  • My first job was at a theatre. The black jeans they had us buy to work there never lost the smell of popcorn butter. I kept them for a few years thinking they’d lose the smell after enough washings, but no.

    I know that coke/popcorn/garbage mix smell, and how stupidly heavy a full trash bag gets when there’s too many full sodas in it.

    I don’t eat popcorn often, but I remember we got it for free as employees in a small-sized cup. A few of us would make popcorn “parfaits” that consisted of popcorn, butter, and intentionally too much salt for several layers.

    That and the slightly over-syruped coke we’d also get for free worked oddly well together.

    I assume that this will ultimately be the cause of a massive heart attack, but the free snack smell-memory outpaces the garbage memory for me.
