The popcorn is literally the only reason to go. Just sneak in a can of soda if you're extremely cheap.

Butter popcorn is easily the biggest waste of time to make at home. Its the only flavor of popcorn that not only doesn't survive to the next day, but it taste like crap only an hour or so after its prepared. It requires the prep of the clarified butter on top of making popcorn. Plus if you actually want to get the true amazing taste you also need to buy a specialty ingredient, flavacol, which once again is only useful in the prep of buttered popcorn.

Haha, you're a fucking lunatic dude. I can make "theater style popcorn" in less than 2 minutes in my microwave. If I'm feeling particularly ritzy maybe I'll pop some from the kernel on my stovetop. People go to the MOVIE theater to watch MOVIES, not get reamed for shitty food they could make at home.

Thats the whole fucking point. Its not theatre style, which is delicious but is a waste of time to make at home. If you're making popcorn at home, doing something like kettle corn will be delicious and last up to a week. It will also require less prep and no specialty ingredients

>It requires the prep of the clarified butter on top of making popcorn.
I like making popcorn at home, but I find doing that wasn't really necessary. The small amount of oil you need just to pop it doesn't really coat it, so using peanut or canola oil is fine.

To top it after popping I just simmer some butter and let it brown a bit until the water is evaporated so it won't make the popcorn soggy. The milk solids taste pretty good, so you don't need any fake flavorings.

It's been quite a while since I've gone to the theaters, but when I used to go I'd just bring my own popcorn, snacks, and drinks. It's all surprisingly easy to conceal in a jacket and very easy if a girl tags along with a tote bag.

Yeah probably. You just have to check if they allow large bags and backpacks into the theater unchecked or at all. If it's a woman with a large purse, not just a shitty tote, places that do have such policies will probably leave it alone.

I think movie theaters pop it in a lot of oil so it's already coated, or they've already tossed it around while drizzling in more before you add the extra. I just toss it in a big bowl while slowly drizzling on the butter, always works fine.

Yeah. Even with my favorite movies sometimes I still get a little bored after an hour or so and look forward to it finishing.

[Anonymous No.12205199]

I worked at a theater for a few years, here's how we made the popcorn

>heat up oil in the popper
>scoop dry kernels
>add a fuckhuge scoop of flavacol
>pour into popper
>dump when done light comes on

After awhile, you start getting numb to the taste. So the employees would press the oil button again halfway through the cooking time, and double the flavacol. I still dream about that shit. But I'm too autistic to ask theater employees to make a batch just for me.
