I know why popcorn is associated with movie watching so much but I think its a nice idea whoever started it. Do you agree?
I like eating popcorn on movies. It seems that it adds a bit of excitement when entering the theater with a bucket of popcorn in one hand and a cold drink in the other.
Happy viewing!!!

yep I love it. It doesn't seem like a movie without popcorn! I even pop some at home when watching movies lol. I do love the theater's popcorn though. I sometimes dump a box of milk duds in my popcorn it is yummy.

yes i do but not all the time. i just us sit and watch the movie on regular manner and when i know that some good movie is to come soon and i know the time as well then i arrange for some stuff i can eat and enjoy and i mostly get coke ans chips and no sharing with friends or family. have one for your own self. it can also depend on the mood but more over it increases the fun and i and everyone likes fun!!

I like either popcorn, or nachos with lots of cheese. When I go to movie theaters, it's one of the only times in the world that I will order any kind of soda, as well. When I watch movies at home, i will usually eat whatever is available to eat, but if I know in advance that I am going to get a movie, at the video store for example, I'll pick up some popcorn or nachos while I am out. The more butter on the pop corn, the better!!

Yeah WATARIKENJI, I agree that it’s not important to know the reason why people like to eat popcorn while watching movies as long as we feel happy and enjoy doing so.
Other than popcorn my husband and my son and I do like eating other snack like peanut, cashew nut, almond etc. We like eating popcorn the most for it is sweet and crispy with a peculiar fragrance of corn. It is not so filling as well so that we can take a lot of them at one time.
I have the same opinion that eating and watching movie together would have more fun and excitement especially for us who love junk food very much.
posting and have a nice day.

I eat popcorn only when I'm watching movies in the theaters but when I'm at home, I prefer potato chips and iced tea. Although sometimes, I do eat chips in the movie house as an alternate for popcorn. And speaking of popcorn and movies, I'm going to watch Mirrors later with a friend and I can see myself eating sour cream popcorn with extra butter and a huge coke.

Hello WATARIKENJI.
I do occasionally get popcorn when we go to the movie theater. But I don't do it every time. Yes, it just seems to make the movie more fun and festive. I even like popping corn at home when we watch movies. They just go together, don't they? Enjoy your popcorn, pop, and movies.

Yes, ofcourse, most of the people used to go to the Theatre to eat something.. like this..
Eating the popcorn and the ice cream in between the movie is very great experience, especially in the theatre.
In fact, in most of the theatres, you can find the items which has been expired like the Puffs, cool drinks and some of the other items, but you can get only the popcorn which has been prepared instently or prepared just a minutes/hours ago..
So, You can very well taste the Popcorn in most of the theaters without any fear of the higenic problem.
and also it is always better to bring the water from home, or better to buy the water bottle to drink the water in the public places like the theatres etc..
Please take care and have a good day.

No I don't really like eating popcorn during a movie.. I rather share a pizza or eat some chips! Much easier to eat, and it doesn't make such a big noise as like with popcorn in my opinion! Another thing with popcorn is, is that it's so FAT and it's baked in oil..so it almost couldn't be any fatter! I think with that, that it isn't even that healthy..but I don't know that for sure..
Anyway, good thing is, is that I don't even like popcorn! But I love eating chips though! Especially tortilla chips! Goes well with a movie and some dip sauce with it! :D
