    The only time we ever got a large was when there were 3 or more people. I wouldn't eat much, maybe 1/8 of the bucket, then my parents would split the rest.

    All this comes down to is portion size, portion size, portion size. Sure, get the large popcorn; just don't eat it in its entirety by yourself.

    I know, the large is too big to eat solo but it is good to keep these things in mind. The large sizes here are refillable, yikes! I can't imagine needing a refill!

    I always find it hard to eat a small amount - its so addictive!

    I say skip the popcorn all together. You can buy individual packs of raisinettes at any grocery store and they are only 150 calories a pack. That and a bottle of water, you've got yourself a great movie snack!

    I have a weakness for the hot pretzel that they sell at movie theaters...I always get it unsalted and w/o the gross cheese dip. Sure, it's a carb nightmare, but relatively low fat and better for you than the popcorn!
