How do you handle unpopped popcorn kernels at the movies? (discuss.online)

If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.

Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.

So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?

Put them in a baggie, then after the movie go to the popcorn people and loudly demand replacements that have been properly and thoroughly popped.

Eat them.

Since I always add salt and shake my popcorn they fall to the bottom and don't cause any issues. So I guess I accidentally handle them by moving them somewhere I don't end up noticing them while eating.

Well, at home at least. Can't remember when I noticed a kernel at a theater.

Ah, my go to has always been sweet popcorns, so I guess the kernels stick and don't fall to the bottom. I should try violently shaking my popcorn next time to see if that helps them unstick and sink

Spit them out, high and wide. The air is going to dry them.
