Popcorn Day

A day for popcorn, the crunchy snack that makes any movie night feel complete. It is light, salty or sweet, and made for sharing.

How it is celebrated: people watch films with a giant bucket on their laps, try flavours from plain salted to caramel and set up a home cinema for friends and family.

A kernel pops because the water sealed inside its hard shell turns to steam at around 180 degrees Celsius, until the pressure bursts it open.
