Original Note:
While likely satirical, the claim that Squanto invented popcorn are factually incorrect or misleading. The legends of Squanto & popcorn are likely untrue: https://www.history.com/news/a-history-of-popcorn Some earliest forms of popcorn were found in Peru, thousands of years before Squanto: https://www.thedailymeal.com/1134828/the-ancient-history-of-popcorn/ And Aztecs predating Squanto: https://www.popcorn.org/All-About-Popcorn/History-of-Popcorn#Early_History
