What kind of boxed theater candy is your favorite?



I LOVE the chocolate covered chocolate chip cookie dough bites. Also Swedish fish and DOTS.

Red Vines. Last time I went to the theater they didn't have it, so I'll just smuggled some in.

Snowcaps, Sugar Babies, and Good 'n' Plenty are sometimes chosen, too.

Don't really have a movie snack.

Goobers, hands down. I always go to WalMart or Target BEFORE I hit the movie theater. My mind can't process paying a 400% markup because I'm too lazy to drive across the street.

When I want something to eat I smuggle. No way I'm paying those prices.

They call me "The Smugglist" LOL. One time in college I got bold and took a Subway 6-inch to the movies! I carry food in my purse ALL the time and it used to embarrass my ex to no end!

And I apologize to anyone who believes that damages capitalism and whatnot, but I don't give a FUGG. God gave me breasts so I can wear a bra to the club and hide teeny tiny $1 shot-sized liquor bottles in my cleavage, instead of paying $6 for a daggone rum and Coke.

You are my new hero! I have always tried to get brave enough to bring a flask in a bar (less now as I don't go out much at all) to save on the crazy drink prices. I always bring bottled water into places because I am not going to pay $3+ for a bottle of water if I am catching a game or other event at a large venue.

You wait...there's no law against sneaking your own snacks into a movie but you wait, next thing they'll do is the theaters will enforce a policy to check ladies purses and stuff on the way in to make sure they're not bringing any food in with them. That's what I look for to happen.

I am actually surprised there isn't already a "no handbag" rule at theaters. But I guess they probably couldn't enforce that anyway. They must just realize the small handful of people who do it is not that big of a financial blow when they are charging up the ying yang for popcorn and fountain soda.

No kidding, smallest popcorn is about $4, smallest soda is $3, and it IS small, what the hell? It's no wonder people say the movie theater business is going to die out because who CAN afford that? People have a hard enough time affording the tickets.

Well, they do that at the sports arena here. It's actually to inspect for weapons but if they find candy bars they are confiscated, too.

I only buy popcorn and a soda at the theater.

My wife and I just share a popcorn and soda.
