# I read in the Guardian
that popcorn has a 10,000% markup.

Surely not?

# Well
popcorn is created by combining corn with anti-corn. Given the extortionate price of antimatter, it's not surprising!

Wait, no, that was just a lie the cinema told me when I quizzed them on it. I'd imagine it's true though. I can easily imagine buying a handful of
corn for 3 pence (According to the wikipedia, it's $1.80 for 1 bushel, or 35 litres). Then you could sell the resulting popped stuff for £3
