Not going to pretend that I won't eat that poo poo like my life depends on it. But man it looks gross being poured. I just want it on my popcorn. I really don't want to be confronted with the reality that it's just a bunch of oil.
If it makes you feel better popcorn by itself is one of the least calorie dense snacks you can pick and is almost entirely carbohydrates. So adding oil to it just rounds it out. Also fats are necessary for health so having some isn't really bad for you as long as you aren't sticking your face under the spout and drinking it straight.

Popcorn is great for when you want to eat something lovely and then try to get it out of your teeth the rest of the day.

Just.. don't eat popcorn, it's poo poo anyway. Always has been. Get some nachos or peanuts, anything with actual taste

Lol i went to the movies with my sister too see Guardians 3 and i got some nachos. $11.50 for the nachos + medium drink. The chips were literally the same ones you get at the gas station with maybe a tablespoon of cheese.

I understand that the theater makes no money from ticket sales and relies on concessions to pay the lone 15-year-old that runs everything on the weekdays but you can literally get the exact same thing at the gas station for $1.75 with unlimited cheese and chili. Add the medium fountain drink for $1.25.

Life hack: when you go to the movies think of your ticket as the cover charge, get a $6 theater box of candy as a tip to support the kids that works there, and stuff a whole Philly cheese steak and a can of Arizona into your butt hole to enjoy during the feature

No, I'd probably recommend enjoying that at home. Those teenagers have to clean the theater between showings, after all.

The people who work there are going to get paid the same amount whether you buy snacks or not. That "tip" is going to the owners.

Yeah any theater that can't keep the lights on without concessions folded during the pandemic. Concessions are where they make the profit, not where they meet operating costs.

Yeah i understand, i didn't mean that it was literally a tip. Just that after the markup, the snack you're buying is maybe enough to allow the theater to continue to employ a single bored teenager for two hours of babysitting the three old people and one stoner who show up for a weekday matinee

I can’t think of many other things that consumers buy that matches disparity between operator cost and consumer cost than movie theatre concessions: popcorn and cola syrup are both super, super cheap but are sold for an incredible markup

For the biggest Marvel and Star Wars movies, Disney will ask over 100% of the ticket price from the theatre. If the theatre sells a ticket for $10, they have to pay Disney $14. Concessions are where theatres make their money, the theatres and seats and movies are there just to attract people to buy snacks.

Yeah studio licenses have gotten to where the theater closest to me has $5 admission and $20 popcorn.

They get more money renting out the whole theater to groups and letting them use the projector for whatever they want for a few hours (usually Smash Ultimate) than they do from showing movies.

After one of the mass shootings our local theater did bag checks and when the underpaid kid asked to look in my partners bag we hesitated and she just said "I don't care if you have food I just need to see you don't have a gun" which was fair

Had that happen to me too. The teenager at the bag check just looked at me with dead eyes and said "I don't get paid enough to care if you sneak food in".

I still do it, I've got that AMC subscription thing so I see tons of movies and just sneak in some beer and snacks. Never been stopped, hell half the time they don't even ask for my ID to make sure I'm the person who has the subscription.

I mean, they have to be fairly sterile, for what they are.

I also just googled "are tampons sterile" and google responded with "tampons should never be used more than once" and I decided I was done with that for today.
