Movie theatre popcorn often smells like vomit. So does microwave popcorn.

The theatre is probably worried about the 2nd-worst office culinary faux pas: burnt popcorn. The number one office culinary faux pas? Microwaved leftover fish.

Offensive smell ping. Seems I have heard of this issue before.....

Theater Objects To Smell Of Popcorn

I thought they already did.

Oh....I read this to mean that objects in the theater would soon smell like popcorn.

Anyway, if this was really a classy place, wouldn't they call it a Theatre?

It's hard to imagine a movie theatre without popcorn. However, poor indoor air quality is a serious health issue. I learned some things about it in a previous job -- ever since, I've kept my home very well ventilated. The ironic thing is how the health Nazis pass laws to prevent even a minuscule amount of tobacco smoke from entering the vicinity of their nasal passages -- and yet more serious indoor pollutants are ignored.

Just for the record -- I oppose any attempts to legislate air quality in people's homes (which, I fear is on the health Nazis agenda) -- but, people shouldn't have to work in unhealthy offices.

They should allow smoking to help mask the popcorn odor.

It's odd that they should complain about the smell of pop corn. Remember, this is the exact site of the old Iroquois Theater, the one that burned in 1903 during a performance and killed 600 people. They tore the building down and replaced it with the Oriental.

Back in the 1960's in downtown Mobile, I would walk to lunch, in nice weather, and on the way there was a peanut shop on Dauphin St. that roasted their peanuts with the door open and a fan turned on and the aroma drifted up and down the street.

I can't describe how good that smelled. I could be on my way back from lunch, stuffed to the brim, and still want to follow that "peanut scent trail" to that shop and get my fix.

This is just too rich to turn down..............

Seocnd-hand popcorn smoke is a known killer.

[Revolting cat!]

WHAT?! No me?

[AmericanChef]

Cripes, the smell of caramel or kettle corn is p-o-s-i-tively sickening. I become violent if someone wants to assault my senses with it.

[SoothingDave]

There goes my plan to open up a fried bologna concession at the Oriental.

In other news, a local whorehouse objected to the tuna sandwich concession next door.
