I’ve always wondered how it is that the first person who made popcorn came to a) obtain the right kind of corn, b) happen to dry it to just the right moisture content, and c) think to heat it over dry heat, to make popcorn. Maybe a wildfire swept through their corn patch, after the corn was somewhat dry, and made popcorn, then the ancient farmer tried to duplicate the process under controlled conditions?

Making popcorn simply would not come to mind, if someone had never seen it before.

“Wow. Without fire-retardant-dropping airplanes and water-dropping helicopters, it appears this lightning-caused fire has gotten out of control and is burning through Bob’s corn field. Look at what’s happening to the burning corn! It fluffs up! Does this give you any ideas?”

“Yeah, Let’s burn down Bob’s hut. I can’t stand the guy. He’s always showing off that new rock knife of his and my wife says it makes our wood knife look cheap.”

That’s pretty impressive, actually, because it means they must have invented the microwave oven, too.

My uncle in Peru (he's from Germany and moved after WWII) has a popcorn farm there.
