    Quoted from TenaciousT:

    For joemagiera - I thought all pop corn now was popped somewhere else then brought to the theater in bags? So the people working the counter wouldn't have a clue !

    For the last 5 1/2 years I maintained /repaired the video games in the game rooms of 2 local Cinemark Theaters until last June when they sold their in house arcades.
    They pop so much popcorn the oil gets airborne and makes it's way into the arcade games. The cooling fans pulls the air into the cabinet and it collects on the cooling fans and makes a mess. Here is pictures from a Dead Heat driving game. The Time Crisis 4 was even worse. I had a puddle of oil on the floor under the cabinet.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Thats insane!
    How close was the popcorn machines to the arcade?
    Do you think that the pop ventilation system was crossed and somehow dumping steam and oil into the arcade room?
    What did the employee's lungs look like? "Doc, that dry cough; it totally disappeared when I started working at Cinemark!"

    Here's a picture, the arcade is on the left and the popcorn poppers are on the right side of a huge high ceiling lobby.
