The oldest Snack in History

Pop! Pop! Pop! That is the sound of Americans making their favorite snack.

Americans began eating popcorn at the movies in 1912. But people have been

eating this healthy snack for thousands of years.

Native Americans ate popcorn. They also used popcorn to make jewelry

like necklaces. They brought popcorn to the Pilgrims on the first Thanksgiving.

The Pilgrims loved this new food. They put cream on it and ate popcorn cereal

for breakfast.

One of the early ways to pop corn was over a fire. Native Americans would

put a corncob on a stick. They would hold the corn over the fire. The kernels of corn popped right on

the cob. Later, people popped their corn in clay pots. Today you do not need a fire or a pot. You can

use a microwave to pop the corn.

What makes popcorn pop? There is a drop of water inside each kernel of corn. When the kernel

gets very, very hot, the moisture inside turns to steam. The steam makes the kernel pop open.

Many people like to flavor their popcorn. Other people put sugar on it to make it taste sweet.

Some popcorn can taste like cheese or chocolate. Popcorn tastes good, and it is good for you if you

don’t put too much butter, salt, cheese, or chocolate on it. Choose a healthy snack of popcorn today.

William said.

“That’s great! I’ll be here if you need me,” Mom said.

William stepped into the lake. He started moving in the water the way Goldie did. He

practiced this for a while. At first he could keep his feet off the bottom of the lake for only first he
