I’d honor a god of popcorn 🙏🏻 🍿 #ReadingListChallenge
“Spanish colonizers first encountered popcorn when they invaded the Aztec Empire, where popcorn, or momochitl, was not only eaten but used in decoration and for ceremonial purposes. In particular, it seems to have been associated with the god of rain, Tlaloc, with popcorn garlands and necklaces worn during festivities to honor him.”
