I don't get popcorn. The texture is like I imagine how eating polystyrene would feel and the taste is bland and uninteresting.

It kind of makes sense. I won't eat cotton candy for a similar reason. Seems like it would be like eating a cotton ball. Sorry, I don't know what it's called in other countries. Candy floss, maybe??

why is cinema popcorn so expensive?

reply

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 5 years ago

Because movie theaters couldn't survive without those prices. I don't exactly know the economics, but a movie's initial release sees the theater making little or no money from ticket sales--the ticket sales goes to the movie studio. The only money the theater makes is the concessions. After a certain period (I'm not sure how long) the theater keeps some of the ticket sales.

But why do cinema theaters earn so little from ticket sales?

I don't know enough about the industry to give a complete answer.

Maybe someone who does can chime in?

You know...your replies are really getting old! Always the sexual innuendo! Not funny anymore! What do you call a person who types in all caps, always trying to be the comedian with the sexual overtones? 🤔 Hmm? Likes to break rules, exhibitionist, attention seeking (great one!)

Sadly, I have never cooked or made popcorn at home.

It's one of my favorite snacks when I get the munchies.

We have this:

I purchased it for my husband’s birthday. It has a very large footprint.

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Wow. I love my popcorn, but that's a bit over the top for me.

reply

[–] kspkap (13629) 5 years ago

Yeah, it turned out to be a bit over the top for us...especially the cleaning. I think it’s been used once in the last year. When we got it I went all out for accessories, had popcorn just about every night. I weighed a lot less than I do now...no popcorn...but sweet desserts have put the pounds on! But, I’m also more sedentary than I use to be. 😡

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

More sedentary...I know the feeling.
