    Default Popcorn

    Do you enjoy snacking on this popalicious food? What do you season it with? Or is there a type that you preferably buy? My favorite would be cracker jacks but since I can't always have it, I just buy the butter flavored ones you microwave instead along with popcorn seasoning to taste because I don't think I have the time to make up a seasoning.

    We used to have a three flavored popcorn can that we'd get around here. One was regular, the second was I think cheesy (they looked orange) and third was brown and a bit harder to bite into, but tasted delicious. I always preferred the latter two over the regular. Now I just have the regular since that's all we get.

    I only ever have popcorn when I'm watching a film in the cinema. Salted, generally, although I like sweet as well.

    Yeah, I equate popcorn with film watching so I only ever eat popcorn when I'm watching a movie. It's to the point that if I go to the cinema, we are getting popcorn because it just wouldn't feel right. The cinema is about atmosphere, that feeling of an event, and snacking popcorn with a large drink. It wouldn't feel right if I didn't have a popcorn to hand. Me and Mr. Carny always end up eating too much during trailers and having to stop ourselves.

    I tend to go salted. I can go sweet, but popcorn just tastes better salted. I mean, It's very unhealthy, but I don't go to the cinema expecting a salad.

    Only when watching a film, usually only in the cinema, always the biggest size, always salted. Love the stuff.

    Never shared either, get your own damn popcorn.

    I like it but I hate the way the bits get stuck in my teeth. So it's kind of a love-hate relationship.

    Caramel Corn.

    Cheese & Caramel Corn mixed is very popular in Chicago.

    The eating of popcorn is not worth the inevitable kernal piece that gets lodged in between two of your teeth.

    I used to eat it in the cinema, now I prefer to go to the movies right after dinner/lunch so that I can skip it.

    I actually sort of enjoy dislodging popcorn stuck between my teeth, most of the time. It's like a game: what can I find on my person to get something out from between my teeth (I don't carry floss)? Weird, I know, but.... Shrug.

    I am the annoying person at the cinema who shoves fistfuls of popcorn into my mouth and all over my face during the quiet parts of the film.

    See, I can't enjoy it because one time as a kid a popcorn piece got so dislodged that it got infected and I had to go to the dentist to have them dig it out.

    NEVER AGAIN.

    It never got stuck between my teeth, so obviously you have a bad luck.
