people eat popcorn, because movie theaters sell popcorn.

movie theaters sell popcorn, because it is cheap and easy to make, so they can make a good amount of money on it

For some reason watching TV makes people hungry and popcorn is cheap and easy to make and that is why movie theatre's sell it.

People started eating popcorn at movies during the Great Depression, because it was cheap and easy to make. I guess it's a sort of tradition and Americans have acquired the taste after a while.

1. The unpopped kernels are cheap and take up little space in storage.

2. The smell is strong and universally pleasant: as soon as you enter the cinema the first thing you notice is the smell and have to consider buying it.

3. Little equipment is necessary to produce it fresh: a popping machine, bags, and melted butter.

4. Easy to grab and eat during movies without distracting you from watching it during the movie.

5. People crave salty foods because salt was a scare but necessary mineral for our Neolithic ancestors.

I'd say it's because popcorn has a certain flavor that makes your taste buds pop. No, that isn't the real reason, I think that it's because popcorn has such a flavor that isn't too salty or too sweet, plus it isn't that hard to make and it just is sort of a movie-watching tradition. You wouldn't eat spaghetti at the movies, now would you?

How to Select a Great Popcorn Maker?

Popcorn is a healthy snack that can be enjoyed everyday. The problem is that most people eat microwave popcorn, which lacks the taste and quality of freshly popped popcorn. The best way to enjoy popcorn is to purchase a popcorn maker so that you can make fresh popcorn from the comfort of your own home. Popcorn makers are easy to find and easy to use, and below we provide some tips on how to select a good one: • When shopping for a popcorn maker, there are a few styles to consider. Some popcorn makers go on the stove or in a fire, while others plug in to the wall. Popcorn makers that plug in to the wall are a little more convenient, but the best ones are those that cook over flames. Also, if you’re not yet ready to buy a popcorn maker that cooks over flames, there are disposable ones that can be bought for a relatively cheap price. • Whatever kind of popcorn popper you get, you’ll need to follow some basic popcorn popping techniques. You’ll need some kind of oil to help speed the heating process and prevent the popcorn from burning, as well as giving the popcorn some extra flavor and helping keep the popcorn maker clean. Plug-in popcorn makers won’t really need too much oil because they cook the popcorn mostly with hot air. For popcorn makers you use over a flame, you’ll definitely need oil, at least enough to cover the unpopped kernels. Once you’ve popped the popcorn in your popcorn maker, you’ll want to season it. A little salt can go a long way, as well as butter and any other toppings you choose to use. Some good toppings to try are seasoning salt, sugar, garlic, powdered cheese, paprika and cinnamon.
