I buy food based on the Kcal/$ ratio. I'm buying calories to keep me alive dammit, I want the best value for the $. ;)

If your job justification is getting twisted over fat progressives grazing on buttered popcorn while having a mental injection of communism then by all means grow the F’da.

Last month I had (at least) quadruple butter on my trashcan sized bucket of popcorn. The theatre in Bozeman has the butter dispenser on the patron side of the counter ... a butter-lover’s dream come true. The nice lady behind the counter even filled the bucket halfway and let me soak that in butter and then she filled it up the rest of the way. There had to be a thousand calories involved in this. And, yes, butter is a food group in our house.

That would be fine, but are you sure it was butter? A lot of movie theaters have buttered flavored chemical soup.

Whomever is forcing people to purchase and consume movie theater popcorn should cease and desist.

If we don’t start pushing back on some of this nonsense, we’re not going to be given anything more than a bottle of water and a cup of brown rice to eat before long! For heaven’s sake, why doesn’t someone call them on their arrogance? Our country and its politics is rapidly becoming a very bad reality show.
