March 3, 2014 by Chris Durso

The next time that you’re at the movies…Try to take a short break from shoveling popcorn into your pie-hole, to appreciate the history and science behind the snack.

For instance… Did you know that popcorn kernels can be traced back to the ancient Aztecs? And, that the uncooked popcorn kernel is a sort of pressure cooker — helping to cook its own innards until the starches explode and solidify.

The short video Popcorn’s Beautiful, Explosive Journey lays it all out, and might have you craving some popcorn shortly after. Even if you’re going to torture your entire office with the stench of microwave popcorn — you can at least share some cool popcorn trivia too. It’s no wonder you never get invited to lunch.

Chickens Dressed as Historical Figures

May 22, 2012 by Chris Durso

To accompany their story on the history of the chicken as food item, Smithsonian magazine dressed up a few birds as historical figures. Spanning the 10,000 years since the chicken has been used in a culinary capacity, we get the poultry version of anyone from Julius Caesar and Abe Lincoln, to Napoleon and Albert Einstein. There’s even General Tso — because Smithsonian likes its chicken spicy.

Napoleon
