To me popcorn goes in the same category as potato chips, salty. Always salty. But apparently it lands with candy for a part of the world? I had no idea.
Do you sweet popcorn people get some other salty snack? Or are all your movie snacks sugary?
To me the ultimate combo is salty popcorn (maybe even buttery) and a sweet drink.
In Germany, all cinemas I visited had a salty option, the most common being nachos with some dip. But I don't remember ever seeing salty popcorn offered here, even outside cinemas it is rare.
I was thinking of moving to Germany but I just can't now. Sweet popcorn? In a theater? Half the reason I even go to theaters is so I can eat enough buttery topping with some popcorn mixed in to feel sick. The absolute madness of putting sugar on popcorn, I'd sooner eat a bowl of unpopped kernels
But for real all you salty/savory popcorn lovers out there: If you haven't tried it yet put some powdered brewers yeast on your popcorn. That stuff is magical. Goes weirdly well on pizza too
I find this funny as im from the US and like to vacation in nordic countries. Sweden and Iceland so far. Still need to get to Norway to see the Fjords, I hear someone got an award for those.
I lived in Berlin for almost 4 years and it lost all of the appeal during that time.
It's hip and cool to visit, but if you actually live there and have to take the subway to work at 7 when all the drunk clubbers are just getting home, reeking of weed, booze, vomit, and piss, it's not so fun anymore. Plus it's really really dirty in most somewhat central locations.
Stockholm on the other hand is awesome, fully agree. Might as well throw Oslo and Helsinki into the mix. And Reykjavik for good measure. I really love the Nordics.
Pro tip: Riga is like a cheap cousin of Stockholm. Just as nice at a quarter of the price.
I live in Paris, I have been to London, Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Athens and Rome.
My two favourites are Berlin and Rome. Berlin because of the energy and just plain coolness, Rome because where else can you find so much amazing art and architecture within 10 or 20 minutes of each other, walking distance? And the food is amazing, of course.
Second in line are Amsterdam, Athens and London, all of them great, but London I found was really expensive. Athens is a bit behind Rome, but a truly lovely place to explore. Amsterdam is also lovely, accessible and very very beautiful.
Brussels is OK, I guess, but mainly for the people who I thought were very kind. Some places in Brussels are ok, but it's not as nice as Amsterdam for example.
Next in line for me are Madrid and Lisbon, I love Spain already and I can recommend places like Granada and Sevilla, which are totally amazing.
I like Berlin and Lisbon. Luxembourg is also nice. I kinda liked Copenhagen but not as much. These are actually the only capitals I've been to, come to think of it. Well I didn't mention amsterdam but I'm Dutch.
