#4> Popcorn, it seems, was the original clandestine movie snack.
Haha. I have a big coat with inner bags where I can fit two 1.5 lt sodas, I always sneak snacks when going with my friends, since, at least in my country, every snack is ridiculously overpriced (around 5 to 10 times the original price).

You see, there is this thing called historical reasons for things to happen. That post was actually very entertaining and informative.

#6I've never eaten popcorn at the movies, and have long thought popcorn smelled disgusting. I wasn't pleased when that American tradition was imported into Ireland when I was a kid.

Popcorn by itself actually smells good - it's just fried corn. It's the ridiculous amount of butter Americans put into it in movie theaters that makes it smell terrible.

It's usually even butter flavored oil. I agree that butter flavor tastes something like butter, I don't think it is the same. Pretzels with butter flavor are similarly awful.

#9To me cinemas / movie theaters are about the film. I never eat or drink while I'm there... maybe I missed the memo.

#10> Popcorn wasn’t widely eaten in homes, mostly due to how difficult it was to make: consumers needed a popper, oil, butter, salt...
That's wrong, it's insanely easy to make. You don't need a "popper", just a pot with a lid. Any pot. And what kitchen doesn't have oil, butter and salt around?
But since TV wasn't around yet, what were you going to eat it to? ;)
