Who eats refreshments at the movie theatres? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

GARFIELDKOOL · 08-20-2005, 12:07 PM

I know I don't. The movie itself is high. I went to the movies last weekend, and I was checking out the concession stand and I didn't see anything under 4 dollars! That's ridiculous! I always eat before or after the movie.

More times than not, I don't buy anything. However, if I do, it is usually the classic stuff like popcorn and a soda.

It usually depends on whether or not I've eaten anything recently.

Have you seen the cups Regal is using for their large sodas now? Holy crap! You can take them home and swim in them when you're done! That's why so many of you have to get up and pee during the movie.

I very seldom go to the movies as it is because it's so expensive but when i do i always get a soda and either nachos or a hot dog.

I always get popcorn and soda, but sometimes I get Skittles or Sno-Caps (or during Lord of the rings: Return of the King both)

I usually get a large diet soda and a popcorn....it's rare that I'll get candy..not paying $4 for a bag!

EmoJoe · 08-20-2005, 01:00 PM

I doooo. I love popcorn even though im not supposed to eat it cause of my braces. But I do anyway.

robyrob · 08-20-2005, 01:02 PM

no way man - i ALWAYS buy some sours and Twizzlers beforehand and smuggle them in...

sometimes I'll get a pop and that's it.

vienna waits · 08-20-2005, 01:20 PM

every once in a blue moon I'll get popcorn and then go the water fountain if I'm thirsty. usually I just sneak in candy.

barwars · 08-20-2005, 01:22 PM

When I do get something, I always get the biggest size, to share with whoever I'm at the movie with. I hate leaving during a movie, whether its to get a refill or go to the bathroom, so I rarely take advantage of the free refill on the SUPER-MEGA-BUILT-FOR-OBESITY-SIZE.

Sharop · 08-20-2005, 01:48 PM

I very rarely go to the movies - I like movies, but I'm interested in a lot of older ones. I do go sometimes, but we usually all go as a family - one of my parents would have to drive me anyway, since the movie theatre isn't within walking distance. Our Mum usually buys us sweets beforehand, which we take in there. We don't usually buy any food, although we sometimes get drinks.

Heck yeah, I go to Target and buy Dots or Snowcaps. They are only 99 cents there! Way cheaper than the theatre.
