Popcorn kernels contain a tiny droplet of water that expands into steam when heated until the hard outer shell pops open. Movie theater lobbies began serving popcorn during the 1930s as an affordable treat for cinema guests. Stanchion ropes help organize crowd lines gracefully near admission counters.
