If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

Ah, my go to has always been sweet popcorns, so I guess the kernels stick and don't fall to the bottom. I should try violently shaking my popcorn next time to see if that helps them unstick and sink

Show that popcorn who's boss!

I haven't had caramel corn in a theater before, but love it. I usually have a napkin handy for any hard bits and just wipe my mouth white putting it on the napkin with my tongue all polite like and the stickiness keeps it stuck to the napkin to toss when I'm done.

[–] DashboTreeFrog@discuss.online 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a good one! Easy enough to just keep a napkin or two in your pocket before a movie, much more realistic than a baggie like a few people commented. Legit probably to most practical suggestion yet

I can't imagine going to a theatre without at least a couple tissues in my pocket.

Or anywhere really.
