    Won’t include Warrnambool as they never participate in Village promotions

      The way that I read it is that the base of the container needs to be smaller than 50cm x 50cm. So could bring a box that is 50cm x 50cm but can be 2m tall

          I'm not a village rep though, so don't hold me to that. And wouldn't be surprised if they reject something too big as being "unreasonable" 😂

      • smokenmirraz on 15/01/2024 - 20:25

        but can be 2m tall

        I like your thinking

        If you manage to get a 50cm x 50cm x 50cm tub that they'll accept, and assuming a density 0.03 g/cm³ for popped popcorn (lower-end estimate, likely denser after butter), that box would hold 3.75kg of popcorn. Make that box 2m tall and you'll be lifting 15kg of popcorn. Please post pics.

          Oh lol. Poor from them to not mention the height restrictions either. They also put in their Facebook at "bring the washing basket", which I think you'd find very difficult to fit in 50cm x 50cm x 50cm

          • PainToad on 16/01/2024 - 08:05

            @nicholasv:

            "bring the washing basket", which I think you'd find very difficult to fit in 50cm x 50cm x 50cm

            Marketing teams don't normally think things through.

          • cski on 16/01/2024 - 13:17

            @nicholasv: my washing basket is < 50 x50

            eg like these wicker woven things are more than adequate for a trip to the machine in the house.

              • cski on 16/01/2024 - 14:15

                @nicholasv: technically it will fail the food safe requirement, because edible panties dont tend to be suitable for the laundry basket

      • PainToad on 15/01/2024 - 21:35

        If you read the terms and conditions it actually has height too

        Vessel must be under 50cm Long x 50cm Wide x 50cm Height.

        Pretty BS of them to slip the height into the T&Cs but not mention it in the blurb.

        Edit: beaten by 52s

        • Balthraka on 15/01/2024 - 21:50

          I'm 99% sure they added that in the last hour.

          When I first saw this post I went in to look at the Ts and Cs coz the lack of height intrigued and surprised me.
          I swear when I read them there was still no height listed as I came away satisfied there just was no height limit.

            @Balthraka: I'm sure this promotion went through so many 'planning sessions', meetings and other marketing BS, but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't until it went live did someone realises the massive whole in their T&Cs.

    Dumb question: Why don't they do other flavours like Garrett Popcorn.

      Am i the only one that sneaks a 3 course dinner in movies?

      • PainToad on 16/01/2024 - 10:31

        I watch movies in the comfort of my own house, without having to spend 2 hours sitting next to someone who has god knows what diseases and no need to “sneak” food.

        I seriously don’t get why anyone would still go to the movies.

        • Mickice on 16/01/2024 - 13:13

          I'm the same to be honest, I don't even have a brand name tv, just a colour calibrated EKO from Big W. Best of all you can pair some decent bluetooth headphones and hear all the words and all the low end.

          • krisspy on 16/01/2024 - 14:28

            @Mickice: Yeah you lost me at 2 channel audio with "low end"

  • woodyagw on 15/01/2024 - 23:48

    Garbage bag. Will easily fit when empty. Might not pass the food safe criteria though…..

  • Dragoose on 16/01/2024 - 00:02

    Bunnings has a 52l box for 2.50 thats easily in the size required but the must be food safe clause may stop it since cardboard cant really be cleaned so they may us it as a argument.

    Still trying to find something similar in plastic thats cheap

    Edit: the Ezy Storage 42L square may work as it in size and plastic instead of cardboard for under $5

      Don't they normally serve popcorn in cardboard?
      So surely as long as it's new cardboard it should be ok

  • shmahoo on 17/01/2024 - 12:48

    can people please post photos of popcorn hauls if successful this Friday?
