Those who were given a larger bowl and serving utensil served themselves 53% ice cream then those who were given a small bowl and spoon. Chicagoan moviegoers were given free medium or large buckets of stale popcorn. Even though the popcorn was stale and they were not hungry, those who were given the large bucket were ate 51% more then those with the medium buckets.
