I once (many years ago I hasten to add) bought the GIANT bucket of PopCorn. Perhaps I should add, this was in California, so you know whats coming. Being English, I took my first handfull (as many as I could cram into my open hand-as you do...) and Arrrrrrgh!! SALT!
Ah, well. After several visits I actually grew to enjoy them.

Good job there weren't showing the Ten Commandments. You wouldn't have lasted after seeing Moses part the Red Sea!

The joy I felt in the 'Gents' after the film was I'm sure heard around the cinema.

There was an amusing exchange on the sibject of cinemas selling noisy snacks on the Mark Kermode film review section of Simon Mayo's Five Live show the other week. MK quoted an (apparently) old line of Barry Norman's that tif they were going to ruin the sound with crisps and popcorn they they might as well go the whole hog and sell the audience tall hats!

Come to that they didn't care about the films much either - He-Man Masters of the Universe : Cannon's Christmas Turkey

The Cannon in Doncaster had to move patrons out of certain seating areas when rainfall was heavy.
