Why Does This “Dune” Popcorn Bucket Look Naughty?
Is our collective head in the gutter? Well, probably, yes. However, I don’t think this one is on us. Seriously, does this “Dune” popcorn bucket look naughty to you?
There’s something about it I just can’t put my finger in–on! I can’t put my finger on. Turns out, we’re not the only ones who see it!
Why Does This “Dune” Popcorn Bucket Look Naughty?
AMC Theatres has rolled out a special promotional popcorn bucket for “Dune: Part Two.” However, there’s just something suggestive about this bucket.
Check it out below and see for yourself. Does it look like anything familiar? Take a second and really soak it in.

So, it’s modeled to look like one of the monstrous sandworms from the planet Arrakis in the movie. Well, it also looks like something else. Safe to say it resembles the female genitalia.
We aren’t the only ones who have noticed this. It’s taken the internet by storm. Jokingly, many people are saying they feel the temptation to have sex with the bucket.
See some of the hilarious comments and commentary the internet has offered up below.

Getting some action through a popcorn bucket has been a staple of the movie-going experience for decades. The plan? Boost concession sales by offering a self-pleasure bucket so people who see movies alone can have fun too https://t.co/e4JCnHEcMb pic.twitter.com/N9iazDnLZB

I remember back in the old days when promotional buckets just had some images on them. Now, things are pretty different! Reaching your arm into this bucket of popcorn seems like it would come with risks. Are you ever going to see your hand again? And, what has my popcorn been sitting in?
Personally, I don’t find it very appetizing. There’s just too much going on and I’m confused by it. Well, that’s nothing new with stuff that looks like this, I suppose. Where…uh…where does my hand go? Am I doing this right? I would have never felt less confidence eating popcorn than I would eating it out of this bucket.
Additionally, it’s not the only product to come out recently that resembles private parts. Check out what the new Reese’s Pink Valentine’s Day Hearts look like. I don’t think that was the plan!
