Huh. TIL.
To me popcorn goes in the same category as potato chips, salty. Always salty. But apparently it lands with candy for a part of the world? I had no idea.
Do you sweet popcorn people get some other salty snack? Or are all your movie snacks sugary?
To me the ultimate combo is salty popcorn (maybe even buttery) and a sweet drink.
In Germany, all cinemas I visited had a salty option, the most common being nachos with some dip. But I don’t remember ever seeing salty popcorn offered here, even outside cinemas it is rare.
Rare indeed. The first time I came across salty popcorn as a kid, I felt the kind of betrayal that leads to a livelong grudge.
I still think salty popcorn is disappointing and weird.
If this seems strange don’t even ask what they’re doing in Texas…
What are they doing in Texas? Just handfuls of bullets served in a cowboy hat?
Is the fork included or do you need to bring your own?
I always try to get salty popcorn whenever possible. Never did I imagine it was standard in so many countries!
I was thinking of moving to Germany but I just can’t now. Sweet popcorn? In a theater? Half the reason I even go to theaters is so I can eat enough buttery topping with some popcorn mixed in to feel sick. The absolute madness of putting sugar on popcorn, I’d sooner eat a bowl of unpopped kernels
But for real all you salty/savory popcorn lovers out there: If you haven’t tried it yet put some powdered brewers yeast on your popcorn. That stuff is magical. Goes weirdly well on pizza too
Most cinemas also offer salty popcorn. It’s nice that they accommodate weirdos like you
