Have you ever wondered why the fuck popcorn is associated with being a "movie food". Let's face the two are like bacon and eggs but honestly they couldn't be any worse for one another. Think about when you eat pop corn in a crowded theater it's just common courtesy to chew with your mouth closed. The thing is when you do that, the sound of you chewing is amplified by 100 inside your head and you can barely hear the movie. Then, if you do want to hear the movie your only choice is to chew with your mouth open and in doing so you impair everyone else in your proximity from hearing the movie. Now imagine everyone in the theater going through this personal moral dilemma of what to do regarding chewing their popcorn. Honestly, don't get me wrong, I love pop corn....it's a great stoner munchie, a great sporting event snack, and even a great movie food (if of course you laying down alone with your laptop and noise canceling headphones), but why the fuck did it get trapped inside the thick walls of the "Movie Culture".
I'm guessing the reason is because it was first paired with movie in the age of the silent movie, where nobody gives a fuck if they can't hear anything. Heck, even Hellen Keller could enjoy those things. The thing is, the Charlie Chaplin days are over and so should the days of eating pop corn at the movie theater.
