January 19, 2021 News We Want to Share With You IT’S NATIONAL POPCORN DAY! On January 19th, National Popcorn Day pops onto the scene with a crunch we all love to enjoy! The annual celebration recognizes a treat that satisfies munchies, day or night. This time-honored snack can be sweet or savory, caramelized, buttered or plain, molded into a candied ball, or tossed with nuts and chocolate. Popcorn started becoming popular in the United States in the middle 1800s. It wasn’t until Charles Cretors, a candy-store owner, developed a machine for popping corn with steam that the tasty treat became more abundantly poppable. By 1900, Cretors had horse-drawn popcorn wagons going through the streets of Chicago. Ohio Tech Ambassador Network Announces Statewide Kickoff Event!
