Popcorn still tastes bloody awful, finds study

A new study has concluded that popcorn still tastes bloody awful and that people who eat it are weird.

The study divided respondents into two groups – ‘normal,’ which contained those who thought popcorn tasted bloody awful, and ‘weirdos,’ who thought popcorn tasted nice.

The responses from those in the ‘weirdos’ group were immediately discarded because there is no point in listening to what weirdos say.

The remaining responses showed that in 100% of cases, respondents had stated that popcorn tasted bloody awful.

In many cases the respondents also had checked a box that indicated they thought that popcorn smelt of sick and you’d have to be mental to want to eat it.

“Well, I don’t think that anyone is surprised in the survey results,” said Joan Breslaw, Professor of Horrible things at Oxford University.

“I’ve studied horrible things all my life, and popcorn has always been up there with Lilt, Southern Trains, and Smallpox as the most horrible things.”

However, it is thought that cinema chains will continue to ignore surveys such as this and insist on selling big buckets of popcorn when everyone who is normal would prefer them to sell big plates of really nice cheese instead.
