yup it's crazy, soda is almost as bad!

But it's how the movie theaters stay in business. They don't get much money from the ticket sales.

That stock went up when my thread was created. I bet it will go back down now that it's deleted.

I absolutely love popcorn! It is one of my favorite snacks. But I usually don't get it at theatre's just for the fact that it is way over priced, but then again, what isn't over priced?

I know! I spent AT LEAST 6 grand on mandatory books alone my 4 years in college, that's not counting the supplementary books that professors say you "should" get. You think to yourself, "well I don't want to spend another $100 on the supplementary book if I don't really 'need' it", then the next quiz is based entirely on stuff in that book, and you're fucked into having to buy that book as well.

Then at the end of the semester when you go redeem them for cash they either lowball the hell out of you, or they tell you that they are not using the book anymore the next semester so they can't accept it.

If you're going to buy stock do it now as the all knowing Obama Admin has just passed a law requiring nutritional facts to be posted in movie theaters or everywhere that popcorn is sold.
