My family and I went to the movies yesterday and watched I am Legend.. It's a good movie and I really liked it. My sister and I shared a big bag of popcorn but I ate most of it, I really like cheese popcorn:) We didn't finish the popcorn and brought it home, last night I ate it again and finished it. It's only 1/4 anyway so I already ate all.
thing is, the cheese sticks to fingers and makes them kinda yellow orange, right? I've already washed with soap, but there's still some left.. It's hard to remove them, do you know how to easily remove them? Have you experienced this yet?

why is it bad for your stomach if you eat too much popcorn?

I love popcorn especially those that we pop at home. I really don't eat that much popcorn sold at the theaters because they are really expensive. I frequently buy the microwavable ones and we pop them at home.
To help you with your other problem, you can use water, soap and lemon/lime. Wash your hands with water and soap then rub your fingers with lemon or lime until the color is gone. Then again, wash it with water. After that use hand moisturizer or lotion. I hope that trick works...

Cheese popcorn?
My wife mentioned that america have a lot of different types of popcorn, sadly ours are boring and normally only have "salted" or "regular" which is without I guess but I love toffee! just nowhere does it and I normally end up taking my own but shush.. hehe I shouldn't :P
I've experienced similar things with other food products, like cheese watsits and I just lick my fingers and then go wash my hands.

That movie is awesome and sad as well! One of our friends had it on DVD - great quality too! My sister couldn't stop jumping and covering her face due to the suspense moments. Too bad Robert's (Will Smith) dog had to get infected and then die. We happened to have popcorn earlier too.

Yeah I had that happen to me before. The hot oil used in popping the kernels mixed with the cheese make it run together and harden when cold. So since it was cold when you ate it again you have the cheese stuck to you. I would recommend taking a bath, and letting your hands soak in the water with some soap and other chemicals from the shampoo and such, it should come right out!

like you I enjoy eating popcorn. And what happened to you often happens to me lol as I also love cheese flavor for my popcorn. Removing hand stains after eating cheese flavor popcorn really is hard and washing your hands once really isn't enough. There was even a time when I had to use bleach as I had to go on a date just an hour after eating my cheese popcorn. It worked for me, and I suggest you try it. Just put a little in a basin add a deeper of water. Not too much though or you'll dry your hands. Then put on a hand moisturizer. That will do the trick... Good luck!!!

i like popcorn the most when i'm alone or somtimes with somebody watching movies in front of our own television or inside of the theater. my favorite flavor is butter. the combination of butter and salt is just the right taste for my mouth when i feel hungry. the smell of popcorn makes me full and forget hunger.

That I AM Legend sounds something like the Omega Man. I do not like popcorn and soap and water works for me, but you could try dishwasher detergent, no not the kind that goes into the dishwasher, the kind like Palmolive. That might work.

mmm theatre popcorn is so so good. I would imagine the cheese coloring is much like what is left on the fingers after eating cheese doodles, right?
man my kids can become a mess with those - and then everything they touch before making it to the sink.
I think rubbing it off with a rough towel works best.

Well, I'm not much on cheese popcorn!
When I go to the movies, I have to have a lots of butter popcorn, a coke, a hotdog, and a pickle!

haha i like popcorn. when i was younger, there was only sweet popcorn and no salty popcorn. i found the idea of salty popcorn really strange.
but i'm sure cheese popcorn is yummy. a little like cheese nachos perhaps. I guess some lemon juice left on your hands might help to remove it. or rub some salt on your hands - salt is supposed to take stains off chopping boards. all the best!

It's pretty hard to get rid of those stains. I think you may just have to put up with it till it wears off. I'm sorry I don't know of any qucik fix for you. i love popcorn also, but I usually only eat the plain buttered kind. I love it especially at the theatre. It always tastes so much better than at home. At home I only make popcorn the old fashion way, in a pot on the stove. I don't like the kind you make in the microwave.

i personally dont eat popcorn.. the smell disturbs me to no end.. however i have had cheesey fingers before and i think my tongue works best at getting it all off.. stains dont tend to last long on my hands though anyways cuz i work in a factory and we have industrial strength gritty soap that could take the black off shaq so ya maybe you should try some industrial stuff :)
