Popcorn is a variety of corn that is dehydrated and heated. When heated, pressure builds and the kernel pops open. Buttered popcorn is commonly associated with trips to the movie theater. It is also made in many other varieties such as caramel and cheddar.

How old should a child be to eat popcorn?
It honestly depends on the child. Does the child have the majority of their teeth in the back of their mouth? If they don't, they aren't ready because they can't chew the popcorn. By age 2 or so, the average child has enough teeth to do the job. The next question is how does the child approach food? If the answer is tentative/cautious then it will probably be alright to introduce the food. If the child is a "fast gulper" or a "mouth stuffer" then the introduction of popcorn or like foods will require close supervision. Be calm and be ready. Most of the time the child will handle the situation. If they can't, that is where the parent comes in.
How many calories in air popped popcorn?
The answer to this question varies on the oil one uses. The popcorn lists the calories in uncooked measurements. Usually 1/4 cup uncooked is one serving. Add the information off of the oil or margerine etc. you are popping your corn in. Usually 1 Tablespoon is enough to cook your popcorn. This amount normally is about 100 calories depending on what you are using. If you heat more margerine or butter to pour on top of your popcorn after it is cooked add that amount in as well. Spices and herbs are free!
Should you give popcorn to a dog?
Probably not! I was always taught that dogs should only be given dog food.
When the water inside the kernal turns to steam, the steam cannot escape through the kernal's hard shell, so the kernal explodes like a hand grenade. The liquid starch inside spews in all directions, and is instantly cooked by the steam into the puffy, delightful balls of goodness we all enjoy munching at the movies.
Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees centigrade, so whatever brings the kernal up to that internal temperature without burning it will make the kernal pop.
How many popcorn kernels are in one cup?

What type of energy is the heat released by a streaming bag of popcorn?
A microwave uses high frequency and high energy electromagnetic waves to heat food. The electromagnetic energy transfers to the food molecules making them move faster and they release the energy as heat when the molecules return to their normal state.
Within minutes, a teardrop-shaped kernel no larger than a pea can magically mushroom into a fluffy treat that's many times its original volume. The tasty secret: water. Each popcorn kernel contains a hard outer shell and a starchy inside surrounding a dab of water. When the kernels are heated to about 450 degrees Fahrenheit (232 degrees Celsius), the pocket of water turns into steam and expands within the tough casing. Like blowing up a balloon, as more and more steam forms, the pressure against the outer shell increases. When the shell can no longer contain the building pressure, it finally gives way with the classic pop. The kernel turns inside-out, revealing the softened starch that makes up the white spongy part of your favorite movie snack.

Can hamsters eat butter popcorn?
It would not form part of the natural diet and is thus probably not good for them.
Feed your hamsters proper hamster food and provide it with water. It will also need hard things to chew on (not food) so that it can wear its teeth down because they grow continuously.
If your hamster has eaten a little bit of butter by accident, don't worry it will probably be OK, just try not to let it happen again.
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.
Popcorn is not too healthy because now, it has a lot of butter.
Where can one purchase hot air popcorn poppers at a cheap price?

How did native Americans make popcorn?
They called Italy and asked them to send them some olives, because they had trouble making olive oil because olives don't grow in North America.
What role does oil play in the preparation of popcorn?
The type of oil affects the taste of the popcorn, and you need an oil that can be heated to high temperatures. Popcorn pops when it reaches a temperature of 450°F (232°C). Movie theaters frequently use coconut oil which is said to be the best-tasting, but some now offer popcorn for the health-conscious, such as popcorn made with canola oil or air-popped popcorn. Other oils that can be used to pop popcorn are sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, and soybean oil. Avoid oils that will smoke at popcorn popping temperatures, such as olive oil or grape seed oil.
Jiffy pop is the easiest...the kind in the sealed pan with the wire handle but otherwise you can buy a popcorn basket from most camping supply stores/ walmart seasonal dept etc.
If it is an outdoor campfire roll a couple of green (wet) logs into the fire and use an old pot with a tight lid and lots of oil.
