 If
you're like most people (sadly), you may have indulged a bit in movie theater
cuisine (okay, maybe not "cuisine" so much as "nicely packaged gut bombs").
Buttered popcorn, nachos, pizza . . . You can do some serious damage before
you've even traveled back to 1986 in a hot tub or seen some serious Titan
clashing. These calorie counts can be even more entertaining - or scarier,
really - than anything on the screen. Each treat shows its calorie count,
ranking from highest to lowest calorie count.
