However, by some weird wrap-around, I do like the theater-style fake butter that comes on popcorn.

I just eat it for that ill headachey/stomachachey feeling that comes from having eaten nothing since breakfast but a huge bag of movie popcorn, while watching the critically acclaimed blockbuster "FACE/OFF" in a theater with the sound turned up to apocalyptic volume on underpowered speakers for maximum distortion.

Having experienced this sort of thing, one typically feels too full and unwell to really want to eat, despite the knowledge on an intellectual level that only eating some actual food will start the healing. It turns eating into a fascinatingly abstract activity.
