I guarantee everyone below the execs knew what this thing looked like, and correctly guessed that the sales would go crazy because of it.
But I don’t get it. It’s too big and the tips sticking out look very flimsy. How does it stimulate. If anyone used it, please let me know the physics behind it.
It’s for meming about using it like that, not honestly doing it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Looking back, it appears the theater chain/increasing novelty popcorn holder vendor might have done things very differently if it knew it was going to become a moment.
We would have never created it knowing it would be celebrated or mocked,” AMC Chief Content Officer Elizabeth Frank told Variety about the overwhelming response to the sandworm bucket, which even got cast and crew talking for its, uh… soft, wormy tendrils, driving people to go crazy with demand for the shai-hulussy-shaped vessel.
The Dune bucket even got its own SNL skit, although Frank doesn’t think that it’s success either means there’s demands for the theater chain to go even more deranged for future buckets, or that the increasing trend of wildly shaped popcorn holders is suddenly a vital part of the company’s plans.
There’s another group of people who are specific film fans, buying three different Ghostbusters products.
I bet the Dune bucket made some other things more fun too, but perhaps we shouldn’t go chasing sandworms looking for another of its kind any time soon.

Oh look, a bunch of polluting plastic designed to be used once and then trashed
To be fair, these are novelty promotional collectors items, not really meant to be trashed.
It’s different from all the plastic packaging you find on every item in the supermarket, when they ban the one final plastic bag people use to carry all their other plastic bags.
Anything that is made as a “collectors” item is just landfill fodder. It’s junk that isn’t worth anything. Just look at Funko Pops.
