Tom Cruise and I have one thing in common: We both love eating popcorn at the movies. But I am a blogger, and Tom Cruise is not, so here we are. Rarely do I go more than two weeks in New York City without seeing a movie, whether it's a new release or a screening of something old. Usually, the experience feels incomplete without a whole lot of popcorn, often all for myself.
It's a Friday night and you're at the movie theater with an extra-large blue raspberry ICEE and a comically shaped bucket of popcorn, ready for two hours of action and adventure on the big screen. The grease and salt from the popcorn stain your fingers during the long movie (here's the special salt that makes movie theater popcorn so delicious), but you have enough leftover at the end of the night to take home, if you so choose.
Usually, when someone has a take this hot, we present their take in a point-counterpoint where some reason and honesty can be added to the discussion. But Barry must have known how unfounded this blog was, as he did not give me the opportunity to reply. Well, guess what Barry? I can write my own blog! And in my blog I submit that you do not know what the hell you are talking about!
Although movie theater concessions are always shockingly overpriced, that doesn't have to stop you from enjoying your favorite snacks at home. A sumptuous bowl of popcorn may be prepared as a quick treat, sustenance for your next movie night, or as part of your game-day party offerings. Choosing from a number of different seasonings to toss with your popcorn will amp up your food with even more flavor. But, to ensure your snack is fully coated with seasonings and stays nice and crisp, spritz the popcorn with either water, vinegar, or any other complementary liquid to provide something for the seasonings to stick to.
Store-bought cookies can effortlessly transform plain popcorn into a sweet treat, combining flavors such as crushed chocolate chip cookies with caramel for a unique snack.
Cretors' steam-powered popcorn machine revolutionized snack foods, offering even heat and enhanced flavor while enabling mobile vending, paving the way for popcorn's 20th-century popularity.
