Virtually everyone loves popcorn. In fact, in a recent NationalToday survey, 92% of Americans said that they can't get enough of its rich, buttery goodness. With National Popcorn Day arriving this Friday, January 19th, movie theaters across the U.S. are offering spectacular deals on buttered, salted, kettled, and drizzled with caramel popcorn. 

Imagine. Each year, nearly 5 billion quarts of popcorn are consumed by moviegoers at U.S. theaters and other venues, according to the National Association of Concessionaires. At home, more than 14 billion quarts are consumed each year. That’s a lot of buttery goodness.
