There were many things that the Jews were banned from. But I am only going to name 4 things that Jews are banned from on the Sabbath. 1. Banned from riding in a car. 2. Banned from the movie theaters. 3. Banned from riding a bike. 4. Banned from going to a Dutch school.
The popcorn they make in movie theaters usually contains a lot of salt and is cooked in plenty of oil due to the large batches that they are cooked in.

Smaller home theater popcorn machines start at about $60.00; the larger industrial ones that are at movie theaters start at about $3,000.00. Home air poppers are more affordable with most of them starting in the $15.00 range.
