The History of Popcorn and the Movies

I have not been to a modern movie house in many a year. I have a wide screen TV and I enjoy a lot of
the old movies that I never have seen. I enjoy the old westerns. I am a lady of 88 years. I can fall asleep and later it will com around again, if I want to watch a modern movie I can rent one cheaper than the price at the movie house. My treat if ice cream not pop corn.

How do they make that axle grease yellow?

My Famly and children have all way's enjoyed a bag of Hot fresh Popcorn the cost is low,and it's very tuff to find bad Popcorn..Unless you have a Broom.

I wonder how many people would buy the popcorn if they doubled the price????

I. Love. Popcorn.

Nothing beats a big bucket o' popcorn with a tall glass of ice cold Dr. Pepper at the movies. Pure bliss.

One thing missing from the popcorn story - HOW COME Americans put butter on popcorn, while Europeans put sugar on popcorn?

I love to eat popcorn, but i usually go to the movie with full stomach. So no need to eat popcorn. I'm just fine to watching movie rather than eat popcorn while viewing. Because i go to a movie to watch,

popcorn aint popcorn without kraft cheese powder!!!!the movies...well i quit that years ago for one simple fact.....well two....the price,and the morons who go to the movies.

Held hostage for commercials and priced gouged for popcorn and soda , great ain't it

pop ur own popcorn at home. Im a personal fan of Acts II Popcorn. Orville is always a good choice. i just dont see any sense in paying 6-7 dollars for popcorn that was popped 3 hours ago and sitting under a crappy heat lamp getting cold anyway. not to mention movie prices have gone through the roof in over the years. now a matinee cost more than a friday or saturday night movie 10 years ago.

My solution: Redbox, Netflix,

Only in America will they charge $ 7.00 for popcorn that costs $0.15.
They also charge $ 5.00 for a small bottle of water. How dumb are you?
Also, after the movie ends why don't you pick up your trash and put it into near by trash cans???
How hard is this for you, dumb "phat" Americans???

And here I always thought it was because it was a loud snack. The rustle of bags, the crunch as people eat. By selling such a loud snack they ensure no one can hear what's going on in the movie, thus making you want to return for a second viewing in order to actually hear the movie, which means more profit for the theater.

"go together like Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio"

what, are they a couple of gays?

Funny during the great depression it was used for how cheap it was. No you have to trade in your car to eat anything at the movie theater. Pathetic country is killing itself!

extra butter...please

TV came along and then WW II started?

because americans like to feel it between their teeth

popcorn, butter, soda, and inactivity can you say obesity, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease enjpy your movie

i used to always buy a popcorn bag when i went to see a movie but since the way the popcorn is made and the artificial 'butter' has changed i no longer get it. Popcorn is good and wholesome if made properly but now the movie theater popcorn is very bad for you. (talk about clogging your arteries) The theater owners need to find a more wholesome way to pop and season the popcorn. Get rid of that SO CALLED butter flavored oil and find something that is wholesome. If a person can air pop popcorn at home and season right so can it be made in a movie theater and probably be just as cheap for the owners to make and Get their profit too. Going to the movies used to be a great experience the theaters need to be updated to the present times

Nor do I enjoy sound tracks that have to rattle your seat. I'm not deaf, and don't like the assault on my hearing!!!
