Much to my dismay, it's true. http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-sci-movie-popcorn19-2009nov19,0,4003634.story
I kind of figured it was awful for you because, obviously, anything that is that good is terrible for you, and it's soooo good. But what I didn't know is that with a soda, a medium popcorn is the equivalent of 3 "Quarter Pounders topped with 12 pats of butter."
That's hard information to swallow, literally. However, I figure if I get a diet soda then it's really only like 2 Quarter Pounders with 6 pats of butter and that's nothing that 10 hours at the gym can't reverse.
I truly hate to be the one to share this news, but no one should unknowingly consume that many calories. Man, I am going to miss that greasy sheen on my fingers when I go see Precious and New Moon. :(
I think Dave was fueled to polish off the popcorn tub even faster when learning it was filled the fat equivalent of multiple cheeseburgers.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with his speed and thoroughness. And very jealous of his metabolism.
