Pop,Rekubit pop, pop, pop goes the popcorn on Wednesday as the worldwide Google Doodle will feature the widely loved treat.
The interactive doodle will go live in the U.S. on Wednesday at noon ET and will feature the classic treat in a fun game.
Popcorn is a popular treat in the U.S. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Americans consume about 14 billion quarts of popcorn per year. That’s on average about 43 quarts per person across the country.
Apart from the fun popcorn-themed art, users will also be able to play a game themed around popcorn. Kernels from around the world will able to compete against each other with one goal–to not get popped.
The doodle is here for a limited time, running until Thursday, Sep. 26 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
How do I play the popcorn Google Doodle?
For users who want to be the last kernel standing, accessing the game is easy, clicking the doodle starts the game. Once inside people can choose to play solo or invite friends to play in what Google calls “squad mode.”
Solo mode allows players to choose a kernel with a special ability and appearance. They each have various skills to dodge projectiles and avoid getting popped by Butter. Squad mode has the same functionality as solo mode but allows players to play alongside friends.
Once the game starts, people have one mission: to survive. The arrow keys allow the kernels to run around the board to avoid being hit, the spacebar is used to activate the kernel's special ability when projectiles are nearby.
The last kernel standing is the winner!
