Chicago Popcorn Is Deadly – But A Tenner For Two Bags? That’s Just Taking The Piss

There doesn't seem to be a day goes by in this country without people getting angry about high prices on everything, from houses to bottles of water. 

Rip-off Ireland seems to be well and truly back after a few years off during the recession with the latest example being popcorn in the cinema. 

And not even the freshly made stuff.

We have no problem paying a little bit more for top-quality goods, and there's no denying that Chicago Popcorn is pretty bloody excellent. But 20c change from a tenner for two bags of popcorn. 

Come on now.
