When you go to the movie theater, what treat do you buy? (Perhaps I should say "did you buy?" Some of us don't go to the theater.

i knew this would cause a stir, i'm sure you would have selected theatres set up, to watch your favourite movie with private booths with a small table, the usherette periodically serves you what you have ordered from a menu before being seated, you can have bubbly if so desired, they are called Gold Seats which obviously cost more than a normal ticket, it is a great way of watching a movie.:)

I'm saving up my dollars
for a Gold Seat Ticket!
Join me for a bubbly? : )
Lets us make a grand stir, sir.
ps
Bulletman: I saw a story about those
elegant theaters right after you mentioned
it to me.

Movie "popcorn butter" WAS the best part, for me. :)

I think that's coconut oil ... or something. People can clog their arteries during the movie. : )

I have made a meal of popcorn on more than one occasion. Buy the biggest one, drench with fake buttery substance, and refill before leaving. I used to take the refill to my Mom.
No more, though. I've read (and believe) the cost of movie popcorn has a 1,000% markup.

That's a lot. They have a lot of overhead too. What is that fake buttery stuff? Is that coconut oil?

commented 10 years ago

Bob/PKB

I truly don't know, but my personal thought is coconut oil would be too expensive (but I've never bought coconut oil, and have no idea how expensive it is. I'll try to find out and post another comment here when I do. :D

itsmee: coconut oil, high in trans fat is what this article claims, and also explains what the "butter" often is. It states there is often MSG and the corn is one of the most genetically modified foods around. The prepopped corn has to be stored, so now we're dealing with chemical preservatives.
Sheesh!

My daughter is big into juicing. She's seen the documentary Forks Over Knives and, Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead ... Some others. She's afraid of food. That's not good. She's very healthy at present.
Juicing isn't the answer because of the high amount of pesticide you'd take in. I dunno. I'm not going to watch those documentaries. She has warned me ... I warn you.

Heart doctor recommended The Mediterranean Diet for me. At Barnes and Noble, I bought a cookbook (no pictures ?) and "The Mediterranean Diet for Dummies". I am convinced it is a healthy choice, especially for one with health concerns like mine.
Recently, I saw an article that claimed "drinking" a meal was not as satisfying as "eating" a meal. I have enjoyed a morning smoothie for years. Will probably continue to do so and carry a healthy snack with me for mid morning when school starts next week.

All this talking about diet is making me feel fat. I think I just refuse to put my mind to it. Maybe I'll get weighed tomorrow.

If the movie goers support by buying these "GOLDEN" popcorn, sure the'll take your money. If the sales go down, the tenant goes and the landlord has no choice but to be reasonable in rent. Movie experience should not CLEAN your wallet.
