I feel as if the best reason to eat popcorn is because it's not terribly crunchy. If i eat chips while watching a show the crunching of the popcorn makes me unable to hear the movie.
I was looking for this as it's what I've always assumed. The salt and fat I would think also makes for good fill and makes you want more fluids ($$$) and lets you retain more in your body (practical).
I do wish theaters did a better job of becoming a great experience again, as I'm a fan of the concept, the two nearest movie theaters here are considered world class (Norway) so I much prefer it to home theater, but it's not enough for the average Joe to bother (barring the top blockbusters.)
That thought crossed my mind previously but I didn't know if it had occurred to anyone else.
I mean it's not horribly priced here in the US. For a couple it's around 9$ each ticket, but if you want 3D or anything special it's 12-13$. A lot of that seems overpriced to me, and the one complaint I have is: you purchase a 5$ drink and they don't allow fountain drink refills.
