If you\u2019re at a Regal Cinemas in June and hear someone scream \u201cI have the power!\u201d at the top of their lungs, don\u2019t get scared. They\u2019re just thirsty.<\/p>\n

The major cinema chain recently revealed its line of popcorn buckets for the upcoming Masters of the Universe,<\/em> and while you can snack out of Castle Grayskull or Skeletor\u2019s Throne, our favorite is the Power Sword. \u201cHow do you eat popcorn out of a sword?\u201d you ask. Is it small, and do you use it like a fork? No. The Power Sword is no mere popcorn bucket. It\u2019s a \u201cdrink vessel.\u201d Here\u2019s a photo.<\/p>\n

Now, to be clear, it\u2019s not immediately obvious how this works. Are you supposed to fill the Power Sword with a beverage? Will the Regal employee do that for you? As you see above, it says it comes with a large drink, so maybe you just\u2026 get a sword with a drink? Or maybe the drink goes into the bottom half, and you take off the blade? Here\u2019s the answer.<\/p>\n

And while we\u2019re sure Masters of the Universe<\/em> isn\u2019t the first movie to make a themed \u201cdrink vessel,\u201d a la a popcorn bucket, has there been a better one? We doubt it. And it doesn\u2019t hurt that there are also some very, very cool popcorn buckets themed for the film, too. Check these out.<\/p>\n

The throne even lights up! Hopefully, it comes with those figures too.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have much more on Masters of the Universe<\/em>, sans its popcorn buckets, as we get closer to its June 5 release. Do you think the Travis Knight film has the potential to be a summer breakout? Let us know below.<\/p>\n
