. Consuming a medium size popcorn and soda is the equivalent of eating three Quarter Pounders from McDonald's, along with 12 pats of butter.

Did they say what it was if you didn't get the lard, I mean butter flavor?

Dainerra · 11-19-2009, 09:24 PM

no.. but what's the point of getting it without the butter?

See I'm so old that I remember popcorn with real butter on it so I've never been able to eat it with the lard, I mean butter flavor

I hate popcorn so problem solved! LOL

Did anyone actually think it was low calorie?

I don't like buttered popcorn in general, (or butter itself really) and especially not that stuff they grease the movie theater popcorn with so I never get butter on it. It's still not healthy though!

I can't remember when I last had movie popcorn, WAY to fattening!!! I had no idea it was that fattening tho. Kind of makes me a bit ill.

Me too! I had such a taste aversion to popcorn for a while I couldn't even go to the theater, because the smell of popcorn made me sick!
I'm much better now, lol!

I've never had buttered popcorn but I love salted popcorn ... which is probably just as bad and I'm going to have a heart attack any day now

My problem with movie popcorn is that I never know where to wipe grease-soaked hand when I'm done.

But the other decent option is Jujubes, and those just pull out the fillings in your teeth, so that ain't good.

Might as well just stay home.
