Why we love that tub of hot buttery popcorn to watch our favourite movies every weekend
I have always been a paranoid mother, controlled screen time, no unhealthy snacks, hovering over the child but I discovered his popcorn love when he was 18 months. He kind of grabbed them from me when we were watching a movie. But taking him out for a 3 hour long movie kind of scares me because the volumes are high and dark theaters can stress out young eye. So we decided to have our own movie nights once a week with a good movie and of course popcorn! However popcorn available outside can never be hygienic so I looked up for options and the only one I could pick was Act II.
Movie time with kids is a good idea to kick in the weekend and you have nothing to do except laze around. The kids get to sit with the family and enjoy quality time. Every Saturday, to enjoy the weekend in peace with my toddler we pick up a movie of his choice from Cars to Spiderman( I have seen it all).
And to make sure he enjoys watching it, I quickly pop the tub in the microwave for 3 minutes and you are done! The reason to pick popcorn is simple, despite having that junk appeal popcorn is quite nutritious and a whole grain too. It is quick to make and importantly the perfect finger food for a movie. Winters also make it difficult to go out often, especially if your kids go out with you and this is where I often use that tub as a reason to party at home.
Why I would suggest it as a snack?
Given in moderation popcorn is healthy, as it is air popped whole grain. But when giving to toddlers make sure they chew properly and then swallow as it is a choking hazard.
It is quick to make and perfect to control in quantity. The new Act II tub works well for the whole family as its simple and quick to make.
Act II makes it even more realistic by launching their tub variant. It is much like the ones available at the movie halls and is available in natural and movie theater butter for an introductory price of INR 92.
