Google Doodle Today: Google is celebrating the iconic movie theatre snacks, popcorn, with a special interactive Doodle. Users can now enjoy a fun multiplayer game, accessible directly from Google’s homepage. The game allows participants to compete with players worldwide, all in the spirit of celebrating this iconic snack.
Whether you’re at the cinema or binge-watching your favourite shows at home, popcorn has long been the perfect companion. Its popularity also extends to casual outings with friends, making it a universally loved treat.
Why Did Google Bring A Special Doodle On Popcorn?
Today’s Doodle marks a fun historical moment in popcorn’s legacy: in 2020, the world’s largest popcorn machine earned a global record in Thailand.
The invention of the first popcorn machine in the 1890s revolutionised how the snack was enjoyed, making it a crowd favourite at events and theatres alike.
Popcorn itself has an ancient history, originating from maize cultivation in Mesoamerican cultures, and was even used for decorative purposes by various civilisations. Interestingly, in the US, popcorn made its debut in the 1800s, not as a movie snack but as a breakfast cereal.
