Given the raft of alternatives, thanks to Al Gore inventing the internet , humans going to movie theatres in 2022 would be an interesting subject for David Attenborough to explore in his next documentary.

Consider a species that treks across the hazardous plains, rain or shine, to queue up and pay increasing sums of money to voluntarily sit elbow to elbow with 50-100 others for 90-minutes of burping, farting and open-mouth chewing of popcorn, no doubt missing parts of the film they've paid to see whilst hoofing it 1km there and back, just to take a pee.   

A complimentary gift in the USA is wide-eyed dreadful anxiety, similar to Gazelle drinking nervously in the dark at an African watering hole, wondering if, or when, the complete stranger sat next to you will suddenly stand and open fire with a bazooka.  

At any rate, masticating popcorn and nacho tortilla chips en masse ain't got nuthin' on a steaming bowl of wet noodle soup with a pair of chopsticks.   Good Ruck, Korea!

That’s a Nissin cup. Might want a Shin Ramen cup to illustrate properly here.

Ha ha, 2 points to you for attention to detail.  On'ya! 

I did consider that, but meh, wasn't that important.
