Popcorn Chat 🍿

Haven’t checked this thread for a while. If I’d known I was going to stumble on this today I’d have bought popcorn while I was at Tesco last night.

Not everyone sees investments as a naked financial calculation.

Oh totally, but from my own experience (others might have different) any VC I’ve ever been involved with has only really cared about one thing, the bottom line. Maybe I need to find company with more ethical VCs perhaps.

@fryry

The white candidate’s file would be thrown straight in the bin by such a person, damaging Monzo.

You’re really reaching. I don’t think that’s what @simonb is saying at all. In fact the opposite I belive?

@projectfortytwo

Mines always sweet and salty. So if you’re buying…

Mines always sweet and salty.

The BEST combo!

@JIMMWX

sweet and salty

Popcorn is not meant to be sweet. I will fight anyone on it.

@JIMMWX

the newest Monzo adverts came on over lunch on Youtube

Knowing my chance I’ll never see them, though I’d like to.

Bruh. Sweet is good. Salty is good. Sweet and salty together is never good!

Excuse you!

BRB. Just taking my earrings outs.

When at the cinema I ask for sweet on the bottom and salted on the top. Savory starter followed by a sweet dessert.

[N26throwaway (Sir Tom MacMonier)]

Now there’s a thread for it, it calls for a poll!

• Popcorn should be SWEET
• Popcorn should be SALTY
• Popcorn should be BOTH

[ndrw (Smartest ‘person’ in the ‘room’.)]

Popcorn should have butter on it. Salty is the next best (and only other acceptable) option.

[N26throwaway (Sir Tom MacMonier)]

Oh you’re one of those.

You know what I saw in a local shop the other day? cheese popcorn. I bought it and started eating it not realising it was cheese. Absolutely vile. Who comes up with these flavours?

There should only ever be two popcorn flavours. Sweet and salty. The others don’t exist. As real as a pigeon.

[StuartL (Stuart)]

Toffee popcorn is quite nice too

@N26throwaway

I humbly disagree! Also, dear god what have I started

[Ordog]

I was just about to post this. It’s the best. Dead easy to make and super tasty.

We went through a phase of buying flavoured sugar (aka seasoning) off Ebay for popcorn and trying things like candyfloss. That made a nice change too.

Very - when you walk to the shop & buy it

[ndrw (Smartest ‘person’ in the ‘room’.)]

@N26throwaway

Oh the ad hominems!

@N26throwaway

This I can agree on.

I think the sweet v salty must be a cultural thing. No other country I’ve been to/lived in has even had sweet popcorn for sale.

[Ordog]

It’s nowhere near the same as homemade though and it’s still nice and warm too!

[N26throwaway (Sir Tom MacMonier)]

Not sure if it’s cultural, but there was a splatfest in it a few years back, so it must span multiple cultures.

You’ll be thrilled to know team salty won it though!

Salty vs. Sweet

[ndrw (Smartest ‘person’ in the ‘room’.)]

Apparently Spain is salty and Portugal is sweet from what I’ve seen. China is also sweet. But most on Reddit are salty so sweet must be a minority.

[StuartL (Stuart)]

@ndrw

most on Reddit are salty

Still talking about popcorn?

[ndrw (Smartest ‘person’ in the ‘room’.)]

Good question

[BritishLibrary (Ben)]

Does anyone have any good airfryer popcorn recipes?
