Never get popcorn on Mondays and Tuesdays. Or always ask to get the popcorn that is actually being popped in front of you.
And that shit aint butter. : shiver :

Umsies, I used to work in a movie theatre and you'd be lucky if it were last night's batch. We'd put the popcorn into large yellow bags in the back
room with the mice and roaches and sometimes it would be 2 or 3 days old when it was poured out "fresh" into the display counter. And then, since
that always went at the bottom of the case, on slow days you'd be piling that shit back into another bag. So sometimes it could be WEEKS before the bottom
popcorn ever got digested.

Yeah, and we have to put it into yellow "see through" bags so when people catch us dumping the shit into the containers, they can think "oh
looky, buttery popcorn, i want to bring it's essence to my mouf right now". And the display cases were always lit up with yellow and orange lights.
Meanwhile, the popcorn would be anemic and pale.

So how do you eat the popcorn? If you put the popcorn fork in your mouth, it contaminates the shared bowl. If you drop the popcorn into your hand, then you get
the butter/powder on your hands.

If God intended man to eat popcorn he would have fixed that problem.

I just hook up a vacuum tube to my mouth and I inhale it like an elephant trunk.

I put the corn in my mouth and then set my mouth on fire. No germs at all.

I am going to forget I ever read this. Popcorn is my favorite part of seeing a movie.

Don't worry, guys. Just get the popcorn that is freshly popping. Don't settle for what's in the display case. If it ain't popping, get a
hotdog. Those are hard to mess up (except when I dropped them on the floor, but I would always give them a few pats to wipe off most hair).

Umm:
On your way to the movie theatre, simply stop off at Food Emporium and purchase a jumbo bag of white cheddar cheese popcorn for a dollah. Bring to movie and shove down your maw. its not rocket science. |

I prefer the "hold the bowl up to my mouth, insert my tongue, and eat whichever kernels end up sticking to my tongue" method. No butter hands! And
fucking get your own bowl.

Get a HOT DOG? Gross. I'd rather eat week old popcorn.

Do people want me to describe what the nacho cheese really is and how we used to store that shit? Man, the day always sucked when the first thing you had to do
was scrape off the upper crust of old curdled cheese from the plastic vat in the fridge. But underneath it was all still gooey and "fresh", so in it
went into the nifty "nacho cheese warmer".
Yummers! And, hey, that's the spirit, Minerva. P.S. At the end of the night, the unused cheese went right back into the vat. |

Who can afford to eat at the theater, anyway? I have no need to spend $27 for bag of stale popcorn, a box of JuJuBes and a weak Pepsi. It's bad enough
that they make us pay $12 per person to be trapped in the fucking theater while the 14 year old running the projector tries to figure out the complexities of
the START/STOP button or the UP/DOWN volume knob. Then there are the seemingly ENDLESS commercials they stick in now...and the stupid as hell
"trivia" crap. I'M SICK OF IT, I TELL YA!!

Bill is right. I ran the projectors at a theater for a few years as a night job. Fake butter and corn kernels in a 5 gallon pail on the floor. Nice when the
place is all hot and humid. Lean over to scoop some out and the sweat drips in. Mmmmm. Put the old stuff in first, and let the new stuff pop over it. Mix well
and repeat. More liquid fake butter on top, and it all looks new.
Same for the nacho cheese, and the hotdogs are not always fresh either. Cook them light, and they can last a few days. Me=never buy that crap in a theater again. Just think what the dweeb at the counter is doing to the liquid stuff when alone! Enjoy. |
