Movie Concessions Poll

Popcorn and soft drink are my most typical choices

I eat what I sneak and that is candy

how should I vote

I get popcorn and a soft drink if I'm buying it at the theater. Popcorn and a water if I'm sneaking it in. My wife will sneak in candy if she comes along, but I quit eating candy recently.

option #2 suffices xp

Coffee and chocolate most of the time--chocolate from outside, preferably, so I don't have to pay $3.50 for a Mars bar. Popcorn and sprite occasionally. The Lightbox in Toronto treats art films like a religious pilgrimage, so food is verboten--quick communion, then we take our seats.

sunny sucessor will not let you begin eating your snacks until the movie has started, not even during the previews, the fascist.

popcorn or gtfo

gotta be 2-1/2 hrs+ or I prefer nothing

the "bag crinklers" need to be pummeled

A couple of really nice cinemas (Newcastle, and Henley) do Coffee.

Otherwise, sneaky coffee.

Morbs otm. If it's quiet enough, I note people with food and move away.

oh, at a repertory double feature I will get a dietcoke sometimes.

I was pretty scandalised by the fact that some cinemas don't allow you to take your own food and drink in. The best plan of action - buy a large coffee from the bar, take in yr own whiskey to add to taste. I'm torn between coffee/beer/eat what I sneak.

Ah, who am I kidding? It has to be beer.

"Sneaky coffee", what the blummineck!

I means "Sneaky eats/sweets", that's what.

It depends. I'll sometimes get a coffee if it's very cold out or if it's a matinee, or sometimes I'll get a beer for movies later at night.

usually just a diet coke, although at the 21+ screenings i'll get a cocktail at the bar.

popcorn, but only if i am at the riverview. margaritas if im at that place in south mpls. otherwise, nothing.

at the Glasgow Film Theater i buy a plastic glass of a good single malt. o/wise don't eat or drink in the cinema, don't text, talk, snore, snog etc. am a bit of a fidget, so try to sit on an aisle, and prefer somewhere in the first three rows. i have never been the only patron for a film, but got p close sometimes.

back when i was a smoker i did like to have a cigarette during a movie, tho

Popcorn and soft drink but lately it's been a burger and a beer

popcorn

I usually bring in my own coffee because Mr Veg always insists on going to the 11am saturday or Sunday screenings. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie during darktime :(

i always get a beer

this, brought in from outside, or nothing at all

sunny is otm about waiting until the movie starts

I don't mind M & Ms dumped into my popcorn but it's hard to do this covertly and get even distribution without making a TON of noise.

I eat what I sneak, unless I'm at some rep house where they have dope homemade brownies or something

I usually sneak in candy and/or drinks (booze, occasionally, esp if it's a midnight show) & I almost always buy popcorn.

so i voted for 'a popcorn,' but, you know, it's complicated.

usually just a diet coke, although at the 21+ screenings i'll get a cocktail at the bar.

heh is this a british thing or...

i usually sneak in something but often buy stuff too - more candy, soda, popcorn, our closest theater has a full dinner menu - mostly to support the business; i really like all the old restored theaters in the bay area, and i want them to keep going + tickets are usually cheap anyway.

I might have a hard candy or two in my pocket to eat while waiting for the trailers to end and the movie start, but I never buy food from the concession stand. But I also am a notorious skinflint, never eat fast food and go to a restaurant maybe 3 times a year, so this is completely in character for me.

One of my co-workers told me recently that she sneaks in Chinese food. Like, she fully brings in and chows down on crab rangoon and egg rolls. This sort of blew my mind.

Popcorn and a coke and self-hatred halfway through the movie from the HFCS and sodium
sometimes a flask

Twizzlers and a Diet Coke is my answer anyway.

stopped w/ popcorn because it was making me sick ... stopped w/ drinks because I hate having to pee 2/3 of the way through the movie. Stick to a bit of candy though.
chinese food in a theater? disgusting savages imo...

I hate having popcorn stuck in my teeth for days, so I don't eat it all the time

It doesn't have to be caffeinated or even sweet, but I have to have a liquid with me while watching a movie. I rarely bother with anything else.

NEVER get that "butter" stuff on your popcorn btw. I worked at a movie theater for a while when I was younger and that stuff looks like the human fat from Fight Club before it is heated.

I don't get this "sneak stuff in" thing... In the USA, people aren't allowed to bring their own food/drink to the cinema?! What happened to freedom?

OTOH, in Finland you aren't allowed to drink alcohol in the cinema except in some rare special screenings.

As a side note, I first saw Coffee & Cigarettes in an outside cinema located at the inner yard of a cafe, and it was pretty cool to drink coffee and smoke while watching the movie.

In the USA, people aren't allowed to bring their own food/drink to the cinema?!

Varies from place to place but in most theaters bringing your own food is technically not allowed. This is rarely enforced though. People sneak all kinds of stuff in.

Where is the poll option for "Junior Mints"

Thank you, Bob Mould.

90% of the time I don't get anything; every now and then I'll have some popcorn.

I don't usually get anything. If I do,I finish it before the movie starts.
If at a commercial multiplex type place I don't get anything from the concessions but might bring in some candy or baked goods.
At an independent theater I might get an espresso (generally nothing larger), maybe some cake or something.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

And we love the hot butter on what? The popcorn.
