Cinemagoers ate three billion grams of popcorn in 2011
Cinemagoers in the UK ate almost three billion grams of popcorn in 2011.
Results released by Empire Cinemas say that film fans ate more than two and a half billion pieces of popcorn: enough to fill 150,000 double-decker London buses that would stretch for more than 1,000 miles!
Of the millions of boxes of popcorn sold at Empire Cinemas, 80% were sweet and only 20% salty.
This year looks set to be an even bigger year for filmgoers, with big releases from all of the major film studios.

It's amazing how much popcorn can be eaten in a year and how many people like sweet popcorn better than salty. I never have popcorn when I am going to the cinema but I am sure its nice.
