Zinc (popcorn-bucket design)

Zinc is the Australian popcorn-bucket design company discussed in 《奥德赛》把爆米花装进特洛伊木马，好莱坞大片为何扎堆定制爆米花桶？. The episode says the company had long experience designing themed buckets and tried to expand the business into U.S. cinemas in 2016.

Its key source case is the 2019 Star Wars R2-D2 bucket. The episode says AMC Theatres bought a large order, priced the bucket at about $50, and sold through quickly, helping convince theaters that audiences would pay for a plastic container when it acted like a collectible.
