"National" Days Definition

National Popcorn Day

Date When Celebrated : January 19

The origins of this holiday are unknown. We have not found any information or documentation to confirm this is a true "National" day. But, don't let that  pop (burst) your bubble, err pop your corn that is. It's a day to celebrate healthy (until you load it with salt and butter), and addicting popcorn.

Strangely, National Popcorn Day is in January, yet National Popcorn Month is October. According to tradition, it is celebrated on January 19th each year. There is some suggestion that Popcorn Day may, at one point, have been tied to the Superbowl. And, we found one reference to it being on January 30th.

On National Popcorn Day, we suggest you pop up some fresh popcorn, kick back and enjoy!

Quote of the Day: " I had popcorn all over the place. So I decided I might as well be in the Processing Business." - - Orville Redenbacher
