But This is Why I Go to the Movies
You can eat more than half a day’s calories and three days’ worth of saturated fat in one large bag of popcorn:
- A large-sized popcorn at Regal theaters has 20 cups of popcorn, 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat.
- A large popcorn at AMC has 16 cups, 1,030 calories and 57 grams of saturated fat.
- A large from Cinemark: 17 cups and 910 calories, 4 grams of saturated fat.
This is a real downer. I am just about to leave to see Avatar.
I plan to have several boxes of popcorn this weekend.
After your movie popcorn, you need to head down to your local Outback. Order the Bloomin’ Onion as a side dish, it clocks in at 2,200 calories and 134 grams of fat, yum
The last time I went to the movies I was struck by the notion that the cost of a large bag of popcorn was about equal to a day’s worth of food expenditure.
