Did you know Americans "eat more than a billion pounds of popcorn every year?"

Think about it. How much does popcorn weigh? How many ounces is a billion pounds? I know, it's easy math, but the point is that it's a lot of popcorn. No wonder we're all fat from eating non-essential food products. I'm glad I don't weigh a billion pounds.

Here's an article over at ABC that talks about movie theatre popcorn.

I'd have to ask, are we really eating a billion pounds, or are we throwing it at the screen when we see sucky movies like The X-Files, I Want To Believe? While I was sitting thru that one last night, I kept thinking of the title in this way: "The X-Files, I Just Want to Leave."

It always sucks when a movie has great potential and then they screw it up by making the monsters into plain old russian speaking scientists who transplant heads from one body to the next.
