LOS ANGELES, July 24 (Reuters) - A colossal $80 popcorn container shaped like Marvel's planet-devouring villain Galactus is offering a unique twist on movie snacks.

During its unveiling in Los Angeles, the container drew excited fans to the TCL Chinese Theatre and set a Guinness World Record.

The mammoth movie snack holder, tied to the upcoming "Fantastic Four: First Steps" film, measures 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 17.5 inches tall. It boasts a capacity of 341 ounces (10 liters) – enough to satisfy even Galactus' cosmic appetite.




quote:

Lacey Noel, a tour guide at the TCL Chinese Theatre, presented the bucket to eager onlookers. "It is $80 and people are currently eating it up," she said.
The Galactus container isn't just about size. It features a metallic finish and piercing bright blue LED eyes, adding to its appeal as a display piece long after the popcorn is gone. Fans lined up at the theater's concession stand, eager to get their hands on the limited-edition item.
This record-breaking popcorn bucket represents more than just a novel way to serve cinema snacks. It's part of a broader strategy by movie studios and theaters to lure audiences back to the big screen with exclusive, tangible experiences that can't be replicated at home.

quote:

Chris Banda, a fan who purchased the Galactus bucket, praised the initiative.
"I think these buckets are fantastic," he said. "I obviously wouldn't have got this if I didn't come to the theaters and I think it's designed very well and it's got a lot of popcorn, so cool."

Reminds me how bourbon distilleries used to bottle their juice in cool glass or ceramic bottles to try and move product during periods of low demand.

There may be no bigger red flag than bringing a chick back to your pad and she sees this fricking thing on a shelf.

And the same idiots buying this will tell us how the system is rigged for them to never afford a car or house or avocado toast.

I went to see this at a Dolby Cinema last night in Portland. It was super fun and really the best Marvel film I've seen in many years.

Agree. It was "Largest Commercially Available"
That should be an easy record to break.

The chic from Aliens Attack will explain it all in this video:



Holy crap, the dude the news channel interviews!

Fanboys are just simps without the pics of naked women.

Cosplay chicks don't date fanboys. Their Gymbro boyfriends are fine with them extracting cash from them, though.
