One minute it\u2019s Ghostface bursting through a door, the next it\u2019s a chic red <em data-node-id=\"0.2.1\">The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em>-inspired handbag, and somehow we\u2019re all just supposed to nod and keep moving. Still, I have to admit: the idea of reaching into Shrek\u2019s outhouse for popcorn is a new one. Have I always dreamed of shoving my hand into Shrek\u2019s toilet? I cannot say that I had. But here we are.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">AMC is marking the 25th anniversary of Shrek with a new collectible popcorn bucket shaped like the ogre\u2019s beloved little swamp-side bathroom, officially called The Outhouse Popcorn Collectible.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The bucket was announced by AMC on Instagram and will go on sale May 1, while supplies last. It comes with a large popcorn and, crucially, includes a detachable Shrek figure, because apparently this whole thing wasn\u2019t deranged enough without a tiny ogre perched on it.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The front opens, the top opens, and the whole thing is built to let you snack without dumping popcorn everywhere while you dig around in a miniature latrine.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">An AMC spokesperson <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/amc-theatres-reveals-new-shrek-themed-popcorn-bucket-11959655\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/people.com\/amc-theatres-reveals-new-shrek-themed-popcorn-bucket-11959655\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"told PEOPLE\" data-node-id=\"6.1\" class=\"body-link css-8bav6j emevuu60\">told <em data-node-id=\"6.1.1\">PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>that the chain has seen major enthusiasm around its collectible buckets, and framed the Shrek outhouse as a nostalgic way to celebrate a movie that people still really love 25 years later. Which is fair. People are obsessed with this franchise and with weird movie merch. Put those two things together and you get this deeply cursed little shed.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The bucket will be available in connection with AMC\u2019s <em data-node-id=\"7.1\">Shrek<\/em> screenings, and the movie is set to play in theaters across hundreds of locations in mid-May. For the Shrek fan who has stayed loyal to the big green guy all these years, this one feels pretty ogre-due.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-24\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside data-nitrous-content-id=\"recirculation_unit_more_food_news\" class=\"css-u95ltk e94w1mj3\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 min read AMC is releasing a Shrek popcorn bucket shaped like the ogre\u2019s outhouse.
