Dear Poor Lucky Me,
What is really going on inside a Garrett’s popcorn? It looks from the outside like it’s a popcorn shop, but that can’t be.
Every day, all day, a line forms at that place going around the block. It’s mostly tourists. Sometimes I think if I were ever going to really try it out I would have to dress like a tourist to even be allowed in that lines.
Can you tell me what’s happening? It’s not just popcorn…right?
With Affection,
Assuming Its Drugs
Dear Assuming,
Garrett’s popcorn is not drugs in the traditional sense of the word. It’s modern drugs- drugs for the 2010′s! It’s popcorn used as a vehicle for butter cheese and sugar.
The place is packed with tourists because vacation is the best time to eat like an insane person. You might have bad eating habits at home too, but most people have a sense of shame about it. On vacation you can eat fried dough right out in the open. That’s the whole reason people go to Disney land and Six Flags. It’s not the roller coasters, it’s the corn dogs.
Honestly, I used to eat Garrett’s about twice a month. It was when I was really broke all the time and needed to eat food with a high caloric content just in case I had to spend the rest of my money on parking tickets. You can eat a small bag of that stuff and be ok for about 48 hours. So it’s pretty useful. But that was back when really aggressive people worked there. It was like The Wiener Circle does snack food, and it keep all the tourists away. Now that all the workers have to be nice and the line looks like the line outside the Louvre it’s not worth it.
Sincerely,
Poor Lucky Me
