Mice at the Old Mill Cinemas????

I love going to the movies!!! No really… I love the movies. So I was pretty freaked out when I received the famous “mouse feces in popcorn” e-mail. First I freaked out because my husband and I had literally gone to the movies the day before and had, of course, eaten gobs of popcorn. Then I freaked out because “holy !#*! what will we do if they shut the theatre down!” After all, it is just down the road from us.

Well, I have to admit after I took a few deep breaths and gave it some thought I found myself a little skeptical about the e-mail. It sounded like there was some truth to it… but like there was also a bit of exaggeration. My gut told me that some in house gossip and an unhappy employee might have mixed and created a tangent that was at least a little over done. Thus I decided to wait and find out what the Bulletin Reporter (who jumped right on the story) uncovered. Here is the link to what she wrote: “mice in the popcorn”.

I have to admit. I’m still a little grossed out. I’m disappointed that there is as much truth to it as there is, however, I do believe the now infamous e-mail was a bit over dramatic. The bottom line is that I’m still going to go to the movies at the Old Mill…but I won’t be eating the popcorn (it’s never been that good anyways).

I hope you will all take the time to read this report and then make your own decisions. Maybe we’ll all save a bit of money on our nights out to the movie now that we will think twice about buying the overpriced popcorn. Not much of a loss in my opinion.
