Early American settlers utilized popcorn after learning about it from native populations. However, rather than a nighttime snack, it was often consumed as part of breakfast, where it would be added with milk or cream. By the 18th and early 19th centuries, English speakers began referring to popcorn as "popped corn," where the term eventually shortened to popcorn.<ref>For more on the early history of popcorn consumption by European settlers and Americans, see: Smith, A.
