With economic woes sweeping the nation, flat-screen TV sales, surprisingly, have increased 23 percent since 2008 - indicating that more people are choosing to stay home and watch movies rather than shell out big bucks at movie theaters.
This comes as no surprise to the owners of
www.JustPoppin.com, who are announcing their new "Movie Nights At Home" contest, for all current and new newsletter subscribers.
"The time just seemed right to do something like this," said business owner Jennie Smolow. "The economy has everybody hurting in one way or another. It's a fact that people are going out less, while watching movies at home is more popular than ever. We know that our gourmet popcorn helps make those nights at home more fun for our current customers and this is an opportunity for us to bring that enjoyment to even more people."
Popcorn has been intertwined with the movie-going experience since the 1920s. It is one of the original "comfort foods." During the Great Depression, for just a penny, Americans could experience the unique and enjoyable flavor of warm, just popped popcorn. The connection between the movies and popcorn continued and today is as strong as ever.
Popping popcorn can be a fun activity for the whole family while preparing for Movie Nights At Home. It's also financially sensible considering 2 pounds of gourmet popcorn kernels cost less than a single large bucket of popcorn at most movie theaters, according to Smolow.
