What is so brilliant about this is there was no animation.
Adult actors actually performing, not just lending their voice to a cartoon bird.
A movie where I didn’t have to wear 3D glasses.
A movie where Ryan Gosling gratuitously goes shirtless.
A movie where I didn’t have to worry about Icees spilling or popcorn sharing.
It was nice.
But while distracted by all the Gosling abs I unconsciously consumed about a week’s worth of calories that a bag of movie theater popcorn contains.
I am convinced that the nasty fake butter drizzle that goes on top is the devil’s nectar.
Like the popcorn doesn’t have enough calories and saturated fat by itself I make the solid choice to drizzle more cellulite juice on top.
I blame Gosling. He and his 6 pack made my mind all screwy.
I left the movie, not with a stronger resolve to do more sit ups…no, of course that’s not what I did.
I made the very rational decision to one up the popcorn situation…I had done my research in good will and felt obligated to help the world, not with my chiseled abs, but with a perfected popcorn.
Choose your battles, folks.
Snickers Popcorn
First you need to pop your corn. I use an air popper.
Butter Brown Sugar Corn syrup = Delicious
Boil it for 5 minutes…no scary candy thermometer involved. Rejoice!
Pop the popcorn back in the oven for 3 minutes just enough time to melt the Snickers to the popcorn.
Transfer the popcorn back to the wax paper and spread out to cool…and you could stop here. I wouldn’t be mad.
But if you WANT, you could drizzle some melted chocolate on top.
It makes the popcorn happy…trust me.
When it’s set serve it up with a side of Gosling.
