This movie theater gives you free "butter" and bowls/boats to hold it!
@Alice Can you bring a water bottle?
@Alice You'd better grab a straw while you're there. Wouldn't want to make a mess while slurping down your butter boat!
@Alice i can’t believe it’s not actually butter
@Kierkegaanks @Alice I can’t believe it’s not palm oil, whey solids, high fructose corn syrup, salt, potassium sorbate 60 and mono & diglycerides.
@Alice do you think that flavoring is combustible?
@Alice it's hard to see the scale the way the photo is taken, so I'm assuming the underlying surface is the floor and the "butter" dispenser is about the height of a drinking fountain
@portlandy it's on a table that is auspiciously made out of a material that should be reserved for flooring, not furniture.
@Alice I would like a small popcorn in a jumbo tub and a soup spoon
@Alice To be clear, it is "Butter flavoring." We really don't know what it is. Possibly some multipurpose industrial lubricant. 🤷
@Alice butter “flavoring” 🤨

@Alice Pro-tip from a big guy:

If you stick a straw through the popcorn until it's near the bottom, then pour the butter stream through the straw hole and slowly lift it back up through the popcorn, you'll get an even distribution of butter through the popcorn bag/bucket.

Consult your cardiologist before listening to my advice :)

@nathandyer @Alice turns out, I wasn't the only one doing this.
@nathandyer @Alice and also, I have high blood pressure. Cheers.
@Alice @LibertyForward1 I wonder if that would work in a buttered rum. 🤔
@Alice mb I thought those were little bath tubs for hot dogs, you know an Easter tradition

@Alice
Back in the day we made our popcorn the old fashioned way, shaking a JiffyPop pan over the stove top burner. On an adjacent burner was a small pot for melting the butter*, for pouring over the popped corn as the last step. I suspect this “butter flavoring” comes out cold, which is just not right.

* AKA oleomargarine, which was touted at the time as better for you than butter, but of course that was a lie.

@Alice (not me getting a bowl of butter and dipping individual popcorns in it like a weirdo)
@Alice why does it have two dispensing buttons?

@flipper @Alice

the bottom one is for the rats.

@Alice
Geiger counters not allowed

@Alice

you can never have enough butter-flavored oil to put on your bigger than your head bucket of popcorn. goes perfectly with that 1 liter cup of coke. $30 well spent.

@Alice Needs a mug I think.

@Alice I think the boats go under ones head as one applies the artificial, butter-flavored topping directly to the popcorn in ones mouth.

In my experience, anyway.

@Alice I would bet a 100 bucks that whatever comes out of it, that ain’t butter 😁
@Alice That's so considerate, but now we're having an argument about whether to bring crab or lobster!

@Alice

"What is my purpose?"

"You dispense the "butter""

"Oh my god."

"Yeah, welcome to the club, pal."

@Alice

"If not butter, why butter-shaped?"

@Alice

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my butter bowl
