Or, go to the movies, watch Anthony Hopkins eat fried people fingers followed by watching Tom Hanks get a tan.. 4 hours; 29 bucks. American.
This assumes that the participant either had a date, or ordered 4 large popcorns. From what macboy has shown us... it was the latter.

Hey! I *resent* the statement about the movie theater.
$29 =
1 Adult Evening ticket: $8.25
1 Large Popcorn: $6.29
1 Large Drink (can never go without it) $4.50
Total: $19.04
You forgot that ALL large sizes come with a free refill!
Of course, a large size usually consists of a 2lb bag of popcorn and a 64oz mug.
Some small facts I'll let you in on:
Each small bag of popcorn sold at a movie theater costs about 2c. At a usual Hoyts going rate (local chain of theaters) of $4.29, you figure out the percent of profit. Same goes for that mug of coke you buy - the syrup is about $70 for each case in the back, and each of those cases puts out about 100 or so drinks at an average of $4.00 a piece.
The butter? About 100 calories each squirt. (dead serious)
Used to work in a movie theater!
Hey wait... isn't this thread about how Tom Hanks talks to a volleyball? (seems to tbe that FedEx is in the same situation)
