It makes complete sense coming from the theater’s point of view. In the case of popcorn, we are conditioned to want a snack to mindlessly consume while we are watching a movie. We are creatures of habit, and thus tend to repeat ourselves, especially when things are enjoyable or beneficial in one way or another. I’m convinced that we have been conditioned to want popcorn when we watch movies. So what’s the big deal and why do people always seem to want popcorn when they are watching a show or movie? Is it because it is a comfort thing? Are they just hungry? And funny enough, everyone wants some as soon as the first person starts making it as the TV goes on and the lights get dimmed.Īs everyone sits down to watch something, not everyone will come prepared, but every single time someone makes popcorn, there is at least one if not more people that are compelled to make their own batch or want to eat some of their friend’s popcorn. I didn’t learn this until I lived in a house with 40 other people but it is rare to find someone that makes popcorn the way you do.
One would think that everyone pretty much makes their popcorn the same way-with a bag that you microwave. There is something so blissful about sitting down to watch your favorite show or movie and smelling the yummy popcorn popping in the microwave.
I have found that coming out of lockdown people have gotten even pickier about their foods they were forced to make at home, specifically popcorn. During the start of the pandemic, with theaters having been closed for so long people got used to making their own popcorn at home, allowing them the opportunity to customize their popcorn even more with different seasonings and maybe even some candy to top it off. One way was through food, and specifically, I think, popcorn.Īs many are aware, movie theaters offer popcorn as a delicacy with self-serve stations where movie-goers are free to add as much butter and salt that they desire. With life being so difficult lately as people slowly make their way back to a new “normal,” they have found ways to comfort themselves while stuck at home. Popcorn is an essential ingredient for any movie session.
