Popcorn has never been a staple food anywhere. You can hardly even digest anything of substance from it.
If anything American staple food would be burgers, hot dogs, oatmeal, corn cereal, fried chicken or SPAM.

Hungry skelly anon here (6'1, 130lb).
Why don't you just go to sleep instead of eating more? Half the time I miss meals because I'm too tired to grab it from the microwave and just go to sleep instead and have to throw out the old microwave abandoned instant noodles or easy mac in the morning.

Anyway though I think your main problem here is soda's been so wildly well liked and successful that it's easy to take it for granted. You don't notice its extraordinary appeal because that same appeal turned it into one of the most familiar and mundane seeming products you encounter on an everyday basis. You have to take a step back and dissociate yourself a bit from that familiarity to realize how extraordinary it really is. There isn't any food or drink you could ever personally invent that would reach even 1% of the desirability soda has. It's basically the end result to human history's repeated distilling of the concept of enjoyable taste. What people really want to drink is what molded soda into existence.

>Soda sells because poorfags and nogs don’t care about their health.
What a shit opinion. Not being good for your health doesn't cause a commodity to be in demand. At best that's just a potentially repulsive attribute that the actual attractiveness of a commodity could overpower. By analogy you don't like a film because "I don't care about the plot." You might like the film *in spite of* it not having much of a plot because you enjoy its striking mise-en-scène and haunting auditory aesthetic.
