At the Movies
Posted by DDOCS in Common Courtesy, tags: Common Courtesy, Entertainment, Food
What do you eat while at the movies? Junior Mints? Raisinettes? Nachos? Well, if it’s popcorn, please CLOSE your mouth while chewing. The sound of people loudly munching on popped kernels of corn smothered in fake butter is one of the most annoying disruptions to the movie-going experience. The rustling of the bag is no picnic, either. But, we’ll put up with that in exchange for quiet chewing.
Why do we encourage everyone to chew with their mouths closed EXCEPT at a movie theatre. Well, we’re starting a revolution, people. Eat quietly. That’s all we ask.
Oh, and if you break a tooth on an unpopped kernel, you won’t be able to sue the theater, genius.

I’ve been told on several occasions at home that I eat popcorn like a barbarian. I’d like to think I’m a little more polite at the theatre, but I wouldn’t bet on it!
