Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

We are not going to lie to you, the past year or so has been difficult on all of us. Many of us have had to give up activities that we never thought we would have to be without.

For many of us, trips to the movies were a cherished activity that has now fallen totally by the wayside. At long last, movie theaters are finally starting to open up again.

Since these locations are now back in business, we can finally head back to the concession stand to indulge in some of our old favorites. Yes, the snacks may be overpriced but they support the movie theaters and some are just too irresistible to pass up, like the popcorn.

Yes, we love movie theater popcorn with our whole hearts, but guess what? Sometimes, it can be impossible to get the butter to kernel ratio exactly the way that we want it.

“I love buttered popcorn but I hate when the butter is only at the top. So I use a plastic straw all the way down in the popcorn bucket to get the butter to the very bottom and all the way through,” Colleen happily explains. “It takes a minute lining it up, but once you do you are good to go.”
