Wow


According to a recent study, a medium-size movie theater popcorn and soft drink has the calories, fat, and sodium content of 3 Quarter Pounders topped with 12 pats of butter. I am so grossed out!

The kicker is, that stat (1,200 calories, 60 g of saturated fat, and 980 mg of sodium) is for popcorn WITHOUT the extra 'buttery topping.'

I guess this is all because the popcorn is popped in coconut oil. I know I never come close to eating an entire medium-size popcorn when I go to the movies, but I may have to switch to candy as my snack of choice from now on. What a bummer!
