Etymology

The word 'popper' originated from the verb 'to pop', which means to make a sudden, sharp sound, or to burst. This aligns with the features of the popper itself, which often produces a sound when activated. The term became widely used in the context of party supplies and celebrations in the late 20th century as fun, colorful tools for creating festive atmospheres. The popularity of poppers has been bolstered by their association with joyous events, making them a staple at parties, especially in Western cultures. The specific type of popper known as a 'party popper' gained particular prominence in the 1980s and has since become synonymous with celebratory occasions, representing the thrill and excitement of social gatherings.
