Happy National Popcorn Day!
Popcorn is perhaps the most versatile of all snack foods, popcorn has been an American staple for decades.
Despite being most commonly associated with cinemas and sporting events, over 70 percent of popcorn is consumed at home, and the United States leads the world in both production and consumption.
Since Thursday is National Popcorn Day, here are some fun facts about the popular snack!
Did you know? Popcorn comes in two distinct shapes: the mushroom and snowflake?
352,028,160: The minimum number of popped kernels needed to make a popcorn trail from New York City to Los Angeles.
Orville Redenbacher, perhaps the most famous popcorn popper of all time, began growing his own popcorn in 1944.
Americans consume 16 billion quarts of popcorn annually.
Long-lasting: According to Groupon, exploration of ancient Peruvian tombs turned up kernels that are still poppable, proving that popcorn can last for millennia.
Popcorn comes in many flavors, from classic butter and kettle-cooked to gourmet flavors including caramel and chocolate.

Helpful hint: Keeping berries fresh longer!
Berries are delicious, but they're also kind of delicate. Raspberries in particular seem like they can mold before you even get them home from the market. There's nothing more tragic than paying $4 for a pint of local raspberries, only to look in the fridge the next day and find that fuzzy mold growing on their insides.
Well, with fresh berries soon to be hitting farmers markets, we can tell you how to keep them fresh! Here’s a tip on how to prevent them from getting there in the first place:
Wash them with vinegar.
When you get your berries home, prepare a mixture of one part vinegar (white or apple cider probably work best) and ten parts water. Dump the berries into the mixture and swirl around. Drain, rinse if you want (though the mixture is so diluted you can't taste the vinegar,) and pop in the fridge. The vinegar kills any mold spores and other bacteria that might be on the surface of the fruit, and voila! Raspberries will last a week or more, and strawberries go almost two weeks without getting moldy and soft. So go forth and stock up on those pricey little gems, knowing they'll stay fresh as long as it takes you to eat them.

Senior Joke
During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, " How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"
