You're a sweet and generous soul. Popcorn is my very favorite food.

Oh, no thank you. I'll stick with water. I don't much care for
carbonated or sweet drinks, except occasionally for a change, and I
just cannot stand the taste of alcohol at all.

You're giving me caviar and popcorn? I owe you a very very nice
dinner when you someday end up in Berkeley. :-)

When my sister was pregnant, she could not stand the smell or taste of
popcorn or coffee -- it couldn't be made in the same house or she
would spend the day in agony. Strangely, she practically lived on my
tacos -- both beef-and-potato and garlicky bean tacos. I must have
made those things every day for about six months.
