There are those who believe that the American Age has passed--that the people of this city upon a hill have lost the aspirational character that led us to travel to the Moon and invent the Twinkie. Perhaps this blackpilling was once accurate, but we are now in a renaissance of innovation centered around designing popcorn buckets.
We first had hopes for the revival of the innovative spirit when the Dune 2 popcorn bucket presented the world an orifice of joy. Now we may find our aspirations confirmed with the preview of the Gladiator 2 popcorn bucket. Deadline reports that it resembles the Colosseum of Rome. At the bottom of the bucket is a QR code that triggers a virtual gladiatorial fight.
