Never ask theater staff for "just a couple squirts of butter" the moment they approach the pump autopilot takes over, you WILL get thoroughly buttered popcorn. I tried so many times before giving up and just taking it without.

never had buttered popcorn, I don't even know if that's an option anywhere near here, but it's always good to know that the options are either none or all

Air poppers are cheap and idiot proof, and popcorn is a cheap snack. Go for it

Picked up an Oroville redenbacher air popper from Goodwill for $5, basically brand new, manual and everything (not that there's much to know). We've been going crazy with it. Highly recommend.

I grew up with one, but have never owned my own. Always used microwave popcorn. But with the chemical concerns in that, this feels healthier 🤷‍♂️
