[b]But I will get a code red a small buttered popcorn and a hotdog and make a lunch of it. The Lord keep me safe from the Red Devil.
I am so old that I remember movie theatre popcorn that was both buttered and salted by the kid behind the counter. These days, one must tolerate dry popcorn. The theaters that I have used in the past 10 years, kept the salt tied to a counter top way far away from the queue / register. I could have all the 'butter' I wanted, but no more layering of butter, salt, and then more popcorn atop it. :angry: :angry: :angry: Thus, only the topmost popcorn has any salt, becuase all the rest is bone dry, and the salt just goes to the bottom.[/b]



Yeah... I get a small bag, and try to get the guy behind the counter to fill it half way, and butter it, and then I salt it, and then I have them put the rest in. Sometimes that won't work if the movie is crowded or packed and the counter is busy. Arrrrgggggh :wacko: Dry popcorn yuck!
