Go big or go cosmic: Marvel's RM340 Galactus popcorn bucket sets Guinness World Record (VIDEO)
LOS ANGELES, July 26 — A colossal US$80 (RM340) popcorn container shaped like Marvel's planet-devouring villain Galactus is offering a unique twist on movie snacks. During its unveiling in Los Angeles, the container drew excited fans to the TCL Chinese Theatre and set a Guinness World Record. The mammoth movie snack holder, tied to the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps film, measures 20 inches (51 cm) wide and 17.5 inches tall. It boasts a capacity of 341 ounces (10 litres) — enough to satisfy even Galactus' cosmic appetite. Lacey Noel, a tour guide at the TCL Chinese Theatre, presented the bucket to eager onlookers. 'It is US$80 and people are currently eating it up,' she said. The Galactus container isn't just about size. It features a metallic finish and piercing bright blue LED eyes, adding to its appeal as a display piece long after the popcorn is gone. Fans lined up at the theatre's concession stand, eager to get their hands on the limited-edition item. This record-breaking popcorn bucket represents more than just a novel way to serve cinema snacks. It's part of a broader strategy by movie studios and theatres to lure audiences back to the big screen with exclusive, tangible experiences that can't be replicated at home. Chris Banda, a fan who purchased the Galactus bucket, praised the initiative. 'I think these buckets are fantastic,' he said. 'I obviously wouldn't have got this if I didn't come to the theatres and I think it's designed very well and it's got a lot of popcorn, so cool.' — Reuters
