Transformers One It is finally projected onto the 2024 film calendar and has been well received by critics and audiences alike, though it had a rough opening weekend facing Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The animated one Transformers The film is also one of the highest-grossing releases to receive the popcorn bucket treatment, though it's obviously not NSFW like the Dune: Part Two and Deadpool and Wolverine (the first happens unintentionally) since it is a film aimed at families. The downside, however, is that a viral TikTok video has shown a huge failure with the Transformers One popcorn bucket that would, frankly, ruin the movie if you were eating out of it.
As demonstrated by @enelloteThere's a major flaw in the design of Bumblebee's head that can cause liquids to leak through the cracks if there's too much inside. Now, you might think this is a problem since it's meant to eat popcorn, but the TikTok user saw how the movie theater employee put “too much” butter inside, which soon caused problems:

What a mess! I'm already not a big fan of getting butter on popcorn at the movies because I don't like getting it on my fingers, and since it's harder to go to the bathroom to wash your hands when watching a movie on the big screen, I end up having to grab a bunch of napkins to clean my hands properly. However, this TikTok video takes things to an even more uncomfortable level for me.
If I had been the one given this ration of popcorn in Bumblebee’s bucket, I would have promptly thrown the popcorn out, regardless of what I paid for it or whether I was hungry. Neither of those things are worth not only having to dip my fingers in butter, but also having to deal with the leak. Honestly, part of me would be tempted to throw out the bucket as well, though I would probably end up cleaning it as much as possible and then going to the bathroom to wash and dry it as efficiently as possible before the trailers finished playing. That way, I could still use the bucket at home, where I can decide how much butter I want to put in it.
However, this experience would be a big deterrent for me… Transformers One Viewing experience. I wouldn't go so far as to walk out of the theater and not enjoy the cinematic experience, but the thought of having that much butter on my fingers wouldn't be far from my mind. Again, this was a case of overuse of butter, but popcorn bucket manufacturers should take note of this design flaw and ensure it's not repeated in the future.
Well, now that I finished my speech on the Transformers One Popcorn time is over. I remind fans of Robots in Disguise or those just looking for some good family entertainment to check out the film while it’s still in theaters. You can also count on it eventually being available to stream with a Paramount+ subscription.
