27 Movie Trivia Nuggets from Pop Culture History for Saturday, November 29, 2025
What's your go-to treat for watching a movie at home? Many like to recreate the theater-going experience in their own living rooms; that means a big, old bucket of popcorn, some soda, and candy – Milk Duds, Sour Patch Kids, or Nerds Ropes are essential. If you're feeling a little extra, you could even make yourself some nachos or warm up a pretzel.
I personally like to tailor my meal around whatever it is I'm watching; if I put on an old Japanese flick, I'm ordering sushi. If it's David Lynch night, I have to make sure I have some cherry pie on my menu. Whatever you choose to eat, enjoy your meal while gaining fascinating film knowledge in the process.
