DC Fans Point out Major Issue with Supergirl’s Popcorn Bucket

A new Supergirl popcorn bucket is getting a lot of criticism for its poor design. Usually, movie theaters offer collectible popcorn buckets around the time a big film is released, and these buckets are typically sized to hold a large popcorn serving. While some are shaped like characters or objects from the movie, the main point is to offer a souvenir you can take home and still enjoy a good amount of popcorn during the film. However, this new Supergirl bucket seems to completely miss the mark – it’s so small it barely holds any popcorn at all.

People on X reacted to a post from DCFilmNews showing off the new Supergirl popcorn bucket. They shared a video of what was labeled the Lobo popcorn bucket, with the caption, “New look at the Lobo Popcorn Bucket for ‘SUPERGIRL’.” X users quickly noticed something was wrong.

Supergirl’s Lobo Popcorn Bucket Holds Almost No Popcorn

The Supergirl-themed popcorn container isn’t a typical bucket—it’s actually a figure of Lobo on his motorcycle! You remove Lobo to find a small opening underneath to fill with popcorn. However, it’s quite small, fitting easily in one hand, and doesn’t hold much—barely even one scoop of popcorn. Most collectible popcorn buckets are large enough for a family to share, holding almost a full large size tub. As people on X noted, if you buy this Supergirl bucket, you might only get a couple of handfuls of popcorn before it’s empty during the movie.

One user commented that it barely resembled a bucket, while another playfully called it a popcorn container.

Despite the small portion size, many fans still plan to purchase the item, viewing it as a collectible rather than a snack to enjoy during the Supergirl movie.

One X user had a simple solution to make the Lobo collectible even better: include a free bucket of popcorn with every purchase. They explained, “I instantly went from thinking this was cool to thinking it was a bad idea, and all it would take is a free bucket of popcorn.”

One person pointed out that this seems like a way for theaters to make extra money by selling expensive collectibles instead of providing actual popcorn. They added that while they understand theaters need to make a profit, the container is too small to even hold a decent amount of popcorn.

Some fans suggested collectible popcorn buckets that would be really impressive. One person, for example, proposed a huge Supergirl boot designed to hold a lot of popcorn.

Supergirl premieres in theaters on June 26th. Moviegoers planning to see it with popcorn should be aware that the special Lobo-themed buckets might not hold enough for a whole family – you may want to ask for popcorn to be added to a standard container instead.
