Huh. TIL.

To me popcorn goes in the same category as potato chips, salty. Always salty. But apparently it lands with candy for a part of the world? I had no idea.

Do you sweet popcorn people get some other salty snack? Or are all your movie snacks sugary?

To me the ultimate combo is salty popcorn (maybe even buttery) and a sweet drink.

Even in the US sweet popcorn is a thing. We have kettle corn, or those tins with caramel popcorn. Salty/buttery is definitely the most popular though.

Yeah, but usually that’s not at the movies.

I'm sure I can find some if I look here too.

I'm curious about what people eat together with them, because to me salty+savory snacks go with sweet+sour soda.

Do people in these countries go sweet+sweet, or is there more to this?

In Germany, all cinemas I visited had a salty option, the most common being nachos with some dip. But I don't remember ever seeing salty popcorn offered here, even outside cinemas it is rare.

Rare indeed. The first time I came across salty popcorn as a kid, I felt the kind of betrayal that leads to a livelong grudge.

I still think salty popcorn is disappointing and weird.
