Do popcorn makers think we have a really active sex life

Microwaveable popcorn commonly eaten as a snack on a night in with a few drinks and a movie.

Seldom eaten alone.

Usually with your partner.

Why therefore is microwavable popcorn sold in 3's - am I missing a really hot night in that the rest of the population must have on a regular basis ?

Why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 but hot dog buns only come in packs of 8?

Agricola · 30-01-2010 10:52PM

Yep, afraid so. Popcorn eating is a communal activity so if theres 2 spare packets left unopened that means your life sucks.

The whole system is a farce!:mad:

This is really important to me.

Who would eat a whole pack of microwave popcorn to themselves?

Antbert · 30-01-2010 10:57PM

Come to think of it, I've only ever eaten popcorn as part of a sexy party for 3.

You could be onto something.

Ever heard of an American Hotdog? No hot-dogs required, just 8 men and 8 buns

They're HUGE though. They're much bigger than a small cinema popcorn.

Suppose there are folk who eat the large one all to themselves in the cinema too. Ugh, I'd be sick!

So do I..means I don't have to share!

Maybe that is 1 of the many reasons for obseity in this country. Who knows.
I sometimes buy a pack of a dozen condoms but I don't plan on having an orgy.

DIY popcorn's the best, quickly down any flies that are in the kitchen at the time!

bazmaiden · 30-01-2010 11:04PM

3 packets is alright, i find if you're in a group of like 3 ppl, say playing xbox whatever that once one packet is gone you put another in the microwave straight away.

So then that leaves you one to share with the OH when watching a movie.

3... its a magic number:D

But a small cinema popcorn is exactly that small

I'd say a microwaveable popcorn pack is the size of a medium popcorn in the cinema maybe a fraction bigger but hey maybe I overeat

I saw a 6 pack in dunnes yesterday if that's of any help to anyone!!!

I can't remember which brand it was - kelkin I think.

Jesus Wept · 31-01-2010 07:52PM

You are all incorrect.

The first pack is just a test/dummy pack that invariably gets burned due to mistiming caused by your attempt to ensure that you aren't left with half a bag of unpopped kernels mocking you.

True. Although in my case all 3 are test packs. But I can usually salvage enough popped but not burned popcorns from the 3 experiments to make the equivalent of 1 cooked just right packet.
