Argentina, South Africa and South Europe
Corn was an important food for the Indians. It was also important for the religion. When
Columbus and other Europeans visited the New World, they saw this. When the Indians

an important holiday in the United States, but people don’t usually eat popcorn for this
holiday now.
In the 1920s, people started selling popcorn at movies. Now most movie theaters in the
United States sell popcorn. Popcorn and movie go together very well.
