Merchandise My Fiancé doesn't like that I bought this Red Hulk popcorn bucket. Help me find some creative uses for it!

Post image

It's no Dune bucket, but it's gotta have some sort of use (beyond popcorn)

Great idea.

u/lastersoftheuniverse 6d ago

Yes! A dancing Groot! She will regret not liking that purchase for SURE after that

u/shiromancer Hogun 6d ago

Or she'll be so mad at the Groot purchase she'll forget all about the popcorn bucket! Win win.

Gotta keep stacking! Groot better be blinged out!

You could probably plant anything in there, doesn't have to be pot.

If you drill some holes at the bottom. Any plant pot without a drainage hole will kill your plant eventually

This is what I did with our dune 2 popcorn bucket. Now holds a "Mother of Thousands" plant. My wife was ok with it for a while, but now it lives on my office shelf at work.

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

u/VelocityGrrl39 Captain Marvel 6d ago

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

u/blokedog 7d ago

That is clearly meant to be a communal candy bowl.

u/SolomonsNewGrundle 7d ago

I like that idea

u/blokedog 7d ago edited 7d ago

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.

Then modify that hulk to look like green hulk.

u/Brometheous17 7d ago

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.

Start filling it with all your pocket change. It adds up way quicker than you think

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.

u/Krash32 7d ago

You can serve her your eventual divorce papers in it because the kind of person that cares about a gd bucket sounds like a nightmare

u/Sparrowsabre7 Iron Man (Mark VII) 7d ago

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

12

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. 

6

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.

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.
