    I do. I refuse to pay the crazy prices the movie theater charges. And I really don't like their popcorn anyway, so I bring one in my bag (light salt no butter) and bottle of water

    I sneak snacks everywhere where they're not allowed! I even sneaked a whole tub of popcorn chicken (back in my unhealthy days) into a skating rink and they didn't notice! :laugh:

    Y'all know why they charge so much, right? The theater itself gets very little of the ticket price. The concessions keep the doors open. I had a buddy that was a theater manager. He'd let us in free if we'd buy a ticket's worth of concessions to help him out.

    Agree with it or not, that's why they're so expensive.

    Why don't the mans get their own purses?
    Don't you mean, "satchels"? Indiana Jones wears one.

    Haha, I'm lame.

    My mother and I have done this for years, usually because the sweets they offered were not any we liked. I still sneak in some low-cal bite size candies if I want them and now I sneak in bottles of water from home because the bottles offered at the theater are $4 and they're maybe .4 ounces larger than the ones I buy in 24 packs for less than $4.

    Even when I ate poorly I quit trusting theater food after a now ex-friend got a job at one and mentioned the horrors of what the "butter" machine looked like when it needed cleaning and the obscene things done with their nachos and other not pre-packaged stuff like hotdogs and the jalapenos that are offered in a cup. Not going in my mouth.

    Yes, yes I do. When we were kids my mom would take us to the drug store to buy candy which she would sneak in and we would share a soda. Now I keep a bottle of water and a bag of nuts or protein bar in my bag.

    well if they let me in for free I would buy their food. I think the healthiest thing that theatres have are twizzlers, and those aren't too healthy

    Of course I sneak snacks in.

    There was this one time that I snuck in sushi in a Victoria's Secret bag, though. Best movie ever.

    I've only ever taken in a bottle of water - sometimes a coffee.
