Popcorn Party: Bangkok Mall’s All‑You‑Can‑Eat Snack Challenge
On Monday, November 28, a surprisingly enthusiastic crowd flocked to a central Bangkok mall armed with steel vats, cardboard boxes, and an army of plastic containers—just to indulge in an “all you can eat” popcorn deal offered by a local cinema.
What the Buzz Was About
- Deal price: 199 baht (roughly $7.70)
- Customers could scoop up to 57 litres of salty popcorn—more than most people can fit in a family dinner!
- Bottomless soda refills were included to keep the heads wet after all that buttery crunch.
Why the Crowd Carries Containers
“I’m taking home a giant buffet-style dish of popcorn and sharing it with my family and friends,” said 39‑year‑old investment expert Pipat Lorsubkong. He and the others used the makeshift “container challenge” as a playful way to transport their bounty from the cinema to their homes.
Cinema staff dutifully funnel the popcorn into buckets, boxes, and all sorts of quirky vessels, turning the event into a spontaneous popcorn Olympics right in the middle of the mall.
Why It Made Headlines
People joked that the diners were “future pop‑corn pros” and that the popcorn could be a perfect snack for piranabaries—everyone’s craving for sinfully delicious, unlimited flavor. The endless soda refills were a clever nod to the inevitable hydrating after a popcorn binge.
Side Note: Why This Is More Fun Than a Fancy Brunch
While neighbors might be busy planning a “Bottomless Brunch in Singapore: 5 ON 25 presents weekend dim sum champagne club,” Bangkok’s move proves that a giant tub of popcorn can bring a community together, just with more laughter and less cost.
