We used to get the large one where you got free refills but we can fatten ourselves up enough outside the movies and don't need to pay the overinflated prices they charge to do it.<br /><br />JeffJeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-75234429668718642332015-01-28T12:14:55.854-06:002015-01-28T12:14:55.854-06:00I'm with Jeff on the salty vs. sweet, but popc...I'm with Jeff on the salty vs. sweet, but popcorn at movies?

When I was growing up, "popcorn" meant the sweet stuff, similar to Cracker Jack or Fiddle Faddle (without the peanuts). I had also never seen corn on the cob before I arrived here either.
