What do you buy at the cinema

leanby2013

Just a fun little topic

If i could get anything i would have the ben & jerrys core sundae (2 scoops of your choice, hot chocolate fudge in the middle, topped with whipped cream and chocolate drops)
Hotdog in a bun
And sweet popcorn yum

Of course i never get all this but usually i get just sweet popcorn, i could probably live of it if i tried haha!

wow, my movie theater doesn't sell good food like that! they have soft pretzels, buttered popcorn, nachos & cheese, and hot dogs.

i do love movie theater popcorn, but it makes my stomach hurt. if i could get anything, i'd probably get a soft pretzel with that bright orange, radioactive "cheese" dip stuff, haha

I live in the uk and there is SO much stuff to buy at the cinema, i almost put on 10lbs just by looking at it haha.

They have started doing dried fruit and nuts now though so thats a little better, still high in calories though

Ok, super boring, but nothing - I cheat! I bring in a can of diet soda and my own homemade microwave popcorn! This way, I still get to snack, but I control the calories! All you need is popcorn kernels, a brown paper bag and some tape! I love adding some Cabot cheddar cheese shaker instead of butter! YUM!

I got the idea from this site --- http://www.snack-girl.com/snack/homemade-microwave-popcorn/

I try to avoid cinema food when I can. our options are popcorn, caramel popcorn, and candy. I usually just pack some nuts in my purse and call that good instead.

I eat popcorn, lots of it. Usually some sort of candy that I steal from my kids too.

Usually nothing...if I eat popcorn I get thirsty, if I get thirsty I have to use the bathroom, which means missing part of the movie, which was the whole reason I went in the first place.

Im a sucker for popcorn. I could easily eat a whole large one to myself haha

A massive bucket of buttered popcorn.

We hire and sitter and go to the movies ONCE a month. There are no rules on this day.

if i could get anything with no calorie consequences : large tub of popcorn with butter, box of chocolates of some kind, diet coke. eat my entire half of both.

what i get : small popcorn, very little butter, eat a couple handfuls of it total, diet coke.

i hate how they try to pressure you into getting extra jumbo refrigerator box of popcorn and swimming pool sized coke every time. i generally have to say, "no, i just want the small" at least twice before they relent.

I don't like popcorn, never have....and I don't drink pop.

I used to get a candy treat at the movie theatres but for the past 6 months, I've changed that to picking up a Tim's XL decaf coffee with splenda and cream.

I actually find it is the BEST because I get frozen in the theatres and usually end up wrapped up in a jacket shivering before the end of the movie.

The coffee helps that.

Tickets. I bring water and sometimes a small baggie of trail mix or and apple. I used to buy lots of food, but it's too damn expensive and since my body is healthier, I truly do not want to poison it with the crap they sell.

Nothing, unless someone is treating me...stuff there is too expensive! So I usually just bring a bottle of water (that's all I drink anyway!) and some M&M's or almonds.

If i'm being bad, i'll get an angus hotdog minus the bun. Usually i just buy a large bottle of water and carry in a protein bar.

sweet popcorn and diet coke, a single bag of popcorn or half a large bag is around 500 cals and no fat so its ok for a treat :-)

I smuggle in air-popped, unbuttered popcorn. (I get the snack and not the bajillion calories)

I don't buy anything at the movies, and I don't like it when someone near me in the theater is making noise with their bags when the movie is going on.
