How did this overpriced shit become the standard cinema food?

>spending money on snacks

i used to sneak in food items like kfc and beans until.. well until one fateful incident

Because it’s dirt cheap to buy and make. Profit margin in theaters can approach 1000% or some insane shit like that.

As far as snacks go, this is actually fairly healthy.

It was thanks to the great depression. People needed cheaper snacks and popcorn was extremely cheap. IIRC they started serving it in movie theaters because it was making them more money than the actual movie tickets were. They actually kept the prices on tickets lower just so they could get more people in the theaters to sell them popcorn. So it became a cheap staple of the theater experience

yes actually lol anyone with money doesn't need to save $10. "saving money" is a boomer meme and not how you become wealthy

its how they made their money

You don't need to save 10 buck when you're rich. You get rich by saving money, then investing the money to make even more money. But you don't have the money to invest if you don't save it first. Poor people fuck up on the initial step by saying "You don't need to save money lol"

Because the cost is basically zero on soft drinks and popcorn, its all profit.
