Their popcorn is horrifying
Was it Braniac that did the experiment where they sold people stale popcorn, and because they were so preoccupied with the film they didn't realise how horrifying it was?

Stale isn't the word
It has been cooked months in advance, bagged up and stored in a warehouse, then conveniently placed in the warmer while noone is looking to make it appear like it is fresh and formed by magic.

I've always wondered why they didn't keep it like the stuff you microwave at home
It would take up so much less storage space.

I've always wondered why people eat popcorn to watch films,
and never at any other time.

I do
Popcorn is my snack of choice at home. And it's quite a low-fat snack assuming you make up plain popcorn and add your own topping i.e. cinnamon.

Anyone remember that cheesy popcorn made by Cheetos? Me and my mum loved it, then it went away.

I quite like popcorn
I rarely make it now though as you get so much and it makes me greedy.

That's still full of preservatives and rubbish
Why don't they just buy dried corn and cook it fresh

Well, yes
But given that the cinema food is also hot dogs and nachos with plastic cheese I'm not sure that's such a big deal.
