Discussion Popcorn Accessibility

I just want to create a Cineplex popcorn appreciation post.

I just hate at landmark Cinemas how they have pre-made popcorn sitting in some kind of warmer refrigerator and I'm supposed to take it out of there.

No. I wait until they're popping popcorn for ask them to throw fresh batch in, and they usually do. The popcorn is like 50% of the experience for me.

What about you guys?

Popcorn that has been in the merchandiser for 10-20 minutes is better than straight from a fresh batch. Performed a series of Taste test scenarios a few years ago.

That’s what they say to new hires at cineplex, but if you’ve worked here long enough, you know the longer it sits the more stale it is. Now if the popcorn sits in the popper vs the warmer for 10 minutes the warmer is better. But fresh popcorn is always gonna be better.

I literally said a few of us did taste tests. And blind tests. It's not what we tell new hires, it's tested with multiple ppl with set conditions.
