I loved reading some of the comments, ranging from the health police-type who were ready to lynch the theater owners for what was in the popcorn, to your basic WGAS. One gent pretty well summed it up by saying "it's only for two hours, you're not going to starve to death and no one's forcing you to buy it, you already know it's unhealthy, so what's the fuss?". I was rather surprised that only a couple picked up on the $6 sale to 20 cent cost to make angle - apparently a 3000 % profit margin is ok when it comes to movie popcorn.
