We went to see Charlie Wilson’s War at the cinema the other day. It was a lunchtime screening, which provided me with the perfect excuse to eat popcorn! The beloved doesn’t eat popcorn so the larger menu options just aren’t necessary, but he does drink the cola so we share a large cup between the two of us.

There is one problem with this cosy arrangement.

For some really bizarre reason, a large cola and a medium popcorn costs more than a large cola and a large popcorn ‘combo’. So in order to save myself 65 cents, I went with the large option.

Check out the size of that bucket! And in what mad universe does more food cost less than less food? I even asked the girl behind the counter if I could pay for the large combo and just get the smaller popcorn AND SHE SAID NO. And they wonder why more than 50% of Australians are overweight.
