Why is popcorn so inexpensive when you buy from the store?!
as oppose to the movies,(probably didn't feel like reading the rest)
you get more than what you pay for in my
opinion, 25 cent bag is bigger than the 50 pact of chips and the microwave popcorn is a lot bigger than the littlest of the littlest tub at the movies!.
Which bring me to the point of my question Why is popcorn so cheap, however at the movies you pay an arm and leg for a small and forgot about the big tubs now they are really expensive why is that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I used to work at a movie theatre so I know why!. So much of the money for the movie ticket goes to the distributors, film companies, and so on!. The movie theatre doesn' t get any profit from the movie tickets!.
The only other place they could get a profit is from the popcorn and other refreshments!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually, the movie theater is THE MOST EXPENSIVE restaurant in almost any town!. They charge 3 dollars or more for a nickle's worth of corn and 20 cents worth of packaging!.
Used to be that getting pop corn popped in peanut oil was a treat you could only get at the theater!. I suppose that made the exorbitant price worth paying!. Now it is just crazy!.
That said, the reason it costs so much is that you are a captive audience and they make most of their money at the concession stand!.
And never mind the price you pay for a soda!. And that is almost ALL water!Www@FoodAQ@Com
