‘Popcorn Guy’ goes viral on TikTok for his popcorn serving skills

You can’t watch a movie at the theater without a big bowl of salty, buttery popcorn. But there is a technique for getting the perfect ratio of butter to popcorn, and a Texas movie theater worker perfected it.

Jason Grosboll may be the first person to go viral for his popcorn serving skills. In a recent TikTok, he is seen gracefully scooping up popcorn, mixing it with butter, and turning the bucket around with his fingertips. He’s so good that his name tag says “Popcorn Guy.”

The video has garnered so much attention that Popcorn Guy, who said he’s been doing this for about 10 years, even appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to demonstrate his technique.

First, fill a bucket halfway with popcorn. Then drizzle some butter. He then gives it a spin to mix it up before repeating this three more times to fill the bucket. Kimmel even invited him to show off his skills at the Oscars.

There are already over 21,000 comments on the original TikTok, with one user writing “forget Salt Bae, we’ve got Butter King.”

Bless you, Popcorn Guy. We can’t wait to see you at the Oscars.
