Popcorn spreads Covid?!
I don’t know how the cinema industry works in France, but if it works like it does in the U.S., this is a recipe for putting movie theaters out of business. In this part of the world, theaters basically break even on ticket revenues and all essentially all of the profit is from the snacks.

Gotta keep dem magik masks up AT ALL TIMES, n’est ce pas?
Who even watches French movies anyway??
Sacre bleu!
I go for the popcorn. The movie is simply a treat to supplement the popcorn.
Right now, other bureaucrats are thinking of ways to screw everything up.
Hubby and I went to the local theater last month. The entire concession stand was shut down. Not only no popcorn, no ice cream (which they always had), no soda, no coffee drinks, no coffee period. The capper, was some teenaged employees, all sitting on their asses doing nothing, yelling at me (a 67 yo senior) because I didn't have my mask on.
Yeah, it will be a long, long time, if ever, that I return to a movie theater.

“Popcorn spreads Covid?!”
Only if you pick it up off the theater floor.
Hey, I only do that with chocolate. Okay, popcorn in my own kitchen.

People were probably unmasking and eating..... popcorn.... one..... kernel......at ......a......time.
Kung-Flu is smart.
It attacks popcorn and bars open past 10pm.
When it attacks gasoline, all is lost.
They used to have a big barrel of peanuts in the waiting area and you could grab handfuls of them and throw the shells to the floor. That was about my favorite part of Texas Roadhouse besides the steaks and the 48 ounce margaritas.
