Perhaps because popcorn doesn't look like corn?

I haven't been to a German theater since December 8, 1974. No big reason
except that the movies I would most have wanted to see were mainly dubbed
US or Italian films. Then, later, I just stopped going to theaters. I
haven't been in a US theater since 1993, when my son and I went to see
"Wayne's World."

My grandmother used to make sugared popcorn. It's not hard, you just have
to be careful to not burn the sugar. She also made caramel popcorn, but
only during the holiday season.
