Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies
Why Popcorn Costs so Much at the Movies

If you love going to the movies as much as Web Watch does, you’d be seeing at least two movies a week, every week for a year. 

Granted not every film you see is going to be good.  And not all will be in genres that you always enjoy.

But you’ll definitely see all the great films, all the funny films, and all the films that people will be talking about the next day if you take the time to go to the theater regularly.

But not everyone can afford to spend $12 per movie ticket these days.  Seeing 2 films a week for 52 weeks can add up to over $1200/year… and that’s not counting parking, popcorn, sodas, snacks you sneak into the theater, beer (purchased at the fancy theaters that have a liquor license)… and you can count on doubling that if you go with a date.

$2400 a year, just to sit in the cool air-conditioned comfort of a big screen theatrical event with someone special a few times a week, every week of the year.

Why?

Because Russian researchers have discovered that people harboring a sexually-transmitted disease, smell different.

And that’s why Web Watch is happy to bring you these handy tips on the PROPER WAY TO OPEN A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE without worrying about damaging your home or injuring someone with a flying errant cork, courtesy of Korbel – makers of fine champagne and other beverages.
