When asked whether marijuana or alcohol would be more harmful to personal health, if marijuana were as widely available as alcohol, 69 percent of Americans said alcohol is more dangerous, while only 15 percent said that marijuana is more dangerous. Fourteen percent said both or neither are more dangerous.
Popcorn probably grew first in Mexico, though it was also used in China and India hundreds of years before Columbus reached the Americas. The oldest popcorn ever found was discovered in the Bat Cave of central New Mexico. It is thought to be about 5,600 years old.
For many years, however, the only way to make popcorn was on the stove or through the use of an air popper. It wasnât until the early 1980âs that microwave popcorn was able to join this food product family thanks to the distribution efforts of General Mills. The story behind this product, however, is much more complicated than one might think.
