Happy National Popcorn Day!

Here's your excuse to be a little corny -- it's National Popcorn Day. So pop some fresh popcorn, and enjoy!

According to the Popcorn Board, Americans eat about 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year. That adds up to about 52 quarts per man, woman, and child.

And in the early 1980's, microwave popcorn was born into the popcorn family.
