I have noticed that popcorns are always present at every cinema houses. Why do you think they are the best junks when watching movie rather than chips?

Hmmm... if I were to give a really insane answer, I'd say that it's because chips are too heavy to pick up.. Haha! Popcorn is so light that you don't even realize that you've finished the whole darn bucket. Lol! But seriously, I think Popcorn has always been a "tradion".. Just like during birthdays, they say that you have to have spaghetti or pasta like pancit to give the celebrant a longer life... I really don't know.. Plus popcorn is not as noisy as chips when we talk about the munching factor... heheh..

and to answer your first question.. no, I don't buy popcorn all the time... It just depends if I feel like eating them or not...

I do not watch movies that often though but I can remember just 2 instances when I bought popcorn from the theater. I usually do not eat while watching a movie but I did eat on some a few years back. Sometimes, it really depends on the movie as well. If it is a movie that I've waited for just to be able to watch on the big screen, there's a high chance that I'll buy food and pop corn would mostly likely be one of 'em. Oh, and it isn't as noisy as some other foods such as chips.

Popcorns are actually good to eat while watching a movie because it is not like chips that are too oily. Whenever we watch a movie we don't buy popcorns anymore because when we do this we have to buy drinks and if we finish both before the movie ends usually you would have to take a bathroom break and doing so might mean that you would miss good parts of the movie.

I'd rather not have popcorn when watching a movie. I'd like to concentrate on the movie and not have those oily cheesy hands after eating up your popcorn.

I really have no clue why popcorn is one of the best junk foods to watch during a movie.. I do try to not buy popcorn because when I eat popcorn, I always get thirsty. And when I drink, my bladder goes crazy! I go like 4 times during a movie and I hate always having to get up to go to the washroom and miss the movie!

I never do actually. The popcorn at the theater is loaded with fat and salt and is also usually pretty expensive. I usually just have water during the movie.

i think popcorns are better than chips because less noise is produced while eating them compared to chips.. But whenever i watch a movie, i don't buy food to be eaten while watching a film because it distracts me from understanding what the people in the movie are saying but i don't get distracted if i'm surrounded with people eating chips or popcorns during the film..
