Popcorn isn't just for movies...
Americans consume 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn annually - that’s 54 quarts per person.
- Popcorn makes a great replacement for non-recyclable packing peanuts. Just advise your friends not to eat this filler when their package arrives.
- Save old popcorn for your next trip to the park, and use it as feeder for birds.
- Compost your old kernels rather than trashing them. This is recommended for popcorn that hasn’t been loaded up with butter and salt.
- Show your kids how to use old, unpopped kernels as the noise-making component in homemade instruments.
- Make arts and crafts projects with the family to be used as decorations around the home and gifts for friends.
- Get a group together and start stringing! These strings of garland can be used as decorations for parties and holidays.
