    Who woke up & decided that this is what the sheeple need to do at these locations ?.
    Most people just fall in & obey.

    This is very sad.

    I smoke my crack pipe at both locations as I'm not a member of this 'sheeple' set. Far less expensive and fattening than cinema popcorn as well.

    Because duty free, obviously. Used to be duty free even within the EU.

    Shannon was the first airport to have duty free shopping, exposing the loophole allowing it.

    Little attention is needed for eating popcorn, I never got the fascination with eating food in cinemas at all. Some insist on it while they might not think of eating at home watching a dvd.

    Who makes you buy the popcorn? Don't that no I've ever bought popcorn at a cinema.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Most cinemas did away with the butter years ago.

    The pricks.

    I can't think of a cinema in Dublin that still offers buttered popcorn. Are there any in the rest of the country?

    The medium ones are two for €4 in the Texaco at the Spawell at the moment, you could always glue them together?

    What do you mean by giant?
