Ster Century: Bring Back Hot Dogs & Buttered Popcorn !

J-537

My self and the girlfriend have been going to the Liffey Valley cinema since it opened in 1999 (I think) and we'ed nearly go every week without fail.

We love that cinema BUT about 2/3 weeks before x-mas 2003 a new management took over. And ever since then they've stopped serving hot dogs and butter on the pop corn.

Does anybody else care ?

What do you think we should do about it, I miss my hot dogs ?

I care about the buttered popcorn. But most cinemas have stopped this now for a number of reasons. Its messy and if it spills on a tiled floor is very slippy and could cause many claims.

I'm not bothered about the hotdogs, UGC still do hotdogs.

i was told similar reasons in santry cinema for stopping putting butter on popcorn and i dont buy into it. why not stop serving all drinks if that was the reason.


UGC never seem to have hotdogs ready when ever i go there.

Because it's not really butter at all. It's a horrible form of greasy **** made to taste like butter.

It's hard enough to get off your fingers, so I'd say it's damn near impossible to clean up from a tiled floor. Soft drinks will dry out and turn sticky.

That butter crap was the work of the devil to begin with, it tastes manky, it smells disgusting - I used to nearly get sick at the smell.

Good riddance I say.

The hubby is mourning the loss of the hot dogs though.

It's because they are messy, high maintenance products. Everything needs to be cleaned, so they cut down. People still buy the same amount of food.

Next is the Cheese topping for nachos!

Yes but your hubby is a monster. I'm sure he ate about 10 of them. Before he went in.

I used to always go to Ster Century every week or two. The first time I went and discovered that there was no popcorn was a killer. I haven't gone back since. I live in Swords, so there are plenty of other cinemas I could go to, but nothing compares to Ster's 'Big Fella'.

Alas it is not to be anymore. The popcorn with butter is just to much to lose. I understand that it can be messy, but so can some dumb kid knocking over a supersize coke............mmmmmmmm supersize..

Right, i'm off to McDonalds.

Butter on popcorn smells like hangover fart.

Nasty.

Good riddance I say.

Gaaaaah!!!! That 'cheese' is even worse that the 'butter' they used to have on the popcorn. I've only ever tasted it once, and nearly vomited - it tasted like melted processed cheese slices. A travesty I tells you!. No taste buds should be abused in such an horrendous fashion.

Giblet

They have changed the cheese three times in Ster, once it was orange rubbish. Then slighly less horrible orange crap. Now it's the wonderful UCI style cheese we have come to love.

Taste the added flavours!

I want to go to the cinema with you... sounds like a fun time to be had by all!!

I like the taste of butter on popcorn and I always make it at home, but, when I had it at the cinema I was always sick from it. Possibly a mild form of food poisoning...
I say good riddance to fake cinema buttery crap. There's nothing like good wholesome home made stuff!!
