October is officially here, and with it comes a celebration near and dear to our hearts—National Popcorn Month! At C. Cretors & Company, we’ve been popping, innovating, and revolutionizing the snack world since 1885, and this month offers the perfect opportunity to honor the humble kernel that brings joy to millions worldwide.
A Brief History of Popcorn
Popcorn has a long and storied history, dating back thousands of years. However, the golden age of popcorn truly began when Charles Cretors, our founder, invented the first commercial popcorn machine. This innovation not only revolutionized street snacks but also established popcorn as a staple of American culture—paving the way for its rise in movie theaters, fairs, and homes across the country.
Why Celebrate Popcorn?
Popcorn is more than just a snack—it’s an experience. Whether you're at the movies, enjoying a cozy night in, or walking through a bustling carnival, popcorn is the treat that ties memories together. Its delicious simplicity and variety of flavors—from classic buttered to caramel and cheese-coated creations—have made it a timeless favorite. National Popcorn Month is a reminder to take a moment, savor the crunch, and share the love with friends and family.
