See USA TODAY try new Bubly ‘Super Mario’ flavors
Bubly’s new cans feature “Super Mario” universe characters and new flavors like “Meteor Melon,” “Cosmic Swirl” and “Dragonfruit Stardust.”
A teeny tiny popcorn bucket, made with a miniature Bowser in mind, just made history.
The recordholder for “World’s Smallest Popcorn Container,” according to Guinness World Records, is a snack container inspired by a tiny cauldron featured in the upcoming “Super Mario Galaxy Movie”.
Dubbed a “faithful replica” of Bowser’s tiny cauldron, the concession accessory serves as a “playful homage” to the new film, opening in theaters April 1.
Measuring 2.6 inches at its widest point, the tiny cauldron can hold anywhere between five and 11 kernels of popcorn, making it the “smallest functional popcorn vessel on record,” according to Guinness.
In recent years, movie theaters have garnered attention for their wacky popcorn buckets, including the sandworm-like bucket for “Dune Part Two,” disappearing illusion box for “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” and a baby sling carrier for “Despicable Me 4,” worn on the front of the chest.
“The miniature cauldron represents the latest example of the growing role of theatrical collectibles in creating immersive cinema experiences, giving audiences a unique way to celebrate the worlds and characters they love long after the credits roll,” Illumination, Nintendo and Universal Products & Experiences said in a joint statement.
Here’s where to get the “World’s Smallest Popcorn Container”.
Where to get ‘world’s smallest popcorn bucket’
The “world’s smallest popcorn container” goes on sale Wednesday, April 1, at participating cinemas, including AMC Theatres.
Per Illumination, Nintendo and Universal Products & Experiences, the collectible popcorn cauldron transforms the story element from the 2023 film “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” into a piece of theatrical memorabilia for fans.
Yoshi and Luma popcorn buckets will be released alongside Bowser’s tiny cauldrons on April 1 to celebrate the release of the new film.
Other “Super Mario Galaxy Movie” merchandise, including limited-edition plushes, action figures, clothing and shower products, is already available at select retailers nationwide.
