But popcorn meant eating, and eating meant taking off my mask during the movie, something I wasn’t entirely comfortable doing.
I could eat a four-course gourmet meal, and if I was seeing a movie afterward, I would still grab a small popcorn.
I compromised by grabbing a drink, I don’t drink much soda outside of the movies anymore, and knew I could slip the straw under my mask without removing it entirely.
I felt like if I was going to spend two hours in a theater, the least I could do was keep my mask on.
