Butter. Parkay. Butter. Butter.

I don't like this trend of letting the customer handle the buttering of their popcorn. Everyone knows that movie theater butter is liquid heart disease. But when I ask the guy behind the counter for butter, I can always complain that he put too much on, then sigh and eat the popcorn anyway, thus absolving myself of any responsibility related to my clogged arteries. But when they put the butter dispenser out there for me to apply the butter, any amount I put on is going to make me feel guilty--and there's no one to blame.

Thankfully, I don't go to the movies that often, and when I do, I usually only get popcorn when I get a soda to help me stay awake.
