Oh joy! Happy Popcorn Day to those of us living in the good old U.S of A.

I'm going to buy some popcorn today and celebrate         .

Oh, and in October, it's National Popcorn Month. I'll eat popcorn every day in October

And what's popcorn without a movie (or vice versa)?  Ron, what do you lot munch on while at the cinema?

A local radio station here every morning refers to their "giant, 8 foot Gregorian wall calendar" to announce what "Day" it is that day.  Apparently, every day over here there is at least one designation, sometimes several, with who knows what origin.  Some of them are pretty strange too!

Whenever I went it was my knuckles! Lol

Just thought I would own up to this post with the missing avatar. I have no idea why it didn't show, not as though it took more than an hour to type eh? Lol

Did anybody Google 'Popcorn Day' I wonder?

I've never heard about popcorn day over here Ron, are you sure it isn't an store revival to make money?.....I do see that Pillsbury bought out Cadabury today..and Japan airlines filed for an chapter 11 bankruptcy...and the man that founded "Taco Bell" restruants has passed away...but nothing about an "Popcorn Day". I would think its eaten to every day style to make an special day of it though. There's popcorn chicken restruants you know...but I don't see many beating their way to the door here in town.
