Yeah, it was all popcorn. It was just a generic term for popcorn. It was all called popcorn. But I think in the mid-19th century or later 19th century, companies started to come along and basically branded their own version. And there was even a mascot in the 1870s called Colonel Pop. I love that one. I couldn't find a picture of him. Could you?

Same here. And there's actually a popcorn company from not too far after Colonel Pop was developed, 1914, called the American Popcorn Company. And they're the people who make Jolly Time popcorn. And if you've never made Jolly Time popcorn, you should just do it. Just go buy one of those little foil things. Mm-hmm. That has all the stuff you need to pop the corn in it.

And as it pops, like the foil expands. It's just such a great little thing. Word of advice, though, I learned this the hard way. Don't do it on a ceramic cooktop. It's really, really bad for the ceramic cooktop. Oh, wait, I'm talking about Jiffy Pop. Jolly time comes in the bags.

You know, I don't very much. We have like a stir crazy. I don't remember who makes it, but it's like the, the, the big like black heavy bottom with like a thing that spins around slowly on it so that it stirs your, your popcorn apparently in a crazy way. And then it pop, pop, pops. But it's mechanical? A transparent, well, there's a hamster that runs the whole thing.

Yeah, but weirdly, we got it in the last few years. We tried air popping for a while, and that's just like punishment.
