The Necessity of Popcorn

Popcorn is the most ingenious invention introduced to mankind, from mankind. It is inevitable to view a movie without munching on some. 

It began with the Mexicans. They sacrificed it to their God as a form of delicious respect. Now, it has been adapted into our cinemas as a form of excessive money gain, and in our case, excessive money loss. Now, for almost the price of a movie ticket alone, you can indulge in a godly meal, accompanied by a nice watered down cola. And for a quarter of the price of these you can head down to the closest grocery store and buy a packet of preserved popcorn, assuming that the cinema ones are too preserved, and a cola. After this you can haul it in either secretly or openly and you can indulge in, instead of popcorn alone, the glares of onlookers as you crack open a noisy cheap packet of your rather ungodly pre-purchased of popcorn. And if you listen carefully you can hear their minds whispering about how horridly cheap you are. 

Despite the lengths one goes through for the successful acquisition of popped corn, and the amounts of money you spend, I deem it impossible to view a movie without constantly placing popcorn fragments in your mouth. I believe that people in the cinemas without popcorn spend most of their time imagining how much better their lives would be with popcorn while holding an image of those behind or in front of them eating popcorn instead of focussing on the movie itself. 

The next time you are watching a movie in the cinemas and you either choose not to buy popcorn because you ran out of time, ran out of money or did not feel as though you wanted to eat it, think of how unfortunate you feel about your decision not to purchase it. Popcorn is the best accompaniment to a movie viewing, and there you are, with no accompaniment beside a possible mere human which you cannot eat because cannibalism is illegal and does not provide you with the good crunch sensation that popcorn brings. 

Popcorn must be eaten for your movie experience to be better. Having said that, please eat and drink responsibly because popcorn can also be distracting to yourself or others.
