Mexican Coca-Cola is the way to go. It uses sugar rather than HFCS.
Tastes like the cola that was around when I was a kid. In fact the
company that makes those lime and orange sodas that Mexican restaurants
serve has also gotten into the sugar sweeten cola biz. Pepsi tried it a
few years back but didn't continue. Coke seems to be behind the curve.
Many candy companies are dropping HFCS. We've had those "new fangled"
drink dispensers at some theaters here for years.
I looked into the "theater butter" flavoring and apparently after years
of taking hits they make it from natural ingredients. It's oilier than
butter though. You can even buy the stuff online from places like Amazon
and put it on your own popcorn. I like melted sweet cream butter from
Europe. And sometimes I pop with olive oil and throw some herbs in
too. I recently got a new Whirly Popper to replace the old one. Looks
like they have made the gears which are about the only thing that breaks
replaceable.

Excellent point about the reclining seats. Yes, the wife did almost
doze off, she said.
Now, unfortunately this theater did not have real butter, but here's
the deal. They had two (fake) butter dispensers, where you serve your
own butter flavored stuff. And get this, the dispenser next to the
one I was using was empty, so there was a guy waiting for me to
finish, and I felt some obligation to butter my corn quickly, and,
alas, shorted myself. Now, as I had asked for a cardboard tray so
both my wife and I could have our own batches, my wife's portion got
shorted as well, but she didn't mind.
I have not tasted a Coke Zero, so I cannot testify to the taste, but I
am happy to report that the Coke was up to standard. And, I might
add, I can immediately detect when I have been served a Diet Coke, as
opposed to a real Coke as sometimes happens.
What I think happens in that case, is that the server, most often a
woman, cannot fathom that anyone would order a regular coke, and so
instinctively gets the Diet Coke.
By the way, they had one of those new fangled soda dispensers where
you can have most any variation of the drink you want. As a matter of
fact, I served up, a lime coke, regular coke combo. Very satisfying.
Now, as far as the movie is concerned, I don't know if you know
anything about it, but it revolves around a girl, and her four primary
emotions: Joy, Sadn! ess, Fear, and Anger, and how they those feelings
play out in her daily life. Drama ensues, and things get pretty
dicey, but not too intense for the younger audience.
Sorta hard to give much a synopsis.
Again, we went in with pretty high expectations, and felt a little let
down.
Thanks for asking!

Did you stay awake? I mean reclining seats though that may just be
the seats like are at the theater up the hill from me that is all
digital (one of the first in the Bay Area). But the seat I take does
not recline because it's right under the projection booth and that's
to avoid any "seat kickers" or "stinky tennies" on the top of the seat
next to me. So how was the movie? How was the popcorn? Real butter?
How was the coke?
Pixar is down the road about 30 miles from here. In and Out is a
burger chain in California.
I watched "Blackhat" which is a Michael Mann movie last night on DVD.
It was so-so for a Michael Mann movie but it was free as Lucky's gives
a code for a free DVD rental a week when you shop there.

Movie Review
In and Out
My wife went to see this last night, as it had such marvelous
reviews.
We saw it in one of those renovated theaters with reclining seats
which you can reserve ahead of time.
We got popcorn and she got a Coke Zero and I got a regular Coke.
The little feature beforehand was called LAVA, and we enjoyed
that very much.

Now, I have never watched Game of Thrones, so I really can't
offer a baseline comparison, but I'd say the film was okay, but
did not live up to the almost uniform rave reviews.
I'm giving it a B. (oops, maybe, I should go A- or C+ (-:
