Snack Time!!!!!

[speakerman39]

Well, just thought I would post a thread and ask what is your favorite snack when visiting your local theater? Is it the popcorn.......is it the candy.......or is it the pretzels? If it is the candy, what specifically is your favorite? Of course, we all know everything is so grossly over-priced. Therefore, many eat before the show or sneak in their own snacks. So which is it folks........care to share????

Cheers,

Phil

In the winter time I like to sneak a Tim Hortons x-large coffee into the theatre in my winter coat pocket to drink with the movie. Other than that....nothing.

 

[loserwife]

The popcorn of course! Oh and...milk duds.

Well Bear it sounds like you have it all worked out. So, what do you do when it is warmer?

Ever since I was a kid, I loved a nice big bag of M&Ms in the movies. I rarely eat them anymore- mainly b/c the serving size has WAY too many calories and quite a bit of fat (I've gotten too healthy for my own good ), but every now and then I'll treat myself. My favorites were always the peanut butter ones .

My wife is a certified popcorn addict. If Popcorn Anonymous existed I'd force her to go to meetings!!

On the rare occasions that I go to the theater (I think that my last visit was in 2003 for The Matrix Reloaded), I don't get any snacks. Because I'm cheap? That's an excellent guess, but no. It's because snacks make me thirsty...which leads to drinking...which leads to having to go to the restroom...which leads to missing part of the movie. Darn me and my smaller-than-a-five-year-olds bladder.

 

[jostenmeat]

I feel ya Adam. I would never get anything because of the prices, but later in life I'd splurge every once in a while for a big Coke. $5, but at least unlimited refills. Burp. Peeeeee....

Hey, nothing some Plastic surgery couldn't fix..........right? I can make your bladder larger..........just stuff a subwoofer in it and then it will hold an ocean. Oh, did I mention it may hurt? No really, you make some excellent points as always Adam. Thanks for sharing my friend.

When it is warm I do not have anything, when it is cold I like to have a hot drink to keep me nice and cozy in the theatre.

[Davemcc]

What do you mean by "when visiting your local theater". Is that like some place that people who don't have home theaters need to visit???

I actually got the idea of sneaking in coffee into the theatre from Cosmo Kramer, from a Seinfeld episode. The coffee thing didnt end up working to well for him.

 

[Adam]

That's only because he applied the balm.

"You put the balm on? Who told you to put the balm on? I didn’t tell you to put the balm on. Why’d you put the balm on?"

The last time I went to the movies with the kids it was over 30 bucks for some popcorn 3 drinks a 2 boxes of candy. I couldn't freakin' believe it...
Next time I am going to bring our own stuff in a backpack.....

right on bro!! i always bring my own and laugh at my mates who spend the large $$$ on popcorn and stuff. My partner and i visit the super market before hand and get some belgium chocolate or german or swiss stuff. We are chocolate lovers. If i had it my way (which i mostly do) i would be eating the stuff 24 seven

PS i love easter

One of the theaters near by has Kettle Korn and that is about the only thing I like to eat in the theater lately Before, candy of choice would be Malt balls and SweetTarts
