On my way to class today I realized "OMG i forgot to bring food", so I went downstairs and picked up a cup of popcorn from The Den. This seemed to be the easiest and most logical thing to do. Upon ariving to class started to think about how much I actually enjoy popcorn and the best part was it was free. I managed to kill 2 birds with one stone.Not many people realize the importance of popcorn and what a tasty treat it is. I think it's safe to say that I am not the only person who purchases a large bag of popcorn before entering a movie theatre. Popcorn has become a huge part of the movie industry and for simple reasons, it is delicious and something people can snack on while enjoying a show.
I can't remember one time that I havent got a bag of popcorn at the movie theatres. The first Good experience i had with popcorn was when I was around 4 years old and i tried it for the first time. I can't remember my exact reaction to it but i remember that i enjoyed it very much. Following this good experience several weeks later was a bad experience. My brother who was very mischevious decided it would be funny to give me a bag of rocks and tell me it was popcorn. I was very young at the time so i tried it without hesitation. Lets just skip the details on what happened next but the hospital visit wasn't very pleasent. Regardless of the fact that i almost died i did not give up on popcorn. It's funny now because everytime i buy a bag of popcorn i naturally take a second look in the bag. I just can't escape the fact that popcorn's supreme taste is addicting and i'll keep eating it everytime i go and see a movie.
I think most people would rather snack on popcorn instead of a candy bar or chips. The only problem popcorn has is it can be messy and is not very easy to carry around. When I decide to grab a snack before class or before i leave my house i don't automaticaly think about grabbing a bag of popcorn. Unlike a candy bar or bad of chips you cannot just carry it around casually because it takes up to much room and can be a hassle. Also popcorn has to be heated up to be created and not all of us carry microwaves around with us. Although some may argue that popcorn is the best snack around, I think it is best to be saved for something to munch on at movie theatres or as a household snack. In other words popcorn is very delicicous but cannot be used as a daily snack.
You don't carry a microwave in your pocket everyday? That's too bad. Thankfully, most days you can get your popcorn fix right here on campus! A lovely link to something fabulous about popcorn would be nice.
