Popcorn and Movies Are Perfect For Each Other (Sorry, Candies)

It's a match made in butter-covered heaven!





Popcorn isn't JUST a snack; they are the lifelong partners of theatres. Movies and popcorns have gone through a lot… Seriously! They even have a history together. Old times say that popcorn stands have always attracted audiences in large public group gatherings. With their hypnotizing and entrancing aroma, people are no match to the power of popcorn in food stands and theatres. With the help of popcorn, movie theatres have been able to up their sales, earning them profit during the World War II. Before that, theatres weren't thrilled about the idea for it seems messy and unworthy of being in 'movie palaces'. Obviously, they've surmounted that obstacle.

I am not exactly a big fan of popcorn but you wouldn't be able to ignore the popcorn stand standing right beside the door of the cinemas. It's like a temptation for moviegoers and a pull to our wallets. Without a doubt, it seems like tradition that popcorns are eaten in theatres because it's been with us for so long. I guess there are reasons why popcorns are better bought than fruits, trail mix, candies, sandwiches and nachos. However, it is nachos that I've always brought in because I like cheese.

First reason I thought of is because popcorns have many flavors: butter, cheese, cinnamon, wasabi, barbeque, chocolate, caramel you name it they probably have it or they could make one. Another, they still taste good after a long time unlike sandwiches and nachos that lose their taste when it goes cold. Plus, no other snack could beat popcorn when it comes to lasting, chocolates would have melted and nachos would have turned soggy and unappetizing. In addition, popcorns are less in mess.

Spectacular! Don't you think? Popcorns have stayed for so long as THE snack when it comes to theatres. They are the epitome, the very essence of cheesy romance where you and your lover's hands meet. They are the comfort you munch on when you watch horrors and dramas. So do you still think popcorn is just a snack?
