POLL — Would you buy an elaborate movie popcorn bucket?

CBC5 hours ago

Collectible popcorn buckets are getting pretty complex
Popcorn buckets have really been popping off.
If you've been to the movie theatres lately, you might have noticed some of the elaborate and expensive buckets offered at the snack stand.
These buckets usually tie into current movies, often as a way to help promote them.
The public is encouraged to 'collect' them.
Canadian theatre chain Landmark Cinemas recently offered creatively shaped popcorn buckets to promote A Minecraft Movie, as well as Stitch-themed ones for Lilo & Stitch.
CBC Kids News couldn't confirm the prices, but found information on another themed bucket from Landmark Cinemas — a Coliseum shape for Gladiator II.
It costs $39.99 and comes with a large popcorn.
Butter is extra.
Here's what some buckets look like
The Minecraft buckets come in the shape of Creepers, a monster from the game, or an axe, one of the tools players use to build.

The Lilo & Stitch buckets have Stitch holding a pineapple or carved coconut.
In the U.S., movie chains like Regal Cinemas are already promoting buckets themed for upcoming movies Superman and Jurassic World: Rebirth.
The Superman one has the superhero using his heat vision to cook a popcorn kettle like the ones many movie theatres usually use at their concession stands.

For Jurassic World: Rebirth, the popcorn bucket has a baby dinosaur inside an incubator, in reference to how scientists clone dinosaurs in the film series.
The price has not been announced.

And the How to Train Your Dragon bucket lets you eat popcorn out of Toothless's mouth.
It costs $53.95 US (about $74 Cdn).
Now that you've seen some of these creative buckets and prices, we want to hear what you think!

Wikwemikong and Six Nations tourism will reunite for the two nations cultural experience on Manitoulin Island starting Thursday.

And that's the bigger piece for us, right? It's really about building community.' The event this year will be held on Georgian Bay and is just one of several events taking place in the next three days. Events kicked off Thursday night with a guided medicine hike and star teaching, while Day 2 on Friday features the canoe journey. Day 3 will be spent celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day. 'Everything starts at 930 a.m. with our unceded Journey Tour,' Wassegijig said. 'It's really an infused experience. It's a historical tour … But it's going to be infused with Haudenosaunee history and their history of wampum and so it's going to be really special.' Special smoke dance Saturday will also include a powwow featuring a special smoke dance and woodland showcase, a presentation of Baagaadowwin and Lacrosse, as well as a two nations culinary experience. 'I think my favourite part is celebrating the two cultures on one dish. It really represents that wampum, the one dish with one spoon,' said Jaquie Jamieson of Six Nations Tourism. Organizers said the event is all about amplifying the voice of Indigenous tourism. 'We appreciate all the people who come out and listen and learn and take away what they can and share it with other people,' Jamieson added. Wikwemikong Tourism will travel to six nations in October for a similar event to celebrate the harvest season. Organizers hope to expand the event next year by bringing the culinary experience to Berlin Food Week.
