What do you buy at the Movie Snack Counter?

[Diddly]

Usually, I smuggle my candy in, unless I don't have time to stop by the local grocery store.

At the theater, I get a Medium Popcorn (with butter), a Medium Lemonade (And I am ALWAYS asked if I want to make it a large for a quarter. A guy once told me that they are forced to ask that, though), and I get Reese's Pieces for candy.

I usually buy a sode (diet Coke) and smuggle the rest in, candy.  My candy choices are Sour Punch Straws, SSour Patch Kids, and sometimes SOur Patch Kids Watermelons.  

 

They have Guinness in the theatres up there?

That's it--I'm moving to Canada, and re-thinking my "no snacks or drinks at the movies" policy. . .  

I know that the threater at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin had a bar in the movie threater complex when I first went to it.  I'm not sure if they still have it or not.

Yeah, you know, after I made that post, I remembered that I went to a little indie theatre in Dallas (the Magnolia) last year that had a bar in it, too.

It's just that, here in Oklahoma City, we don't have any theatres like that (none that I know of, anyway), and all of my theatre-going is usually done at an AMC or a Cinemark theatre, where they obviously don't have any booze.

For shame. . .

And anyway, to hit on another point:  Remind me never to go to the movies with any of you people--ever.  Except maybe Morgbug.  He seems good like that.

I always get a large popcorn with no butter and a large diet coke.  I don't mind paying the high price for popcorn/pop, because that's something you must have when watching any movie.  But, I refuse to spend $4-5 on a little box of candy.  If I think I'm going to want some candy I'll just stop at Target and pick up a huge bag of candy for something like $2 (sometimes less).

I get a medium Coke (damn theaters don't offer Pibb ) and a ridiculously small bag of Reese's Pieces that usually end up thrown at punk kids talking during a movie I paid a lot of money to see.
 Small wonder DVDs and home theaters sell so well.

I almost always get nachos with lots of jalapenos, and bring my own soda.

[JoshEEE]

My girlfriend is a fan of buying those big plastic cups that you can get refilled for 1.50 at theater chains (she has quite a few of them).  So drinks are cheaper if you actually remember to bring the cup.

Candy, I try to buy beforehand if I want it for some reason. I've snuck sodas in a few times, but I like fountain soda better than bottled or canned, so I don't mind paying for the 4 dollar cup if I have to.

I actually don't get popcorn much, usually because I see movies in the evening when I'm either planning on or have just been to dinner.

Sometimes I do get nachos, and you MUST put a lot of jalapenos on them.  I put so many of them on my nachos that you can't see any of the nachos anymore.

Well, my wife should throw me out by then, or whenever she realizes just how many toys I have.  Bless her, she bought me a figure today, but it underscored just how little she knows.  I should be good, where are we meeting

HMI,
could be worse, you could live in a country that doesn't sell Mr. Pibb.

[Ben]

True that. I don't think I've gone to see a flick since Pirates of the Carribean because of the reasons I mentioned above. Also I really loathe people who sit directly behind me in a nearly empty theater and kick my seat when they move around because their larda$$ fell asleep. Not to mention the talking. Grrr. Arrgh.

I just wait for most movies I want to see to come out on DVD. I can watch them at my leisure without annoyances and with plenty of beer, pizza, and Dr. Pepper ripoffs.

[carebear]

I usually bring a can of pop or bottle of water and get pretzels or share popcorn.  Occasionally I will splurge and have my *own* popcorn.

[Nicklab]

I used to go by the old standby:  popcorn and a coke.

But lately?  A pack of twizzlers, and a bottled water.

[jadesfire]

I smuggle in candy and then eat off the hubbys giant popcorn and pop (free refills).  

[carebear]

Free refills?!  Our theater used to offer that and then got rid of it.    We used to always get large drinks and popcorn, but no longer...

[Famine]

For me it really takes alot ot get me into the theatre (JP, SW, LOTR, Slasher Films) but when I do go to a theatre, I buy a drink, and nachos.

When I go to the drive-in theatre, we always sneak in food...its a hella lot easyer and cheaper than paying $2.50 for a pizza roll smaller than your standard egg roll...good god...how can they charge that.

If your going to a theatre with free refils on stuff, keep the containers, like the bag for next time. I figure for the 11.00 they charge they can afford to give me my free refils. Whenever I want.
