Soda was marginally more powerful, however, as infusing water with carbon dioxide was first discovered in 1767. And armed with a Pizza Cutter (which itself dates back to 1892, when it was mainly used for cutting wallpaper), vengeance was truly his (its?).

Otherwise, the New Gods were weak-ass punks. Nachos were first invented in 1943 and less said about Soy Latte, the better.

But Popcorn.... Popcorn is a different story altogether. It has been eaten for far, far longer than we know - far longer than written history. The oldest evidence of popcorn dates back to 6,700 years ago

Popcorn is the Elder God. And the gods quake at the mere mention of his (its? their?) name. They merely hope and pray that he sleeps on...
Psh. None of their worlds have lasted 6000 years. I'd say we were looking at the year 50, or close to it, by Popcorn's reckoning.

Also, what's a New York?
