Air-popped
popcorn is naturally high in fiber, low in calories and fat, contains
no sodium, and is sugar free. This can make it an attractive snack
to people with dietary restrictions on the intake of calories,
fat, and/or sodium. For the sake of flavor, however, large amounts
of fat, sugar, and sodium are often added to prepared popcorn,
which can quickly convert it to a very poor choice for those on
restricted diets. One particularly notorious example of this first
came to public attention in the mid-1990s, when the Center for
Science in the Public Interest produced a report about "Movie
Popcorn", which became the subject of a widespread publicity
campaign. The movie theaters surveyed used coconut oil to pop
the corn, and then topped it with butter or margarine. "A
medium-size buttered popcorn", the report said, "contains
more fat than a breakfast of bacon and eggs, a Big Mac and fries,
and a steak dinner combined." The practice continues
today. For example, according to DietFacts.com, a small popcorn
from Regal Cinema Group (the largest theater chain in the United
States) still contains 29 g of saturated fat, as much as three
Big Macs and the equivalent of a full day-and-a-half's reference
daily intake.
The
world's largest popcorn ball was unveiled in October 2006 in Lake
Forest, Illinois. It weighed 3,415 pounds (1550 kilograms), measured
8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter, and had a circumference of 24.6 feet
(8 m).
