Fast Curious Facts #8 Pop goes the kernel

in #education6 years ago (edited)

I was at the movies last night and I was amazed, thrilled and in love with what I had in front of me, what a wonderful invention, feeling my soul and... wait I'm not talking about the movies, no dudes I'm talking about FUCKING POPCORNS MAN!!!

And you know what popcorn have history, the very first popcorns were found in New Mexico and are almost 5600 years old, can you imagine that? Aztects, Olmecs and Mayans gathering together, whole families to the mass executions and sacrifices to the gods... of course they did that guys, what did you expect? They didn't have movies back then, jeez.

Ok, they use them as decorations for headdresses and necklaces for ceremonial purposes, why do you have to ruin everything? But you know what popcorn was one the first forms of breakfast cereal in for the colonies in 'Murica, colonial women poured sugar and milk over popcorn, yeah that they did as we do, no joke here, yeah, keep looking at that gif, don't stop, you know you like it.


It even had a great influence during the times of the Great Depression (great choice for words, right?) because it was cheap and easy to make, easy to access and most important it made children bellies full with fewer resources, NO, NOT THAT GREAT THE DEPRESSION, THE ONE WHERE PEOPLE WAS STRUGGLING WITH... oh never mind...

fgfgfjghjfgh :3

... what was that? @zoexantelamv is that you? Weird!

AND NOW IT CAME TO OUR THEATERS AS THE MAIN EVENT TO FILL OUR BELLIES AND OUR SOULS WITH ITS GRANDEUR, TO COVER OUR SORROWS WITH A MANTLE MADE SWEET HONEY OR THE SOFTEST BUTTER, TO CRACK OUR WORRIED MINDS WITH THE SOUND OF THUNDER AND... What do you mean is not the main feature in a movie theater? THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED "MOVIE" THEATER?!?! WHAT?!?! NO WAY!!!

Popcorn is really tasty, but we pop it ourselves now, who knows what kind of butter-esque chemicals are in that other stuff.

Right? I prefer my own popped kernel, I can add on butter or salt later but those yellow ones seem a bit unnatural... Lovecraft unnatual

Plus I prefer the saftey of a cave or mountain top to a public place where strangers touch the popcorn.
