Making History with Popcorn Supplies

Posted by empirepopcorn on May 1st, 2014

Did you know that Popcorn, a sweet or savoury snack enjoyed by millions all over the world today, was once considered a huge luxury? Dating back to the 1930’s during the American Depression, popcorn priced at around five or ten cents a bag, was one of just a few different luxuries the lower class families could afford to enjoy. Lifting the spirits of American families everywhere, even during the Second World War, around the 1940’s popcorn again cropped up. With sugar being in short supply, Americas sweet tooth were craving a replacement, and so sweet popcorn stepped forward to fill the gap, and fill the gap it did!

With its popularity taking a huge a huge dive in the 1950’s due to people not going to the cinema as much, Popcorn was barely given a second thought, that was until it was re-introduced as a great TV snack. And so begin its second ascent into snack history. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that now; the average American will consume nearly ten stone of popcorn per year. And who can blame them with so many beautiful new flavours to choose from. But it’s not just America that are huge fans of the food, it’s taking over the UK too.
