Origin Story: Movie Night
Movie Night was the result of our sales director being stuck on a plane, starving, with no snacks in sight. She was craving a salty, sweet, crunchy snack when she remembered how she used to pour Milk Duds into her popcorn at the movies as a kid. The recipe pretty much wrote itself from there.
With streaming services taking Friday nights from the movie theater to the couch, we realized that bringing movie snacks to our own freezers was the next logical step. Movie nights at home are more relaxed (tickets won’t sell out), cozier (PJs encouraged), and more wallet-friendly (did you know a movie ticket in NYC costs $18!?).
Some may be skeptical of popcorn flavored ice cream, but trust us when we say that Movie Night is the most popular of our new flavors in the Enlightened offices by far.
You’ve got the story, now get the pint.

Wow! Sounds like an AMAZING combination. For some reason I was confused about the movie night ice cream flavor. Now that I’ve read the description, I am so excited. The downside of living in the middle of nowhere is that we DON’T get any of the new exciting flavors. Maybe I’ll get to try it in a few years! 🙁

We’re so excited that you’re excited! You never know where these new flavors will pop up 🙂 Definitely check out store locator (https://www.eatenlightened.com/pages/store-locator-new) over the coming weeks to see if the new flavors show up near you!

I’ve been looking. Unfortunately I can’t find it at any stores … Darn. I guess I need a road trip.

Aww bummer there’s chocolate? Was just hoping for popcorn flavored. Seems like everything is ruined with chocolate.

It’s great that you have all these new flavors but we’ve trouble finding current flavors in the stores in the Wilkes-Barre area, Pennsylvania, as it stands. They carry the same flavors over and over……why is this??

Hi Marcia! You can encourage your local stores to carry more of the flavors you want by using our product request form. Linked below is the current form, but it will be updated with new flavors in the coming weeks!
