What's In That $6 Tub o' Movie Popcorn? - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

I gotta admit. I'm a candy-snack-popcorn slut when I go to the moving picture show. My wife says it is cheaper to take me out for a prime rib and lobster dinner BEFORE the movie than to have me eat $30 of candy, soda and popcorn while watching the movie. I'm not kidding about the $30 worth either. I'll go to the showing a half hour early just so I can get the perfect mix of candy blended. I'm just glad I only go to about 2 movies a year or I'd have to pay for 2 seats.

I'm the same way, except for it's probably more like once a year. I rarely go, I rarely eat that stuff so I enjoy it when I get the opportunity.

But the popcorn just isn't the same since the health whackos saved us from the evils of coconut oil. There's no telling what damage could be done from the average 2-5 buckets of coconut oil popped popcorn/year someone could potentially consume!

Wife and I go often. We both really like the movie popcorn. Always have the largest bags we can get. I hate butter, she loves it. I only use salt on it. Yep. An extra large bag of salted popcorn and a coke. I'll be dead soon but I don't care. Might as well enjoy life while you can

We're just livin' it up!

Now that my oldest two are old enough to watch the youngest two, we might actually be able to go and enjoy some movies that aren't a cartoon or computer generated.
