electric fireplaces at sears image
a kinder,
Do they really need to warn people not to eat them? Would someone say, "Hey, look! They gave me a packet of salt with my new shoes! Let's go out to eat!"?
Wouldn't someone who ate such a thing deserve what they got anyways?
You people are GREAT!!

need to ki need to know everything there is to know about POPCORN...?
JeNe
if for my cousins report ...due tomorrow...please help...
Answer
How many places of entertainment can you think of where popcorn is sold and eaten? ...At the Movies - which did not happen during the upstart years of theaters for some owners thought that the street popcorn vendor was a distraction to movie goers... at baseball games - who can't forget the infamous verse of "buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack" from the 1908 song Take Me Out to the Ball Game... at circuses, fairs and more!
In its early days, popcorn was sold in cities and towns all across America by street vendors. Many of these vendors were young men and boys who could make a pretty good living selling popcorn both popped (by the bag or shaped into balls or bricks) and unpopped. At a nickel a bag or 1¢ per popcorn ball, the profit in selling popcorn by an 1890s street vendor was said to be 70¢ on the dollar.
People of all ages ate popcorn and implemented its use in holiday decorations as well. For the home cooking adventurist there were recipes for making popcorn balls, candied popcorn, popcorn garnish for soup, "Pop-Corn" cakes, popcorn pudding, popcorn fritters, popcorn cereal, Cracker Jacks, chocolate covered popcorn and even popcorn brittle. Whew!
Early Popping Machines ⢠C. Cretors & Co.
Please take notice of the 1907 "Combination Peanut & Popcorn" machine illustration above. C. Cretors & Company is one of the oldest manufacturers of popcorn popping machinery dating back to the mid 1880s. This company & its workers were corn popping innovators at the turn of the 20th century with new ideas of selling and making popcorn machinery. Steam powered vending carts to horse drawn wagons mounted with peanut roasters and corn poppers were their main line. In 1907 electric powered corn poppers made their catalogue debut. For $240 one could purchase a free standing steam powered combination peanut & corn popper model on wheels in 1913. After surpassing their 100 year anniversary, you can still see the Cretors name at your favorite entertainment places.
⢠Popcorn Trivia â¢
⢠Sears, Roebuck & Co. sold home corn poppers for 8¢ each and 25lbs. of popping corn still on the cob at 5¢.
⢠Popcorn balls were among the most popular confections in the late 1800s & early 1900s.
⢠During the holiday season popcorn made for wonderful decorations from Christmas tree garlands to fireplace mantel ornaments in Victorian homes. It also made for inexpensive gifts.
⢠Some of the popcorn flavorings used during the mid 1800s - 1920: orange & lemon juice, rose, peppermint, honey, vanilla, molasses and sugar.
⢠One could host a "Popcorn Frolic" with the helpful hints from a 1912 party book. The party room would be decorated in a happy pink and white popcorn theme. Popcorn was not only eaten, but was used for party favors and in the games played - "corn-drop", "popcorn races", "popcorn hunt" and so on.
⢠An old 19th century method of cooking popcorn: Pour kernels of corn into a kettle full of lard. When the corn popped after heating it was skimmed off the top as it surfaced!
⢠The first cookbook to mention popcorn was in 1846.
⢠One of the largest popcorn balls ever made was 12 feet in diameter in 1996. It used 2000 pounds of popcorn to construct!
⢠1885 Pop-Corn Ball Recipe â¢
Popcorn balls could also be tinted with food coloring and some were even made with chopped nuts and graded cocoanut added to the recipe mixture.
A simple popcorn ball recipe: âTo six quarts of pop corn boil one pint of molasses about fifteen minutes; then put the corn into a large pan, pour the boiled molasses over it, and stir it briskly until thoroughly mixed. Then with clean hands make the balls of the desired size.â - recipe from an 1885 book by W. H. Colman.
