    I happen to think the quality of the movies in the last 15 years pose more of a health risk than the popcorn itself.

    It's not the popcorn we should be worried about. It's the copious amounts of other snack food items that have infiltrated the theater experience and our olfactory senses while watching Sandra Bullock movies…like nachos, hot dogs, pizza, cheesesteaks (So totally not kidding!), chicken fingers, and all kinds of jalapeno, pretzel bite, bites. Good God, it's a veritable smorgasbord, smorgasbord , in the damn place now. Smells like a Manhattan morning on trash day, and you practically need a Weight Watchers meeting and a gastric emptying study just to get through the door!

    Forget popcorn, just bring raisins and milk duds in a little baggie like my grammy used to…save some money and your arteries. Servicey!

    @Spirit Fingers: Seriously.

    Also though - the Times article is bs. It says one theatre "got points for" switching to canola oil. REAL coconut oil is a monounsaturated oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids and is actually healthier than canola oil. It's very good for your skin, nerves and brain.

    @Spirit Fingers: I have carried many a lumpy backpack into the movies. I bring my own oiless, saltless microwaved popcorn lightly flavored with Redmond ancient sea salt and melted ghee. Weeee. (points off for the nuking though).

    Signed, coastal elite moonbeam, fighting the power.

    What fact checking? Saying it was a spec, ad (which it wasn't - it was just fake) isn't checking facts, that's making an educated guess. Updates come after a story has been posted, so, yeah.

    @Hamilton Nolan: That's fact checking? I thought that was called, "reading the description"? Fact checking is calling Sprite or their whoever, no? Whatevs.

    @funyonjr: It's called "stating correctly that it was a spec ad rather than an official ad produced by Sprite." The only notable thing about it is that all anyone had to do was look at the description. I'll be the first one to admit it's not Pulitzer-level work.

    PPS My next spec ad will feature claymated lemons and limes making little Sprite babies. I hope you will assist in its going viral. Thank you Gawker!
