I got my set for $26.99 at the theater. I think it was cheaper than a large popcorn and soda.

Yeah unfortunately mine had nothing. Was a little disappointing. I was ready to buy merch haha

I would've loved to waste my money on it at Cineplex but I couldn't find any. With shipping to Canada this will be a big no-no unfortunately

That’s hilarious - just got back from seeing the film and paid only $14.99 for the bucket - filled with popcorn and free refills. Think I’m gonna use it for a wine or champagne ice bucket.
Oh, and the movie was great fun. Gonna miss Toblerone while he takes a hiatus.

What do you even DO with the bucket? I saw it in my theater but it was like 20€ and I didn’t know what to do with it. A pot for a plant?
Do people eat so much popcorn? Am I missing something?

Use it for popcorn at home???

Who eats popcorn at home??? It’s not a thing where I am from…

u/Critical_Trifle6228 2d ago
Where are you from? Bagged, microwaveable popcorn is very popular in the United States.

u/Cheap-Worry-4121 2d ago
Germany. We do have microwaveable popcorn but I don’t know anyone who has bought it.

u/CranberryMelonTea 1d ago
You're in the wrong part of Germany or grew up massively different than my social circle then. It's extremely common in my area and growing up we used to make popcorn all the time. It gets sold in stores, like, the kernels, the microwave bags, the premade ones. Look around your chips aisle, most bigger stores definitely do sell it and it gets bought. There are even specialty variants with different flavours :D hell, I know at least one person with a popcorn machine. It's popular as heck around here

u/Cheap-Worry-4121 1d ago
Ok that’s realllyyyy strange. I even asked around to see if I was the weird one. But everyone was like “who eats popcorn at home”? :’D

u/CranberryMelonTea 1d ago
Maybe it's really an areal thing? I'm from western Germany, close to several bordering countries. Maybe it's different in the North / South / East, if that's your rough location ? :D I'm kind of intrigued now, maybe my whole social circle(s) were just always weird ones then.

That’s so bizarre! It’s extremely common here.

u/Cheap-Worry-4121 2d ago
Don’t know why I’m getting the downvotes for this. Is popcorn something treasured in the US? :D
But yeah, it’s not a big thing over here except for going to the movies, that’s why I passed on the bucket. But maybe it would have been nice for a potted plant.

u/sipsredpepper 2d ago
It's not so much treasured? Just common. It's tasty, it's inexpensive, it's satisfying, can often be quite healthy too. I grew up eating tons of it. It was an inexpensive and fairly inoffensive method my parents could employ to keep up with kids snacking.

u/ScaretaleNW 2d ago
quite healthy? how? or is it compared with other junk food in the US?
5
u/sipsredpepper 2d ago
If it's cooked plain with no added fat or salt it's high fiber and often filling without as high calorie content as other common snacks like crackers or chips. So effectively, yes, compared to other junk food. It's not like a plain cucumber or a pile of spinach, but it's world's better than cheetos.

I recommend asking at r/volumeeating about the many benefits of popcorn /hj. Prepared the right way, it's a filling snack you can eat tons of without it being a massive calorie or makro imbalance.

We bought a plastic Taylor Swift Eras tour popcorn bucket several years back. Whenever a kid gets sick, the bucket comes out. It was getting old, so I had an idea...
Alas, the 2B2R bucket that I purchased was metal, so I don't know what the hell to do with it.4
u/Dontlikeusernames527 2d ago
I saw someone on tiktok that had made a vase out of it .. I thought that was cute, but yeah I only bought the tumbler bc I know I’ll use tf outta that 🥤

u/DrustanAstrophel 2d ago
Stick a grocery bag in it and use it as a tiny office sized trash can? 🤷

u/DrustanAstrophel 2d ago
I should note my wife and I opted to only get the tumbler because we don’t really have space for the bucket lol

Unpopular Opinion: these designs suck ass, they're so incredibly boring and for this supposedly being "THE" Ghost movie, you'd think they'd want the bucket and cup to actually look good. Feels cash grabby because they know the fandom will take anything thrown at them, even if it's bad

u/rumblestripper 2d ago
I don't know why you got downvoted for speaking the truth, they look crap.

u/Frodo_Of_The_Shire1 2d ago
Because people don't actually want to hear the truth that their favorite band has become a cash grab anymore, basically

My only complaint regarding the 2BTR experience was that there was no indication at Regal that these were available. Then I saw ppl walk in with them after I had already bought popcorn and drinks and couldn’t help but feel disappointed. I was also hoping to take a picture with my daughter in front of a movie poster but there was none…

u/wonderbrad777 10h ago
The employees at the theater I went to last week couldn't get the IMAX projector working (and they didn't want my help as an AV Engineer go figure) so these are the only good thing to come from that night for me.
Edit I can't spell my own job

For those wondering, it’s the same size as the RHRN bucket, it has the same 3d feel to it, and the inside is purple. The tumbler is just a standard tumbler.
