The Beauty of the Popcorn Cart
Some may say the popcorn cart is outdated now - a piece of history that no one pays attention to anymore. Those who claim so would be wrong, however, and probably have no idea of how much a popcorn cart can do - and what it represents. The antique popcorn cart, the antique popcorn machine and its old fashioned popcorn maker are all what make this tradition so much fun.
One of the oldest popcorn carts was more than just a piece of machinery. For many families it became the means of making a living, and it's very natural that some entrepreneurs made their carts both practical and wonderful to behold. Many of the modern ones have an intricate web of wires connected to lights, advertising, and break and locking mechanisms aside from the internal popcorn producing machinery, but original carts were simple devices, often laboriously designed, to make the customer feel the popcorn atmosphere.
What makes many of those carts so original is the history behind it. Each popcorn vendor wanted to stand out and sell his wares, and they adjusted their techniques according to what the public demanded, depending on the location. Some owners and operators decided on their own colors (though the typical striped pattern remained as an obvious popcorn signature). Some vendors claimed their customers enjoyed a bit more oil or butter, some others needed more salt, and the logical result is the soft but real hardware adjustments to serve the customers better.
There are replicas out there available, and for those who don't want to spend over a $1,000 on an original (yes, they cost even more than that), it's a very good alternative. The old style can look great in any modern home of popcorn lovers; it's often quite a contrast to behold. I've never been to a home that serves popcorn from the cart, but I'm considering making sure I become one of them. Wouldn't it be nice to have one of those old-fashioned things in the garden when there's a party? I'm sure the kids would love it. (And adults, too).
I, personally, like to imagine what it must have felt like in the olden days - and then I start to really appreciate the wonderful tradition we have. Popcorn became so popular (and a means to livelihood in so many families) that they ensured not only their popcorn was top quality, but also that their presentation of the wonderful snack was captured in eloquent curved steel patterns, colorfully pained wooden side panels, and striking stripe-designs we still know today. Popcorn's still alive, and the popcorn carts are too. They might even be making a long overdue come-back.
