaters? Simple. Popcorn is noisy. When a theater is full of people munching popcorn, the movie gets drowned out and people miss some of the dialogue. This forces them to watch the movie again to get the whole story.

People always complain about the price of popcorn at the movie theater. Yes you can make popcorn yourself for a lot less but it will not taste as good. Is it overpriced? Sure! Is it superior to what you can make at home? IMO it is.

Should've talked more about the flavors of popcorn around the world. Butter and salt, caramel, cheese, kettle, and who knows how many others! Any recipes? I only know of 2, which require white popcorn (no offense) and coconut oil.

I immediately clicked this video because I have a friend named Andrew Smith and he loves movies and popcorn and I was watching Ted Ed mythological animation and thinking about sharing it with him.
What a lot of coincidence

larger popcorn pop size just means you're paying exhorbitantly ever increasingly more for an already exhorbitantly priced food for an exponentially decreasing amount of actual food. More airy popcorn, less actual food.

Putting this as a reminder so when I come back to watch this every time I comment on it with the number I watched it. (I have watched the history of cheese video at Lear 40 times so this time I want to keep track)

Picture this: one fateful afternoon, somebody was just cooking corn seeds when out of no where the food just starts exploding. Then they picked up that little white ball and said, I wonder if you can eat this.

Use yellow kernels, 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and 1/3 cup of kernels. Toss it in 1/2 teaspoon flavacol The best way to make popcorn at home! Also pop over medium heat!

My favorite thing in the world is the fact that grabbing some popcorn denotes that whatever happens to be going on in real life is extremely dramatic and entertaining.
