Does anyone want to put their hand inside a sandworm or Moquete's mouth? To eat what's in there? Popcorn buckets evolve.
It is not a new practice, far from it, but it is still astonishing that they are increasingly testing viewers' tolerance for disgust: The buckets of popcorn that they offer on the very expensive menus at the cinemas are getting crazier and crazier..
If we stick to the ones from Dune Part 2, it's amazing: they are shaped like a sandworm and you have to get the delicious appetizer out of their jaws… it's no wonder that some like Dave Bautista refuse to put their hand in there and That the director himself, Denis Villeneuve, has mixed feelings… Everything to promote the film but… how disgusting!
The next film that will follow a similar strategy is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The popcorn bucket is a Slimer… Or Slimer, if we get fancy. All they needed was to put green caramel popcorn inside or add guacamole (I'm giving you ideas… you're welcome!).
Who wouldn't want to have them at home? Although maybe not to put food inside. What is hellish is the price they charge you for this type of objects, which in the end are collector's items and do not even reach all commercial stores. Are they going ahead with this type of bet or will they run out after five minutes?
It is understood that they serve to make cash, of course, and that in addition The riskier the design, the more capacity it has to go viral on social networks.. Public amount
Before these two films and coinciding with the premiere of Wonka, we saw his top hat converted into a container for popcorn and some “exclusive” and very expensive chocolate bars that we don't know if they contained a golden ticket or not but that were certainly priced at gold.
Are you one of those who get stung or are you one of those who get stung by these types of practices? Salted or caramel popcorn? What's the smell of clouds? Remember that the important thing is the movie and that if you leave more money in the cafeteria than at the box office, one of two things: either you were going to the cinema as a dog or you don't mind making noise in the theater, so you have chosen regular.
