Popcorn Is Bad


I'm convinced my husband only wants to go to the movies for the popcorn. Actually, it's near fact, he'd probably admit it. One time, (I probably lost a bet, regardless) I went to the theater just to get popcorn for Lee. Uh...the worst part was it was a theater where you had to get your ticket before you could get treats, so, it was super awkward for me when I had to explain to the ticket lady that I just wanted popcorn...My point is that a large popcorn has 960 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat, which is more than a personal pan pizza. A medium popcorn and a soda is equivalent to 3 quarter pounders and 12 pats of butter. WTF. It ain't that good! I knew it was bad...but not THIS BAD! I'll stick to the painful to eat DOTS, Skittles, gummies, and Milk Duds. All better for you I'm sure.

oh god, i don't even want to know what's in my regular movie routine: hot dog, nachos with fake cheese, icee, and on occasion, sour patch kids. yeah, it's kind of a problem.

So then it's probably also unhealthy that I stuff my quarter pounders full of movie popcorn and butter pats. Good thing I wash that all down with an Extenze drink or you might not find me so sexay.
