National Popcorn Day is a yearly affair that’s observed on 19th January throughout the world. Despite it not being a national holiday (if only it is lah), that doesn’t mean you cannot celebrate it in your own way. Some people may prefer to celebrate the classic way by eating popcorn, but others may want to do it a little differently. If you belong to the latter group, these are some fun ways you can commemorate National Popcorn Day.
In this day and age, we post everything and anything on social media. For those who are avid Instagram or TikTok users or simply ai swee, why not post a photo or video of your favourite popcorn snack this 19th January? You can post it in your feed or as a story, which will go away after 24 hours. However, before you do so, remember to use the hashtags – #NationalPopcornDay and #PopcornDay – to share your photo or video with other popcorn enthusiasts.
You might be wondering: what exactly is popcorn olympics? Well, it’s nothing too serious lah. It just means popcorn games that you can play alongside your family and friends. Some of the games we recommend are popcorn air hockey, popcorn basketball, and popcorn race.
For popcorn basketball, all you have to do is throw each popcorn into a small designated hoop to score a point. This hoop can be a rubber band or something crafted with paper, don’t need to be so zhun. On the other hand, popcorn air hockey and popcorn race are relatively similar. By using paper to blow the popcorn, these games can be easily played on the coffee or dining table.
If you are those crafty types, this activity is right up your alley. As long as you have some sewing needles and strings lying around, you can make popcorn garlands to take pictures of and boast to your friends. Eh, garlands aren’t just for Christmas or Halloween, okay? You can also search online for arts and crafts ideas involving popcorn kernels that are perfect for both adults and young children.
