Great advice!
Although I can't get my head around "premium" popcorn considering the outrageous price of the bog-standard stuff...

i like the idea
But one of the ethos' would be, that no one gets fleeced on popcorn, good stuff or not. Its fucking disgusting what the chains charge.

Quite agree on the popcorn, but...
The way I see it, crappy normal cinema popcorn is shoveled into buckets and rarely finished below 1/3 of the container. It costs nothing to make and is more or less pure profit for the cinema. It's thrown all over the place and causes massive cleaning problems.

Sell good, tasty popcorn that costs slightly more to make, in much smaller packs (that can be sealed and taken away), then you have less waste, similar profit and customers value it more.
(EDIT: To me, if the customer values the product, and are willing to pay for it then that's not fleecing them - it's good honest business where everyone wins!)

Now, wouldn't you rather have a small pack of Grape, Hot Cinnamon or Caramel & Cheese flavour rather than bog standard Sweet or Salty?
