Not in *my* Midwest, where Ive lived for the past 49 years. Never even
heard of it before, and it sounds gross.

I love both popcorn and milk, but together?! No. I dont believe sugar
belongs on popcorn, either (aka kettle corn). Caramel popcorn, however, Im
powerless.

I don't like but then I don't like cereal. Perhaps it is more common for
people who have a lot of popcorn, such as farmers. My mom liked to put it in
a tall glass, cover it with milk and eat it with a spoon. My uncle who lived
in KS and IA said that popcorn was a common snack and whatever was leftover
was saved to eat as cereal the next morning.

I don't like cereal or any liquid dairy products. I do like good caramel
corn once in a while, but the only way I like popcorn is pan popped in oil
and salted. I will put butter on it once in a while but prefer it without.

Kettle corn is vile. Used to be a popcorn shop at the mall here that had
blocks of caramel corn on a stick then dipped in more caramel. They were to
die for but not something they always had. In fact, they rarely had them and
they always sold out right away.

Here is a discussion of popcorn as cereal.

I grew up in a farming family, and we ate popcorn as a snack weekly.
Perhaps it was a depression era €œthing€�.

Weekly? We had it every day. And I do mean every day unless we were too sick
to eat it.

We had popcorn once every 3 years. The only time we ever had corn, was
from a canned product called "Mexican mix":

A cereal (corn) and sugar! It's on the Baking Continuum!

One end: simplest bread: flour and water.

Other end: pure sugar: rock candy.

I have played in many products in the Baking Continuum, and most are pretty good!

Now I know how to have my way with you...
feed you my favorite... Cracker Jacks.
I still occasionally buy Cracker Jacks,
but their toys have greatly declined.
Now their toys are just paper, something
like one finds in fortune cookies.

The Chinese use rock candy in cooking. I've used it in some dishes. Boy, it's no fun! Perhaps I should have whacked it what a hammer first.

Probably best not to talk about whacking in here. You'll get some people
excited!

The only part of Cracker Jacks I liked was the peanuts. I make my own
caramel corn with Spanish peanuts in it. It does not last long. So yummy!

When I was a kid, we got boxes of candy with toys inside. The candy was
dreadful. I think it was some kind of taffy wrapped in waxed paper. My mom
liked the candy. The prize was usually a very tiny, clear glass marble.
Usually green but I did get a couple of blue ones. Once in a while I'd get a
ring. This may have been something local to Wichita. There was nothing like
that here.

We did get Japanese rice paper candy that came with a prize. I remember
people laughing at us because my dad thought the rice paper needed to be
peeled off. He was not convinced that it was edible so he told the guy
laughing at him to eat one and then he sat there stunned when the guy ate
the whole thing.

The prizes used to be good. But in this country they feared that kids would
try to eat the prize. Which is why now they are usually just silly paper
things.

I also remember choosing my cereal based on the prize. I went without
breakfast quite often because I couldn't bring myself to eat the Honeycomb.
I just wanted the prizes.

I like that idea. Give out Chinese rock sugar. That would probably be alarming to the parents - maybe they'd think it was crack.
