Toronto Cineplex apologizes for regional butter topping shortage
If you haven't been living under a rock, you'll know that movie theatres have seen a major comeback in the post-pandemic months, thanks in large part to blockbusters likeBarbieandOppenheimer.
And while there are definitelybetter (and worse) cinemasaround the city to take in your favourite flick, movie-goers were likely unprepared for a new and fresh problem: a butter topping shortage.

Let's be honest here — there are few things more satisfying than munching on some movie theatre popcorn, generously doused in "buttery topping," a sentiment that was shared by others lamenting its absence.
@CineplexMoviesCan you explain? At the Cineplex Beaches Toronto no med or lg bags for popcorn. No butter and no CANDY. KIND OF RUINS A BDAY DON”T YOU THINK????

Others shared that "buttery topping" was not the only concession good thatCineplexseemed to be missing.
They're also out of Coke zero

Others seemed to be taking the topping shortage in stride (and with a healthy dose of humour).
The buttertop trees just aren't well this year.

Why has the government not dipped into our Strategic Buttery Topping Reserve?

At the time of writing, Cineplex has not officially commented on the shortage, but here's hoping that the buttertop trees manage to continue producing everyone's favourite concession topping soon.
