Blog: This Sucks For Twilight Fans!
Going to see Twilight? Might want to lay off the popcorn
The next time you head to the movie theatre, consider this review:
Theater popcorn is loaded with calories and artery-clogging saturated fat.
One nutritionist calls it “the Godzilla of snacks”. You can eat more than half a day’s calories and three days’ worth of saturated fat in one large popcorn.
A large-sized popcorn at Regal theaters has 20 cups of popcorn, 1,200 calories and 60 grams of saturated fat.
A large popcorn at AMC has 16 cups, 1,030 calories and 57 grams of saturated fat.
A large from Cinemark: 17 cups and 910 calories, 4 grams of saturated fat.
“Cinemark gives you the best you can expect in movie popcorn, because the company uses non-hydrogenated canola oil, which is low in saturated fat.” Popcorn from both Regal and AMC is higher in saturated fat because the chains use coconut oil, which is 90% saturated. “It’s is the worst possible oil.”
