1 Do you like popcorn? Most people in the United
States do. Every year, they eat more than 200 cups
of it per person. That is a lot of popcorn!

But they get popcorn in other places, too. They
buy boxes of it at baseball or basketball games.
They also get it at the movies. Many U.S. movie
theaters smell like popcorn.

popcorn kernels and some hot oil. The hot oil
makes the kernels pop. That is because every kernel
has a little water in it. When the water gets hot,
steam makes the kernel pop.

butter, too. Others like popcorn with sugar on it.
