The novelty popcorn bucket craze was a big hit throughout 2024. Most recently, we saw the \u2018core memory\u2019 popcorn buckets that coincided with the release of Inside Out 2 go viral on TikTok. Then back in March, the Arrakis sandworm, named \u2018wormussy\u2019 by the internet, quickly became a worldwide meme. Marvel also tried their hand at the popcorn game, releasing a bucket depicting a Wolverine with a gaping mouth, ready to be stuffed with popcorn, tied in with the beloved character\u2019s crude humor. Now, in a more wholesome release, there are two new minion-themed popcorn buckets on offer, in conjunction with the fourth installment of the Despicable Me movie franchise. AMC Theatres are the first in line with a new Minion bucket, calling the creation the \u2018Despicable Me 4 Mega Mel Popcorn Container.\u2019 It features beloved character Mel, complete with light-up goggle eye and is approximately 11\u2033 tall and holds 85 oz of snacks. Mega Mel is available to purchase at amctheatresshop.com for $29.99. The next release is from Regal Movies, who have named their bucket the Despicable Me 4 Rock Jerry Popcorn Container. This bucket depicts Jerry, the ever-popular mega Minion. It\u2019s around 6.5\u2033 tall and holds 85 oz of snacks. Rock Jerry is available for purchase at store.regmovies.com for $25.00. The popcorn buckets are already going viral on social media, with customers hitting up their local theaters to try and get their hands on one. People were amazed by the new buckets, writing that they absolutely \u201cneeded\u201d to get one, and others writing that it was \u201cSo cool.\u201d \u201cThat bucket is really good because you can take it home. Make some popcorn, put all the seasoning then shake it up with the back lid closed,\u201d one said, speaking of the Jerry popcorn bucket. \u201cWhy couldn\u2019t they just make the opening in the mouth?\u201d another joked, followed by a crying emoji. This isn\u2019t the only exciting movie memorabilia release surrounding the new Despicable Me movie, either. A Minion-themed refillable cup holder sold at Cinemark is also going viral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
