A large tub of buttered popcorn from a movie theatre with one or two extra pumps of hot butter has approximately the same poly unsaturated fat content of four Big Macs. Whilst I don’t usually go to the movie theatre by myself, I do usually end up eating most of the tub. I simply cannot rationalize eating all that fat in one sitting.
I end up buying the Grand Canyon tub of popped corn, for the simple economics of it:[li]$3.50 for a SMALL[/li][li]$4.50 for a MEDIUM[/li][li]$5.50 for a LARGE[/li]Sure, I end up picking corn shell out of my gums for the next three days, but what are ya gonna do?
Actually, if I’m thinking ahead, I go to Kroger or something and buy a big’ol bag of Twizzlers and smuggle that in, instead.
(And why isn’t this in IMHO?)
…my son wants to know why I’m crying…
Well if you offer your date a “popcorn suprise” it is about what everyone thought. Get the jumbo tub-O-corn and she might not be hungry anymore by the time she gets to the surprise.
I always buy the biggest size available. Popcorn is one of those foods I will eat until I am nauseated.
