On Selling Popcorn

On Selling Popcorn

Ok, I want to do an extensive post on this idea of selling popcorn at some point.

I’m blogging through books I have read and all, but there are hundreds of books I read before I started writing online.

And – in one of them – I vividly remember a chapter on this very topic.

The book is Hidden Order: The Economics Of Everyday Life, By: David Freeman (Amazon).

If you don’t know, physicist David Freeman is the son of the famous economist, Milton Freeman.

Anyway, I’ll link the post here when I get around to it.

This was just too funny not to share.

But Jeremy Irons is right! 🤣

Hint: The prices would likely be even higher, if not for the movie studios looking at ticket revenue.
