NEW YORK—Movie munchers beware! A New York judge says popcorn purchasers worried about breaking a tooth on unpopped kernels should nibble carefully -- or eat something else.
Insurance broker Steve Kaplan says he encountered a double dud while watching the movie "Superbad" at the AMC-Lincoln Square Cinema a year ago: His tooth hurt and the movie was awful.

If it wasn't "at your own risk," theatres would be funding root canals for every person who knew they could get paid. It's popcorn. It has old maids. Deal with it.
WOW, has this guy NEVER popped a bag of popcorn at home?? was that his first time eating the stuff? I always took it for granted as common sense that not every single kernel was going to pop (not unless you want to scorch everything else!).
maybe I should sue Pop Secret for that little film thing from the popcorn that, back when I was a kid, got stuck in my gums and caused the whole tooth to decay and fall out (I hate those things, they're one of the reasons I don't eat popcorn that much anymore. even trying to floss it out can sometimes dig it in deeper!)
