How did popcorn become the definitive theater snack?
Was it the work of the insidious maize lobby?

In Japan you can order grilled chicken at the theater.

It was a good depressive food. Movies used to make people feel things and so they munched on it.

If I remember rightly it was because it was cheap so people could afford it during the depression. Now people willingly pay the obscene cost for this food which frankly isn't very good
>>68611820
it's cheap as shit, literally costs less than 50 cents to make that bucket
Thank the Great Depression for its status

Basically this. It was just a really cheap food to make and buy.
Do American cinemas seriously stop you from bringing in outside food?
>Bring in outside water and sushi
>They don't say anything
>Used to bring McDonald's in as well

Plus they needed sugar for the soldiers or something, so people stopped eating candy (which was the previous theater staple)

Get a girl friend and have her carry your shitty food that you can't stop eating for the meager hour and a half that it takes to sit through a movie.

I think far more money goes to the studio from each ticket in America. Cinemas aren't selling you movies mate. They're selling you snacks
Want some popcorn lil nigga?

Hey, that's the cinema worker who fathered my wife's son!
>>68611820
something for your parakeet to snack on, when they got phased out for falcons the snack stayed and humans began eating them

My theater charges $9.99 + tip for a large bag of popcorn. They have gotten too ridiculous.

Grilled chicken is disgusting.
Give me grilled fish or at least fried chicken.

I remember watching "Thunderball" at this theatre in Seattle (Central Theater, I think?) and I got a Margarita pizza and a beer delivered to my seat for about ten dollars. Shit was the bomb. Man, I miss that...
>>68611820
cheap and they can dump a lot of salt on it so you get thirsty and buy soda as well
The better question is how did they come up with the idea of giving people food to mindlessly eat while watching a film? Whoever decided to capitalise on that deserves all the money he got
It used to be fresh and at a decent price, now it's 10 bucks for some garbage that's been sitting around all day. Everyone with a brain sneaks burgers into the cinema.
>>68612028
Just go to the movies in the winter so you can sneak your movietacos in your pockets
>>68611820
It's not. Crablegs are.

made me lol with that one...
Big Maize has been running this scam since at least the 50s, they go way back, FDA, DoE.. there are some big names in there and things you don't even want to know.
Have a guess who really killed JFK. Commies? Wrong. It was Big Maize.
>>68612028
If you are so poor you can't afford cinema food, you ahouldnt be gping to the movies in the first place
