The flavor of the popcorn was lost on him. He continued
to shovel it into his mouth anyway. His girlfriend convinced him to see this
stupid scary movie. He forgot how.
He had been able to taste the popcorn at first; it wasn’t
very flavorful. The butter gave it a rich, sickly taste that made his stomach churn
a little. Now his stomach was churning for another reason; the movie was scary.
He ate the popcorn mechanically, frantically, hoping the
tasteless fare would distract him long enough for the movie to end. He went on
shoveling, chewing, and not tasting.
