    • 1872, Mór Jókai, Az arany ember, (Timar’s Two Worlds), part 1, chapter 7:
      Ez a pattogatott kukorica igen népszerű eledel itt Magyarországon, s úgy hiszem, nálunk senkinek sem kell azt hosszasan magyarázni, hogy milyen; a New York-i világipartárlaton azonban nehány év előtt aranyérmet adtak annak a jenkinek, aki Amerikában a pattogtatott kukoricakészítést fölfedezte. Ezek az amerikaiak mindent is kitalálnak! Áldott jó eledel. Az ember igen jóízűt ehetik belőle, anélkül, hogy valaha jóllaknék vele; mert mire eleget evett belőle, már akkorra megint megéhezett.
      This popcorn is a very popular food here in Hungary, and I don’t think anyone here needs to be told at length what it is like; but at the New York World’s Fair a few years ago, a gold medal was awarded to the Yankee who discovered popcorn making in America. These Americans will invent anything! Blessed good food. A man can eat a very good deal of it without ever getting full; for by the time he has eaten enough of it, he is hungry again.
