WHAT’S
A FILM WITHOUT POPCORN
Total
[6]
Popcorn has been associated with cinemas and films for as long as
we can remember. But where did this connection begin and will it
carry on into the future?
Popcorn became a popular snack food in North America in the 19th
century and was sold at circuses and fairs. No kitchen was needed
to prepare it and once the mobile steam owered popcorn maker was
invented, it became possible to mass produce the snack. Popcorn had
an appealing smell when popped and this attracted many people to
buy it.
In
the 1930s, people began flocking to the cinema but at first,
popcorn was not sold inside the cinemas. Cinema owners wanted to
protect the costly carpets that they had put in their cinemas. They
were also concerned that the sound of people eating snacks would
disturb the other people watching the film. So, enterprising
salesmen set up popcorn machines outside the buildings. As lots of
people began buying popcorn on their way into the cinema, cinema
owners understood that they could make money from the popular
snack. Thus, they decided to allow the salesmen to sell popcorn in
the cinema lobby for a daily fee. Eventually, cinemas began selling
snacks themselves. This decision helped save many of the cinema
owners from going out of business.
Today, popcorn is still economically important to cinemas. Because
popcorn is so cheap to make, cinemas make a lot of profits on every
box they sell. Yet, there are those that suggest that popcorn in
cinemas may be on its way out. In recent years, luxury cinemas have
become increasingly popular. These cinemas try to give people a
more “exclusive” experience by serving gourmet food in addition to
traditional popcorn.
Yet despite this development, it is unlikely that popcorn will
vanish completely from cinemas. For many of us, eating popcorn is
an integral part of the experience of watching a film. Even
when
we watch a film on TV at home, we often make ourselves some
microwave popcorn. Old habits, it seems, are hard to break!
