His revelation wasn’t aesthetic, however—he’d been to the gallery years before, and seen the same works on sale, but bought none.

According to The Popcorn Board, a part of the USDA, annual consumption averages forty-three quarts for every man, woman and child in the United States. So: a lot of popcorn. It’s a big enough deal that it qualifies not only for its own day (January 19 is National Popcorn Day), but has actually been granted its own month (October has been National Popcorn Poppin’ Month since 1999). And in Illinois, popcorn is the official state snack. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConsumption is nationwide, and even worldwide, but popcorn is strongly associated with Chicago.
