Today, the Cannes Film Festival begins. For this occasion, we wanted to talk about the perfect snack to eat while watching a film.


What is popcorn ?


It’s not the most widely celebrated date on the calendar, but National Popcorn Day falls on January 19th each year.

When did popcorn make its debut in cinemas then ? Are popcorn sales really profitable for cinemas ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
