There’s a new popcorn bucket that’s apparently been made to promote the upcoming ‘Dune’ sequel — and if this thing is legit … it’s raising a lot of eyebrows for very obvious reasons.
These photos of the purported movie-themed bucket — which has not hit theaters yet, apparently — are circulating online … and the rub, it seems, is that these may in fact be trotted out to the general public in conjunction with the ‘Dune 2’ release in March.
If you’re unsure what you’re looking at here, well … you’re not alone. If you’re a fan of the franchise, though — you’ll recognize this as the mouth of one of the giant sandworms in the first flick, which Timothée Chalamet has to fight/escape from in his epic sci-fi universe.
Basically, WB (or whoever the hell designed this) seems to have thought it’d be fun to have fans reach their hands into the “mouth” of the plastic worm to get to the popcorn below.
No harm, no foul in concept — but in the execution of this design … the makers didn’t realize this worm bucket thing could be interpreted a few different ways — and yes, they’re all pretty freaking naughty. At least that’s what the Internet thinks, anyway … jokes galore.

We’ll let your imagination run wild with this one — and we suppose we’ll ask the question …
What the heck are you seeing here, exactly … mind in the gutter or otherwise? This is a bit of a Rorschach test, we know — so it’ll clearly be in the eye of the beholder. Let us know!
