- drstewart 7mo agoDo Europeans know you can watch soccer without drinking beer? It's cheaper and healthier. Absolutely bizarre obsession you lot have with it.
- DareTheDev 7mo agoEuropeans don’t watch soccer. They watch football.
- quotz 7mo agobeer is way cooler than popcorn
- no_wizard 7mo agoIt’s a communal thing. It’s more than just the sport it’s also about being out with other fans, showing support and usually friendly ribbing of the opposing teams fans from time to time. That is how it was explained to me when I said something similar
- mosura 7mo agoSoccer without beer would be like college basketball without the gambling.
- sdoering 7mo agoGerman here. I have never not had popcorn when going to the movies in my younger days. It is just part of the experience. But in my days it was around 12€ for a ticket, popcorn and a coke. And there were cinema days with special deals. Or cheap sneak previews. I would never go when paying for me and my SO is equivalent of one of my subscriptions for a year.
- lanfeust6 7mo agoHonestly the stench of theatre popcorn, and all the masticating around me, grosses me out. Fortunately it usually subsides.
- sowbug 7mo agoGood point! At home you can watch a movie without being judged on your choice of snacks.
- nradov 7mo agoThere's nothing unhealthy about plain popcorn with a little salt. The added "butter" or other toppings may be problematic.
- skeeter2020 7mo agoI mean you can stay home and have zuchini slices with cottage cheese instead of nachos too; that's not really the point.
