And this time, it\u2019s not trivia that has fans buzzing but rather his choice of snack.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"623\">On August 28, Ken shared a lighthearted Instagram post from a Seattle theater, where he sat smiling with a big tub of popcorn on his lap. But this wasn\u2019t ordinary popcorn. It was the theater\u2019s famous chocolate-drizzled popcorn, a sweet-and-salty treat that has locals raving.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"943\">Ken wrote that while many things in the world don\u2019t seem to be getting better, one thing has definitely improved. Seattle\u2019s historic Cinerama theater, which had been closed since 2020, was saved and reopened by SIFF in 2023. That meant the return of its legendary chocolate popcorn, which he clearly couldn\u2019t resist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"945\" data-end=\"1175\">The theater, now called SIFF Cinema Downtown, is known not only for its giant 97-foot curved Cinerama screen but also for its signature snacks and local craft beer. Still, the chocolate popcorn stole the spotlight in Ken\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1426\">In the photos, Ken looked relaxed in a light blue button-down shirt with the top button undone, smiling as he showed off his snack. The second picture gave fans a close-up of the popcorn itself, with pieces glistening under a drizzle of chocolate.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1805\">Fans wasted no time reacting. Many admitted they were drooling over the treat. \u201cThat looks so good!!\u201d one wrote. Another added, \u201cGlad to see a theater reopening. The world feels heavy right now, so thanks for sharing something positive.\u201d Others who knew the popcorn\u2019s reputation were thrilled. \u201cYes!! So glad it\u2019s back. The chocolate popcorn is legendary,\u201d one fan commented.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1807\" data-end=\"1940\">Dozens more chimed in with the same reaction: \u201cYummy!\u201d \u201cThe mix is perfect\u2014sweet and salty together!\u201d \u201cThat popcorn looks amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"2083\">Ken may be known for testing contestants\u2019 knowledge on <em data-start=\"1997\" data-end=\"2008\">Jeopardy!<\/em>, but this time it was a simple tub of popcorn that had everyone talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken Jennings is making the most of the last days of summer before he heads back to host a brand\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":86801,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[22060],"class_list":["post-86800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-ken-jennings"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
