1. Why does it smell so good? The popcorn has chemicals in it to make its aroma   fill the theater.

2. “Extreme Digital” is actually lower quality than IMAX digital. We use it   because it’s easier to maintain.

3. For the first month or two of screening, money from ticket sales goes to   movie studios. Theaters rely on concession stands to make money. That’s why   concessions are overpriced. Popcorn costs almost nothing to make.

4. I know all the methods you use to sneak in. I just don’t always care enough   to kick you out for it.

5. The only foods I trust are the popcorn, drinks, and boxed candy. I wouldn’t   eat the pretzels, hot dogs, or nachos.

6. Chances are, if you complain to the manager and he sides with you, he’s   just putting on a show to calm you down. The manager might pretend to yell at   me for a minute, but he’ll pat me on the back the moment you’re out of sight.

7. Combination deals don’t save you money at some theaters. You’d pay the same   price if you purchased the items separately.

8. Think you’re saving calories by ordering a small popcorn? That “small” popcorn   could have been a medium last month.

9. Stop getting angry that your food isn't ready. Microwaves can't cook frozen   pizzas in 30 seconds!

10. No, I can’t give you extra cups. Everything is inventoried at the end of   the night.
