Hot buttered popcorn! Here’s a 19 second commercial from a 1960 Drive-In movie. Look at the well-behaved girl sitting in the back of the convertible. I just want to smack her. Of course she’s old enough to be my mother. I’ll bet in 1960 when she was filming this commercial, she never dreamed that people would be watching it 50 years later on flat-screen space-age monitors with video signals coming through thin wires into little black boxes sitting on our desks. But we are. And a special thanks to Al Gore for inventing this madness.

Why would you write a post about hot buttered popcorn? Out of the billions of pages on the Internet, I’ll bet I’m the only one who has even read this post. I guess I really don’t have a life. But I do like popcorn!
