‘Jeopardy!’ Fans React to Ken Jennings’ Odd Snack Choice
Ken Jennings is soaking up the last days of summer before Jeopardy! returns for a new season. And with that, he enjoyed a rather odd snack that surprisingly had fans drooling.
“Lots of things are not obviously getting better, but Seattle’s legendary Cinerama theater was closed from 2020 to 2023 and @siffnews saved it, and it’s nice to have the chocolate popcorn back,” the game show host captioned the Instagram post on August 28.
The theater Jennings attended was mostly like the SIFF Cinema Downtown in Seattle, Washington. The cinema highlights their chocolate popcorn as one of their signature snacks, along with local craft beer. It features a Cinerama screen, which is a 97-foot curved screen made of 2,000 vertical strips.
Ken Jennings then shared a photo of himself smiling in the theater with the snack on his lap. He wore a light blue button-down shirt with the first button open.
The second photo in the post showed off the popcorn, which had some pieces drizzled in chocolate. The perfect mix of sweet and salty.
Although some fans wanted to know what movie he was seeing, others drooled over his unique snack choice. “The popcorn looks fabulous,” one fan said.
“That looks so good!! Glad to see a theater reopening. The world sucks right now, so I’m so glad you posted something actually positive,” another wrote.

“The mix is the way to go—you get the perfect salty-sweet combo!” another said.
“Yummy!” many commented.

We buy Moose Munch around Christmas each year. It’s caramel corn with chocolate and nuts. Ken likes plain popcorn with chocolate - muuuccchhhh healthier! 😂

But, but...he had the first button of his shirt opened. I found myself giddy at this fact. How can you not find that behavior life-changingly fascinating? 🤣

It does look tasty and everyone should know the Scouts sell Popcorn in the fall as a fundraiser and have one with chocolate that is really good. Support Scouting.

Scout popcorn is the BOMB!! Even better than Orville's. It's expensive but...it's also the BESTEST. AND it supports Scouts of America.

That reminds me, there was a brand in stores that sold popcorn with a black and white fudge drizzle that is amazing.

I always eat a Hershey bar with my movie popcorn. I will say more than 50 years!

Popcorn and Milk Duds…best combo ever

That sounds really good. They have something similar at Disneyland at the Magic Kingdom. You can get popcorn with chocolate caramel butterscotch on top of the popcorn and then you can have candy inside it too like M&M Snickers, Twix, and other traits so this is fairly mild compared to what Disney is offering.

We always throw in a handful of m&m’s while the popcorn is hot! It’s delicious!

Wonder how you get the chocolate drizzled on it?

Looks good. My theater only has regular popcorn but I find mixing in A box of snow caps while the popcorn is still warm is not bad.

Been eating popcorn with peanut m&ms for over 40 years. The best.
