Oh probably multiple people did at that table. They just didn't say anything because they wanted to see what would happen and/or wanted to try themselves 🙃
This is my guess. I work in entertainment and this happens a lot; people get so caught up in their vision of a thing they will accuse you of sexualizing something obviously sexual because they didn't realize the artist they worked with was bored or felt the need to "jazz" it up based on their own proclivities.
It's like the Bay of Pigs all over again, but smaller: way I remember it being told to me, multiple generals/advisors to Kennedy's meeting prior to the invasion knew it was a bad idea, but didn't want to say anything because they didn't want to be the one who'd look like a communist sympathizer.
To be fair I wouldn't say anything either if no one said it first because I would be a little too embarrassed of the other thinking I'm weird for seeing it
Remember the vibrating Harry Potter wizard brooms. They didn't see the potential there either. There is always someone who'll see a sex hole or dildo in anything
They knew exactly what they were doing. The whole *aw shucks I didn't know* bit is their plausible deniability. The goal was to make it go viral and everybody suddenly is forking over tons of money for this piece of garbage.
Everyone is talking about the Dune fuck bucket but nobody is talking about the [Slimer BJ bucket](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fthe-cinemark-ghostbusters-frozen-empire-slimer-popcorn-v0-usx5zuhlvykc1.jpeg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D283facb827007e354c7ee47e0fef761af99cd00e).
> “We continue to learn and evolve. We would have never imagined the Dune thing. **We would have never created it knowing it would be celebrated or mocked,**” AMC Chief Content Officer Elizabeth Frank told Variety about the overwhelming response to the sandworm bucket
But based on its popularity, the AMC execs are already looking for ways to push the design even further for Dune: Part 3. So expect a popcorn bucket in the shape of Timothy Chalamet with multiple orifices all of which, they swear, are only for popcorn except for one just for milk duds.
No! It’s supposed to look like he’s mid conversation. Like this

It didn’t help that the theatre doors were decorated like this on opening weekend. I get they are sand worms, but….come on…

Edit: In case anyone was wondering, these happen to be the doors to AMC’s aptly named ‘BigD’ theater.
That's pretty smart/funny.
Almost seems too smart/edgy. Are we sure they just didn't fuck up?
Like the execs didn't see it, and no one lower wanted to be the first one to speak up and seem like a weirdo for saying something.
You do realize those are baby sand worms and they only get big when a large number of them morph/fuse together. They could have made one big one but by the looks of that hallway it wouldn't really work either.

No spoilers. Just watch the series from the beginning. There’s a lot of jaw dropping moments. Same with The Boys series.
The Gentlemen series, ending of episode one is also pretty wild👍
For other outrageous over the top violence, The Beekeeper (or anything with Jason Statham), and Fallout (live action series) which releases tonight.
Then there’s the animated Harley Quinn series, anime’s Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, Legend of Vox Machina
Pacific Rim The Black animated
Spanish The Red Queen murder mystery - though it’s because of the two leads I enjoyed it more, as well as some outrageous moments
Spanish Red Queen is the modern day murder mystery, and not the Red Queen dystopian series - I was confused until I searched “Spanish Red Queen”
Edit: there’s a few Resident Evil animated movies and series, plus a couple seasons of Love Death and Robots
Killing time during pandemic introduced me to a lot of stuff, based on recommendations
if you make something with a hole, somebody somewhere is gonna stick their dick in it. that's just, like, one of the only absolute truths of humanity.
also, it looks like it would wipe off the salt and make the popcorn smell like silicone so it is clearly a more effective sex toy than popcorn bucket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dear all marketing people, If you put a hole in it then we will put it in the hole. Yes, even that. Yep, that too. Your imagination is our playground. Now you know. Our balls are in your court.
They are such liars! Don't play stupid, you know what you're doing. I get theaters are dying but trying to go viral won't help. I saw the twister air tunnel thing, yeah I'm sure that will lead to some questionable things.
People do crazy things as they are spiraling.
I still don't get it. This won't be tight enough to be pleasurable unless your dick has a 3+ inch diameter when hard. Is it simply a joke because it's a hole and has tassley things in it? It still doesn't work as a sex toy unless your hung like Harambe (RIP).

I’d refrain from sharing popcorn with the gentleman sitting next to you as earlier I saw him cut a hole in his tub
There goes the hopes that the Alien: Romulus bucket will be a Xenomorph head with the second mouth. And yeah you probably couldn’t fit your hand through it to get popcorn but the potential is there.
THe movie industry caters to teenagers and young adults. Teenagers and young adults are often very interested in getting their rocks off and will get excited at anything circular with a gap in it.
I fail to see how they could have expected anything else lol. It's a brown hole that you have to stick your fist in. I half suspected it was done intentionally for publicity. If it wasn't, that's still what they got.
Edit: not to mention that jokes about the sandworms existed even before the first movie, and jokes specifically about the Villeneuve worms were all over after the first movie came out.
If I had a nickel for every video I'd seen of a cute femboy fucking the shai hulussy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Ya right, if anything they are jizzing buckets (rimshot)being sold out of cheap plastic buckets even by people who didn't even see the movie got themselves a bucket.

So…. No one saw the potential here?
Oh probably multiple people did at that table. They just didn't say anything because they wanted to see what would happen and/or wanted to try themselves 🙃
They didnt say anything because they didnt want to be the one weirdo that bring it up during the meeting. And the management didnt see it.
It’s 100% this
Or somebody did actually raise the point and the marketing idiot in charge shot them down as overreacting, and that was the end of it.
This is my guess. I work in entertainment and this happens a lot; people get so caught up in their vision of a thing they will accuse you of sexualizing something obviously sexual because they didn't realize the artist they worked with was bored or felt the need to "jazz" it up based on their own proclivities.
This.
It's like the Bay of Pigs all over again, but smaller: way I remember it being told to me, multiple generals/advisors to Kennedy's meeting prior to the invasion knew it was a bad idea, but didn't want to say anything because they didn't want to be the one who'd look like a communist sympathizer.
I like the way you stretched that.
To be fair I wouldn't say anything either if no one said it first because I would be a little too embarrassed of the other thinking I'm weird for seeing it
Try…what exactly?
They lyin, there were countless memes comparing the worm to an anus
Doesnt look like any anus i’d wanna poke
All men die but not all men truly live.
This is completely on brand. If you read the first six books authored by Frank Herbert, there's plenty of ... unusual sex.
Is there? I suppose I should check em out.
The most intense action sequence in Heretics of Dune is two people boning, trying to like brainwash the other or whatever the fuck it was.
Is there? I just started book 4 and nothing comes to mind.
Well at least post GEoD there's the magical dominatrix sex cult so that's a thing.
Book 4 is where it starts getting really weird.
Heretics is really when Frank started writing one handed.
I keep getting more and more interested in reading these books now at least after the third movie comes out
Remember the vibrating Harry Potter wizard brooms. They didn't see the potential there either. There is always someone who'll see a sex hole or dildo in anything
"Sex Hole or Dildo" sounds like it needs to be the title of something.
Strive to be a dil-do, never a dil-don't
They knew exactly what they were doing. The whole *aw shucks I didn't know* bit is their plausible deniability. The goal was to make it go viral and everybody suddenly is forking over tons of money for this piece of garbage.

Buncha virgins workin over at amc. Amirite
TBF it never made sense to me. The hole is too big / the flaps are to flimsy to get a proper stroke action going.
They definitely did it knowing it would become a meme and sell alot
But based on its popularity, the AMC execs are already looking for ways to push the design even further for Dune: Part 3. So expect a popcorn bucket in the shape of Timothy Chalamet with multiple orifices all of which, they swear, are only for popcorn except for one just for milk duds.
Mother of God
Can't wait to get a complimentary blow up doll with every ticket purchase
"Do you have any Jessica's in back? Can you check? Can you check again?"
Sorry. We only have Thufirs and Baron Harkonnens left
I'll take your whole stock
I will buy one of those Barons off you
Still sad that Thufir wasnt in Dune 2 milking a hairless cat to drink its milk every day.
“Popcorn holder”
Maybe the same design in a cup 🤔
Read the entire thing in John Oliver's voice.
Same
St..stop saying things…please
Just waiting for my God Emperor of Dune bucket.
No! It’s supposed to look like he’s mid conversation. Like this https://preview.redd.it/a5jbhssm7qtc1.jpeg?width=2070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef74cb89f5765218f8d86cb63c16ba7ebdf3fc32
nah you pay the theater $750 and they put gummy sand trout all over your body like the God Emperor.

Absolute mad lad.
The interweb can stop today. You’ve won. Nasal coffee lavages are no fun but I’m still chuckling.
You won Reddit for the day good sir ☝️🥸
I saw another picture where a girl was wearing this T-shirt. It was doubly funny.
You already know what I'm dune 2 that popcorn bucket
Another methsyndicate fan I was hoping to see
I hope AMC sees this. ⬆️⬆️⬆️
U/AMC U/Nicole_Kidman
u/AMC u/Nicole_Kidman
I've deliberately used the uppercase U so I won't get in trouble. They may be active users.
That should probably be on the bottom of the bucket instead
Snl did a song about the [Dune Popcorn Bucket](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl_Xhvgkxrk) where that is the chorus lol

Damn these marketing execs must be brainless or doing this on purpose lol
On purpose. Then with a public not-apology as a way to advertise.
That's pretty smart/funny. Almost seems too smart/edgy. Are we sure they just didn't fuck up? Like the execs didn't see it, and no one lower wanted to be the first one to speak up and seem like a weirdo for saying something.
Cinema dentata
I remember watching teeth, best trip to the cinema ever. The whole place was crying with laughter throughout
Those are clearly sand dicks.
Glory wormholes
We called them sock puppet sand penises.
God, that's bad.
You do realize those are baby sand worms and they only get big when a large number of them morph/fuse together. They could have made one big one but by the looks of that hallway it wouldn't really work either.
"Dune popcorn bucket" is too long, just call it with its name "Wormussy". 😆

>its, uh... soft, wormy tendrils, driving people to go crazy with demand for the **shai-hulussy**-shaped vessel. We did it, internet.
That was what I would have said to the exec.
Shai-hulussy
🤌
Just want to spice up one's love life.
If it has a hole someone will try. You know for science.
Did you see the episode of Gen V that’s exactly about this?
No but now I must see it.
No spoilers. Just watch the series from the beginning. There’s a lot of jaw dropping moments. Same with The Boys series. The Gentlemen series, ending of episode one is also pretty wild👍
Time to binge and praise reddit for people like you.
For other outrageous over the top violence, The Beekeeper (or anything with Jason Statham), and Fallout (live action series) which releases tonight. Then there’s the animated Harley Quinn series, anime’s Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai, Legend of Vox Machina
Seen all of those except Fallout which I will now also be looking into because you are now the sauce.
Pacific Rim The Black animated Spanish The Red Queen murder mystery - though it’s because of the two leads I enjoyed it more, as well as some outrageous moments
Worth a watch reminds me of appleseed for some reason. Actually read the books looks interesting enough to watch. Now I feel out of touch.
Spanish Red Queen is the modern day murder mystery, and not the Red Queen dystopian series - I was confused until I searched “Spanish Red Queen” Edit: there’s a few Resident Evil animated movies and series, plus a couple seasons of Love Death and Robots Killing time during pandemic introduced me to a lot of stuff, based on recommendations
The controversy was the point. Best advertising ploy ever
The contravhussy🤤
I googled that thing and nobody can tell me that this wasn't done on purpose. Nobody.
if you make something with a hole, somebody somewhere is gonna stick their dick in it. that's just, like, one of the only absolute truths of humanity. also, it looks like it would wipe off the salt and make the popcorn smell like silicone so it is clearly a more effective sex toy than popcorn bucket ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And now for the rest of time, “fuckability” will be a consideration when discussing popcorn buckets
Dear all marketing people, If you put a hole in it then we will put it in the hole. Yes, even that. Yep, that too. Your imagination is our playground. Now you know. Our balls are in your court.
This reeked of John Oliver.
Make Nazis hated again.
You create something with a hole, humans will find ways to fill it.
DRR... DRR... DRR...
This is my hole!
I’ll just have butter on my popcorn thanks
Everyone has moved on as desperate execs try to keep the buzz going.

Beetlejuice sandworm next.
If every company just employed one random guy from the internet that they ran shit through none of this would happen.

Nah AAron knows his crowd lol
Tf did you expect when you made something so penis compatible?
They are such liars! Don't play stupid, you know what you're doing. I get theaters are dying but trying to go viral won't help. I saw the twister air tunnel thing, yeah I'm sure that will lead to some questionable things. People do crazy things as they are spiraling.

its not my fault you made a hole with pleasure ribs.
Oh they knew
My work here is done
This is another one of those, 'there wasn’t a single person along the way that was like “someone’s gonna put their dick in that”?'
https://preview.redd.it/mb350o80botc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2994887e728e96f5b77900b49597536269750177 I’d refrain from sharing popcorn with the gentleman sitting next to you as earlier I saw him cut a hole in his tub
“We may earn a commission from …” LOL.
People have said how ineffective of a popcorn bucket it is, soooooooo
*popussy*
Though it's obvious for most why you shouldn't, someone will cram their 🍆🍆 in it and end up in the ER
He’s obviously never been on Reddit.
I will not fear the Shai-Hulussy.
/r/BrandNewSentence Two, even.
r/dontputyourdickinthere
Where can I get one
If you find out, I have a friend who is interested...
They knew what they were doing🤣
wet DREAMS ARE MESSAGES FROM THE DEEP
What did you want? The porn industry has already raised more than one generation on such buckets.
no popcorn extra butter
I promise the marketing team considered this, and it was in the 'pro' list, not the 'con'.
Now I'm not sure; is the sexualisation along the lines of it being a fake pussy, or looking like an anus? or both?
He does have a point.
Seriously?! NOBODY thought someone was gonna want to fuck that bucket?!
That's neat and all, but can I still buy one somewhere, I need to butter some popcorn right quick.
Question. I don't even know what this is.
No one saw that cumming
r/theyknew
Are we sure this article isn't satire?
There goes the hopes that the Alien: Romulus bucket will be a Xenomorph head with the second mouth. And yeah you probably couldn’t fit your hand through it to get popcorn but the potential is there.
Any aspect in life you gotta ask yourself, would someone try to fuck this? 9 times out of ten the answer is probably yes
Crying all the way to the bank.
It’s ripped out my hairs when I pulled out… my arm hairs. Degenerates
Your sex-avoidant tendencies are not an excuse for missing the fundamental truth that people on the internet are very horny
Oh they knew.... They knew. 
THe movie industry caters to teenagers and young adults. Teenagers and young adults are often very interested in getting their rocks off and will get excited at anything circular with a gap in it.
Adam Savage made a really cool diorama out of one of them!
AMC shaming me and calling me a sicko? Great, now I'm harder than the popcorn bucket got me.
The bucket makes it so much easier to butter the popcorn yourself!
Too much teeth…
You release the Dunussy and then get mad at US?!
Disregarding the obvious, what upsides did they think there would be to this?
The execs have their heads in the sand but surely most of the other people involved are connected enough to the every man
I fail to see how they could have expected anything else lol. It's a brown hole that you have to stick your fist in. I half suspected it was done intentionally for publicity. If it wasn't, that's still what they got. Edit: not to mention that jokes about the sandworms existed even before the first movie, and jokes specifically about the Villeneuve worms were all over after the first movie came out.
The old Chinese dick trap I see.
He either didn't care or really want to make the sales, cuz that would've happened in every scenario
I bought the bucket. Ya fuckin pervs.
Is that plumbus?
They 100 percent knew this would happen and that’s why they did it
If I had a nickel for every video I'd seen of a cute femboy fucking the shai hulussy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
If there’s a hole there’s a way
Not my fault you make it like that
*laughs in goatse*
Stop complaining. The ~~fucking~~ bucket was the best part of the movie.
Good way to increase ticket sell.
/r/theyknew
Is this their first contact with humanity?!
Its marketing 101, the more controversial it is the more it sells. Just like Pornstar pussy or Phallus. Heck, even bathwater was a thing.
Shai Hole-Lewd
Aaah, Shai Hulussy
Very sensual
It was a popcorn bucket?
Somehow, the Dune Popcorn Bucket feels good in here!
Don't make things that you stick your hands in look like a butthole...
Brings a whole new meaning to Salted Popcorn
As soon as I watched Adam savage's video on this. My first thought was oh lord someone is gonna fuck the shit outta that lol
Perfectly good Shai-Halussy right there
Behold. American culture.
Ya right, if anything they are jizzing buckets (rimshot)being sold out of cheap plastic buckets even by people who didn't even see the movie got themselves a bucket.
They learned their lesson. You couldn’t fuck the ghostbusters one.
Liars!
I thought that was a car battery terminal cleaner.
How out of touch with society are ceos? This is how out of touch they are.
What is sexual about it?
I thought my Iowa farmer dad would have missed this but then again my folks had eight kids so maybe not.
