This September 25, Google has decided to pay tribute to popcorn with a Doodle and a free game to highlight its cultural and gastronomic legacy around the world.
A doodle is a doodle or illustration to represent something, and on this occasion it serves to change the typical company logo with this image of popcorn. This appetizer will always be associated with a movie theater, and just by entering one, this mythical smell arrives, but the truth is that this food has much more history behind it.
The Google Doodle not only recognizes the current popularity of popcorn, but also pays tribute to its rich history. Its origins were born as a staple food of indigenous American cultures, but not only that, it is also said that it was used to create ceremonial decorations with small white explosions of popped corn.
It was in the 19th century when in the United States it began to be eaten as breakfast, in the same way as cereals, with milk. And it was not until 1890 that the first popcorn machine as we know it was invented, which really made the popularity of this food take off.
The reason why Google has chosen September 25 to celebrate this date is because in 2020, Thailand marked a curious milestone by building the largest popcorn machine in the world, achieving a historical record, and the technology company wanted to pay tribute .
How to play Google Doodle
As usual, you just have to open a Google page to find yourself it’s Doodle and by clicking on it the tab to play will open. It is a kind of competition in which you have to try to last longer without exploiting the other players, where you are all corn seeds.
Using the arrow buttons and the space key on your keyboard, you must try to avoid being hit by the “projectiles” that the butter, salt and other “enemies” from the different levels throw at you. If they touch you, you will lose one life, and you only have two, and if you lose again, you will explode and turn into a dove.
