In case you’ve ever wondered how popcorn became a movie-watching staple, I’ve got a video here from TED-Ed explaining the history of popcorn and why we eat it at the movies. Every time I go to the movies, I have to get myself a big bucket of popcorn. It’s something I’ve been doing since I was a kid and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

Until this video came along, I actually had no idea why popcorn became a big thing in movies, but now I do…and knowing is half the battle.
Soft percussions and a toasted scent mark the violent transformation of hard seeds into cloud-like puffs. This is the almost magical process of making popcorn.

This TED-Ed lecture was written by Andrew Smith and directed by Mitchelle Tamariz, and was narrated by Addison Anderson.
