However, she was very nice, and Gold Medal is third-generation family-owned, so there's that. Gims, laughing a bit, politely declined to give any details about Flavacol's proprietary process and artificial flavor. Flavacol is as bad for you as regular salt but worse, as it doesn't even contain iodine, regular salt's redeeming nutritional feature it is, however, vegan and gluten-free (as salt tends to be), as well as kosher and halal certified. The company assures that nearly all the major movie chains use it, furthermore claiming that more popcorn is popped with Flavacol than any other seasoning salt worldwide - that is, the entire known popcorn-popping universe. Let's also truncate the parts that explain the genesis of the idea (pathological jealousy of friends' new in-home theater-grade popcorn maker, unwillingness to purchase one), the science of popcorn (hey, there's water in there!), and all the permutations/hardships of the development of the recipe (so many different kinds of oil! So many batches!! I've been so thirsty lately!!!). I've probably missed movie popcorn an inordinate amount over the last 17 years, I mean, 10 months.īut enough about me - it is a special irritant of articles such as this, promising The Best-Ever Pandemic-Times Life Hack, that a lengthy first-person preamble usually must be endured.
Yes, I brought a plastic bag to the theater expressly for this purpose. I'd order the large size (only a dollar more - they're practically paying you to get it!), eat until my mouth hurt, then put the rest in a plastic bag to take home.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, I went to the movies a lot, often alone, and I'd see pretty much anything, because the golden-salty greatness that is movie theater popcorn makes seeing almost anything worthwhile.
