Their sentiment evolved gradually – some allowed vendors to walk up and down the aisles selling their popcorn, much like vendors at ballgames still do today. Movie house proprietors tolerated them, but didn’t want them actually inside where their popcorn would litter the floor. Popcorn vendors appeared outside movie houses since the beginning of movies. When did people start eating popcorn in movie theaters? Popcorn took off in the mid-1800s and found a place in the budding American fun-food kingdom at the end of the 19th century, thanks, in part, to industrialization and the making of portable popcorn poppers.
BUT – the Colonist did eat popcorn, most notably as cereal, served with cream and sugar. When the settlers arrived, they were not greeted by bowls of popcorn, as some suggested, and no evidence exists that popcorn was served at the first Thanksgiving table. Native Americans popped corn for untold years, by placing the kernels in hot sand, as only one example.
