South Korean cinema chain CGV introduces cement-bag sized popcorn

A South Korean cinema chain broke the internet recently by announcing that they are selling their popcorn by the bulk.

On 18 May, CJ CGV, the largest multiplex cinema chain in South Korea, recently went on Facebook to advertise their new popcorn promotion, revealing that cinemagoers can now purchase a cement-bag sized popcorn at KRW 9,900 per bag at selected theatres nationwide.

And the promo images are something to behold.

Can we suggest our local cinema chains to do this as well? Should we make a petition?
