Merchandise My Fiancé doesn't like that I bought this Red Hulk popcorn bucket. Help me find some creative uses for it!
It's no Dune bucket, but it's gotta have some sort of use (beyond popcorn)

Ohhhh because hulk smash.... I thought it was just about keys and a bowl 😂

Yeah it’s a key party… you should google it.

Commenting on Reddit is a gamble. If the first person hates it and gives you a downvote everyone else tends to pile on.

I try to uplift those comments. Usually a “I don’t know why everyone is downvoting you, you’re right” will turn the tide.

Fill it with Jolly Ranchers, Werther's or Starburst or all together (something in a wrapper), and leave it somewhere inviting. If there are no-takers, maybe consider getting rid of it, or plant a spider plant in it. That would look cool.

I mean if the fiance doesn't support your hobbies and passions normally the advice would be to get a new one. Oh- you meant the popcorn thin- I see now. It could be a nice catch-all I suppose.

She doesn’t have to like your stupid shit that you have just cuz you think it’s fun, just like you don’t have to like her stupid shit that she thinks is fun.
It’s ok to have and enjoy things that your partner doesn’t love. Your home doesn’t have to/shouldn’t look like a crate and barrel ad.

Use it for a Halloween Trick or Treat bucket you sit outside, but become known as the house that only has Cherry flavored Starburst in a Red Hulk bucket, by putting ONLY said candy in the bucket each year.

What does he not like about it? Was it too expensive or just doesn't like the design?

u/Shedart The Mandarin 7d ago
Probably that it’s cheap plastic gimmick-ware that’s poorly themed. It’s a red hulk figure holding onto a giant inverted dome of some description that didn’t appear in the movie. It’s generic, uninspired, and designed to trick people into paying for overpriced popcorn.

u/TomClancy5873 7d ago
Ok, so? I hate when people try to gate keep what others can buy with their money
3
u/Shedart The Mandarin 7d ago
I’m not gatekeeping anyone because gatekeeping is when somebody in a group tries to exclude others from entering that group (like a guard at the gate/entrance).
OP asked what the spouse didn’t like, I gave examples. People can buy whatever they want. But I can judge them for what I perceive as poor purchasing decisions if I want, and it feels appropriate when explicitly asked for reasoning in a thread about the merits of buying this sort of Jimcrackery.

Seems a bit more practical than the Zombie Headpool popcorn bowl that I got at Deadpool & Wolverine, which just sits on the shelf now.

Have to be married to get divorced. Being that OP is only engaged, it would be a simple matter of breaking off the engagement.

Every day fill this with bits of paper containing truthful honest messages of love. And if she wants to read them she has to take them out of the popcorn bucket.
she’ll ultimately soften her feelings for the vessel which brings her nurturing words daily

Buy a cheap Millennium Falcon toy, smash it, then put it in the middle of the bowl. He got so angry at his beloved ship being destroyed that he created a crossover event.

I had a buddy drill two holes in the bottom for drainage and it's perfect.

Dremel off the bottom half of the bucket, being careful not to cult Rulk, and mount the top half of this bucket to the "topper" of the Wolverine fuck-bucket.
