I've had this in my head for a while. But I've been gone. I had the idea at the Pirates of the Carribean premier.

The question is, what do you get at the movie theaters? I usually just get a soda.

Usually I don't get anything because, well, it costs a fortune.

But once in awhile I'll get "the classic" or even more seldom some Twizzlers: nature's most perfect food.

Back in the day, I used to get nothing, because them peoples are thieves. Nowadays though, I usually get a popcorn, because it's easy to share with the kids and spilling doesn't mess up kids clothes like soda does.

Hee hee...

So, is it fun being a parent Racerx? :p

I usually don't even go to the theader. But when I do I usually get nothing. Though on special occasions (if the theader is playing a Ghibli film) I will get popcorn.

Popcorn, candy and cola. But never a value tray, because you don't get enough of each food.

Nothing. The crunching distracts from the movie, and soda has the undesirable "bladder fill" effect. Though if my friends buy candy, I'll share that.

Nothing... because of what Interruptor Jones said. And I've never been aware of "Value Trays," as far as I know they don't exist at my theater. lol.

So I just get a soda.

Haven't you ever heard of sneaking food into a movie? Everyone does it.

Really? That's very interesting.

I get a stomach ache if I ever eat Mc. Donalds fries. And sometimes my chest hurts if I eat anything else there. I haven't eaten there for over four years now.

Since when? How would they get much into the movies. I can see maybe a really small bag of peanuts in your pocket, but nothing bigger. Plus, what about drinks.

The reason I just usually get a soda is because usually it tastes good, and your bladder is fine as long as you pee before the movie. And popcorn is too salty.

You're like me then. Popcorn makes me sick in a way that I end up getting all tired.
Or, it's the darkness from the movie room.......
Still. Popcorn makes me feel sick. Unless it's that kind thats not too generic. Not the movie kind. The movie kind just tastes like.....Puffed sweet corn.

You'd be surprised how much I can cram into my pockets. It helps if you're with/are a girl too, since purses can hold a lot. Or, bring some kind of bag to hold it in. As for the drinks, just buy them there. It's not that bad, as long as you get a small.

It depends. if I go with family. I don't get anything. if I go with friends, I usually get one of those Icees, and we usually split a popcorn or something.

I get popcorn and Fruitopia. At least that's been my thing for the past, like, 6 times I've gone to the movies, and that's probably about a year's time. I is poor. So when I go I make sure to go all out.

Or I sneak stuff in in my purse. Just don't bring a can of pop, because then people look at you when you open it. Bottled juice is the best sneak-in drink.

I usually go with my parents, and we sneak in candy and pop, then buy popcorn there because it's so darn grood. When Harry Potter 5 comes out, I'm bringing tissues for when I'm bauling at the end. But I'm not going to eat them.

I usually don't get anything. It's a distraction/too much money.

If I have the extra cash, I grab a box of Rasinettes and a soda. Usually I don't have the extra cash. Also, I have no problem with breaking the sacred theatre code and bringing in outside food.

I do it all the time. Buy all the food (excl. popcorn) and soda from somewhere else, then march into the theatre. None of the staff seem to care.

so do i. we bought a crate of pre-popped corn from bulk buy direct(it's not really called that). four dollars? how cheap is that? you know there's a flaw, but it's worth it. then, we take in a couple of bags. they let us do that now.
but what i did once, was i got an old popcorn box, filled it with candy i bought elsewhere, and covered it with popcorn i made at home.

it might just be here, but have you even noticed that in the cinema lobby, they only have a menu for all the combos? it just makes people think "i just want a medium soda! well, i really want that soda, so i'll just get the popcorn, choc top and the tube of M&Ms as well."
the only way to find out how to get it separate is to ask.
on the day of the school reward excursion, my friends and i, we all got in a line, and we just kept saying "how much is a medium popcorn?" at the end, she was really annoyed.
serves them right.

I usually smuggle in several boxes of candy that I didn't buy from the theater. I wonder when they'll notice that I always wear huge jackets whenever I go there...
