The actual reason is that competition in the cinema sector meant that butter was usually free, and it was ruining seats and carpets in cinemas. As a result, most cinemas decided to stop offering something, on which they weren't making any money.

The emphasis of my post was a little misleading: the primary reason was the mess it was making in cinemas, apparently!

bring yr own butter

I have it on good authority that it actualy wasn't butter, but margarine that was used as butter went sour too quickly. The reason it was dropped, I'm told, was that the cinemas didn't make profit off it and they had to pay dry cleaning bills for the people who were too greedy and spilt it over themselves. Health was also a reason, apparently.

they stopped selling the hotdogs in dundalk cinema too......reason i was told from behind the counter was parents were complaining there kids were getting too fat :rolleyes:

Ha ha! Is that the same law that stops me from getting my pet monkey to get me a beer from the fridge!

I can just see some young country guard at a checkpoint outside the popcorn stand in blanch... "it this your popcorn?"

Me: "yes guard, it is."

Young country guard: "Is that butter i see dripping down those light salty kernals?"

Me: "yes guard, im sorry (Sobbing) an older boy made me do it guard"
