(SPOT.ph) Snacks are an indispensable part of the movie-going experience in our book, but it often requires a full-blown strategy—one that lets you try as wide a variety in one go without breaking the bank. Thankfully, you don't need to keep debating with yourself or your movie date on which flavored popcorn to get; or whether to set aside extra budget to get your favorite flavor and its contrasting counterpart, be it sweet-salty cheddar, the sourness of sour cream, or the spicy kick of barbecue.
Enter SM Cinema's solution: Sampler Popcorn. This limited-time item is the perfect much-needed option for the chronically indecisive, those whose cravings change every five minutes, or both.
SM Cinema Celebrates International Popcorn Day With Limited-Edition Popcorn Sampler
SM Cinema is rolling out its first-ever Popcorn Sampler in celebration of International Popcorn Day on January 19. The sampler comes in a sleek hexagon-shaped container with six flavors neatly divided—because this isn't a popcorn roulette.
The six flavors you get with SM Cinema's Popcorn Sampler include all the contrasting and complementary flavors. There's the no-nonsense Plain Salted; Sweet Corn for that double-corn action; Truffle for a premium taste; and, of course, the Holy Trinity of Cheese, BBQ, and Sour Cream.
SM Cinema's Popcorn Sampler is only priced at P165, which is relatively affordable, especially if you're sharing it with your date. The catch? It's only available for three days—that is, from January 17 to 19 (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday).
The movies scheduled in SM Cinemas during these dates are 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, A Werewolf Boy, Anaconda, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Call Me Mother, Greenland 2: Migration, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, Shake, Ratte, & Roll: Evil origins, The Housemaid, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, Wicked: For Good, and Zootopia 2.
