it goes pop

So apparently a lot of americans eat a lot of popcorn. I maybe have it twice a year, and at that its kettlecorn.

Yes, yes, it’s the custom; everyone at the theatre is eating popcorn. In fact, each American consumes more than 200 cups of popcorn a year, and it’s no surprise considering a movie theatre’s large bucket is 20 cups in itself! But snub the butter soak and you’ll save yourself from two-and-a-half day’s worth of saturated fat.

  1. How about some fair and balanced on that popcorn post?

    Try air popped popcorn.
