Inspired by our popcorn-themed gay sex orgy, I’ve done some interesting research about popcorn, here’s what I found:

• The oldest ears of popcorn ever found were discovered in the Bat Cave of west central New Mexico in 1948 and 1950. Ranging from smaller than a penny to about 2 inches, the oldest Bat Cave ears are about 4,000 years old. (from Encyclopedia Popcornia http://www.popcorn.org/encyclopedia/epanhist.cfm)

• Bernardino de Sahagun writes: “And also a number of young women danced, having so vowed, a popcorn dance. As thick as tassels of maize were their popcorn garlands. And these they placed upon (the girls’) heads.” (from http://www.tooeletranscript.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=18123&Itemid=)

• The folklore of some Native American tribes told of spirits who lived inside each kernel of popcorn. The spirits were quiet and content to live on their own, but grew angry if their houses were heated. The hotter their homes became, the angrier they would become, shaking the kernels until the heat was too much. Finally, they would burst out of their homes and into the air as a disgruntled puff of steam. (from Popcorn: Ingrained in America’s Agricultural History, http://www.nal.usda.gov/speccoll/images1/popcorn.html)

• A kernel of popcorn contains a small amount of water stored inside a circle of soft starch. This is why popcorn needs to maintain a certain level of moisture. The soft starch is surrounded by the kernel’s hard outer surface. As the kernel heats up, the water expands, building pressure against the hard starch surface. Eventually, this outer layer gives way, causing the popcorn to explode. As it explodes, the soft starch inside the popcorn becomes inflated and bursts, turning the kernel inside out. The steam inside the kernel is released, and the popcorn is popped, hot and ready to eat. (Popcorn: Ingrained…)

Fascinating, right? Well, I have one other fact to add. POPCORN IS FANTASTIC TO FUCK IN!!! (from ME) Just watch these guys going insane, fucking like a den of horny jackrabbits. And all because their steeped in a rich history and balls deep in some creamy, thick, buttery, butt-pumping goodness. Orville Redenbacher would be SO proud….
