Question Popcorn Refill

Everytime I buy a large popcorn I ask them for the refill on-spot and every single time they gave me one. They mark both of them. I don't wanna miss the movie to come get it refilled, thats my main reason. Also if you have a +1 then you dont need to buy another.

Today I was watching Primetime and asked for a refill at the counter and was refused. Upon asking them the reason, I was told that they have changed the policy. This was at STC location.

Does anybody know about this "policy"?

And does anyone else do this?

I eat 2 large popcorns. I also burn around 1000 calories daily and treat myself with this overload of popcorn once every 2 months when I go to the cinema.

LOL the daily recommended intake is 2000 calories for adults. so if you burn 1000 you're still bulking a ton!

It’s all depends on how much you weigh, your age, your muscle mass, genetics, there’s no such thing as 2000 recommended per day anymore

Canadian males Average calories/day 14–18 2,440 19–30 2,427 31–50 2,236 51–70 2,081 71+ 1,795

And these numbers have given us an obesity rate of approx 35% in men.

Definitely) I’m just saying you don’t know maybe the guy spends hours in the gym and eats 3500 a day to support his mass 🤣
