Do You Like A Popcorn?
When I was a teenager and young adult, many of the movies
were shown at drive in theaters. You paid admission and
drove your car into a large parking lot equipped with speakers
for each car. All you had to do was find yourself a spot
about 3 rows from the front and ease your car up to the post
that held the wired-in speaker. Lift the speaker off the
post and hang in inside your car on the window
glass. Then, turn the volume knob clockwise till you
could hear the movie.
Most of the time, you would get to see two movies.
This was called a "double feature". In between the
movies, an intermission or break was held. Efforts were
made by the owner to get people to come up to the snack bar and
buy hot dogs, chili pies, drinks, and...popcorn. Watch
the following short video of an advertisement played during the
intermission period...
