Trace the history of popcorn, from its origins in the Americas to its explosion of popularity in the 20th century.
--
Soft percussion and a toasty scent mark the violent transformation of tough seeds into cloud-like puffs. This is the almost magical process of popcorn-making. Dozens of kinds of popcorn are now grown in the US, with different strains assuming distinctive shapes when their kernels explode. So, how did we actually end up with this whimsical food? Andrew Smith traces the history of popcorn.
Lesson by Andrew Smith, directed by Mitchelle Tamariz.

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.

“Let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby, let’s all go to the lobby, to get ourselves a treat” From an old movie theatre intermission bumper. These days movies don’t have intermissions, even if they’re like 3 hours long, but they used to and this bumper let everyone know when the intermission happened. Intermissions were good breaks not just for the audience, but also for the projectionist since it gave them time to load a new film reel into the projector that contained the rest of the movie but sometimes the projector needed some downtime before the projectionist could do that. Intermissions usually took about 15 minutes before the audience could re-enter the auditorium and finish the movie

I had no idea popcorn had such an ancient history! And I actually remember thinking a while back about why it's used in movie theaters: it's quick and easy to make, it's very light but very filling, and it has a mild, inoffensive taste that can be enhanced with salt or butter if needed, making it perfect for the events and locations it's used for, like circuses and carnivals

It's tragic that buying at the theaters will set you back at least $6...a fact my Mom would find appalling.

My parents were both born in 1918, and said that eating popcorn at the movie theater was a common and expected thing during the silent movie era of the 1920s. I've seen another source that said popcorn wasn't sold in theaters until WW2 due to sugar rationing. Could be popcorn was more common here in the Midwest than say the east or west coast?

When the movie theaters started they had no snacks. It was very soon after that the popcorn vendors and other snack vendors set up outside the theaters. It took a few years, but once the theater owners realized they were losing money by not selling snacks they changed their minds. And so the concession stand was born. All this happened in the early 1910's, and it was all across America.
@rphb5870
@rphb5870 8 месяцев назад
yea I also doubt the claim that they weren't sold in cinemas, especially due to a "refined theatre experience" ye know where the trope of throwing fruit, eggs and vegetables at bad actors come from? Due to the fact that people actually brought these things with them doing Shakespeare time, and even the old Romans sold food in their arenas. It is just an inherently human thing to eat while sitting and watching stuff. Popcorn became so popular because it is cheap, but it fulfilled a pre existing need

I actually researched why popcorn was sold in movie theaters years ago. In addition to everything here, WWII caused the shipping of sugary British sweets to the US to come to a halt, escalating the demand of popcorn in US theaters. Also, theater designs & employee uniforms are modeled after opera theaters & that aesthetic continues to this day.

If anyone wants more info on corn in general -- or, more correctly, maize -- the book Midwest Maize: How Corn Shaped the U.S. Heartland goes into more detail -- including when popcorn actually reached the U.S. (later than is sometimes thought -- because parched corn is not popcorn), why popcorn balls were once such a big deal, and why the Cretor's popcorn machine was such a hit at the 1893 World's Fair. But the book also covered all the other forms of maize, from corn meal to sweet corn. It's a big story.

A bit of trivia you probably left out because it is so well known and low brow, but for the rare person who does not know; popcorn became the food of choice in movie theatres for practical and biological reasons. In the early days of cinema people were expected to sit for longer and longer periods of time as films grew from 20 minute shorts to 81-101 minute feature length movies into multi-hour epics. The projectionist couldn't interrupt the movie every time someone in the audience needed to relieve themselves, that would be impractical, and people who needed to use the restroom during the movie complained afterward that they missed parts of the movie they paid to see: which as you can imagine left them with a sour experience of cinema. As if by natural selection, popcorn with its slightly constipating properties became the cinema food of choice as it helped people sit for longer periods of time without need to excuse themselves to the restroom.

Wow I literally made a video about a debate between whether pizza or popcorn is the best (sprinkled with logical fallacies 😂) and just NOW noticed you made a video about the history of popcorn, which I briefly brought up in the imaginary debate! Ted-ED I ❤ you!!!

Once again, TED-Ed sprinkles its fairy dust (Brewer's Yeast? Better Cheddar?) and the mundane becomes fascinating. Loved the history, evolution and social forces at work: accounting for 40% of a cinema's profits with a 1000% mark-up... My mind is popped.
