Do you tend to eat popcorn and pop or are you a nachos kinda person? Maybe gummi bears? Sno-Caps? Hot dogs? Do you sneak your own food in the theater to avoid buying the theater's overpriced refreshments? Do you bring booze?

I will admit I'm the popcorn/pop guy, usually eaten before a quarter of the movie is over, though I sometimes start eating during the trailers. Fucking boring, I know. Don't often get anything else...though I love Sno-Caps. I also don't tend to sneak food or drinks in the theaters, because my pockets aren't that big and I don't have a purse or a trench coat (people might get suspicious for more than one reason)...plus I like the taste of fountain pop better than canned or bottled.

If I'm by myself I don't get anything. If I'm with my mom or aunt who will pay I get one of those kid boxes with the popcorn,candy, and a drink and that's all i need and i often don't eat it all.

We usually get nachos, some egg roll things or other similar appetizer and split a bottle of wine.

Nothing unless I'm with my mom or husband. They do not feel like they have truly been to the movies unless they have popcorn. I hate getting gouged so I eat before I go and allow myself a snack afterwards if I want one. When things were not so expensive, my favorite movie food was peanut M&Ms.

you're food choice is boring. though I hate ice in cokes. it melts

Boringness doesn't factor in to my choice.

I don't like ice in my drink because it's already chilled. At most I'm going to have it for a couple hours. It'll still be cold.

I agreed with that. But no butter on popcorn, what are you trying to do live forever?

I order medium buttered popcorn and a large Diet Coke so I can refill the cup for free.

I sneaked movie theater candy I got at a discount at the grocery store into a movie theater once.

Look who turned out to be America's Bad Boy.

The last time I ate in a movie theatre it was to watch Skyfall. I snuck in fried chicken, Korean picked radish and a pint of beer. I dozed off halfway through the movie, I just remember a bunch of jumbled Scottish accents at the end.

^lol


I usually don't get anything. I used to work at a theatre and could get it all for free, so the thought of paying for it makes me unhappy.

Also if I'm going to the movies, I sure as hell, am going to sit through the whole thing, and that means I'm not going to want to go to the bathroom. So I don't get drinks.

If someone else is with me, I get popcorn and put the raisonettes in it.
