I recall seeing a movie in my youth (“Diner” perhaps?) where a young man and woman went to the movies on a date. The young man had a container of popcorn on his lap and he managed to stick his erection through the bottom so that it suck up in the popcorn. The woman reaches for some popcorn and gets a handful of penis instead. Although she’s initially shocked, he’s able to successfully explain it as she got him so excited that he had to give it some space.
So has that ever happened in real life? I have seen other references to this trick which got me wondering if anyone has actually done it. I personally cannot image getting my penis anywhere near salted popcorn. Ohhhh… that’d hurt. Although the payoff could be worth it.
See, I heard it a loooong time ago (pre-Diner) as a slightly different joke:
Guy smuggles his pet duck into the movies, tucked down his pants. Gets into the theater, unzips, duck sticks his head out to watch movie. Woman next to him goes, “Omigod, that is disgusting!” Guy: “What’s the matter, lady, ain’t you never seen one of these before?” Woman: “Well, yes, but this one’s eating my popcorn!”
So my guess is, no, it never happened, it’s based on an old dirty joke.
I heard it another way…a farmer takes his pet rooster EVERYWHERE. He goes into town for the day and decides to see one of those moving pictures that everyone is talking about. The box office clerk won’t let him bring his rooster in, so he goes around the corner, unzips his overalls, and puts the rooster inside. He then proceeds to buy a ticket and sits down to watch the show. Two little old ladies come in and sit together, one is seated beside the farmer. After a while, the farmer thinks that the rooster might like a breath of fresh air, so he unzips and lets the rooster poke his head out. Soon after this, one little old lady whispers to the other “The man beside me has his fly unzipped and his cock is sticking out!” The other LOL says “Just ignore it, if you’ve seen one cock you’ve seen them all.” The first LOL says “I wouldn’t mind so much but this one’s eating my popcorn.”
I’ve also heard that a neighbor did the penis in the popcorn back in his youth. I’ll have to ask him the next time I see him (he lives about 400 miles from me now). He’s the type of person who WOULD do this in his youth, too.
Actually, the trick is making a hole in the cup which is pretty thick paper & also has a large amount of hot melted butter on the bottom, which is not something you want on delicate skin, so that you can put the penis in. Don’t ask how I know this but also it’s better to just skip the cup altogether.
Although I’d heard of “the popcorn stunt” prior to reading it: I recommend the book Choke by Chuck Palahniuk, as this and other such twisted shit are highlighted in this wonderful novel.
If you get to see him live on his “diary” promotion tour, he’ll read you a short story that’s infinitely more twisted. I swear to god, something like 25 people have passed out so far on his tour when he reads the story (only one woman in our audience did).
It’s definitely in one of the P&T books, though I can’t remember if it was Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends or How to Play With Your Food.
In any event, Penn writes about how you can get a bucket of popcorn at a horror movie, tear a hole in the side, slip your hand in, and let your mark eat the popcorn before grabbing his wrist. He then signs off with the “cup of popcorn in your lap” variant, with an amusing photo of a lady friend enjoying the stunt, and leaves the details to your imagination.
I’ve done it myself in my more immature days (that isn’t saying much, I know). Surprisingly, it never went over very well. Went on a double date with a friend once and we both did it. My date was disgusted for some reason and left but my friend’s date was amused enough to “keep going for popcorn”. She was amused because she apparently knew that while salt on delicate skin isn’t painful, it can get painful in a hurry when being rubbed in. When it hit him, she hit him… and left.
Never did it again after that night. That looked like it really hurt.
