I know we are not suppose to bring our own food in, but I want something to munch and I want it to be healthy. What's your favorite thing to sneak into the movies. I have a rather large purse so feel free to be creative :happy:

    Trail mix you make yourself, air popped popcorn with spray butter- fat free, grapes and pretzels- whole wheat, Dark chocolate or carob bars. It really all depends on if you want the movie experience or you don't care what you are eating.

    I go to Trader Joes and get freeze dried fruit. They are crunchy and I like the flavor. My kids think I'm weird though :)

    I don't go very often. When I do go to the movies I want the experience and I bring air-popped popcorn (that I make at home) and raisinets though instead of soda I will bring flavored seltzer water.

    The popcorn and seltzer water are the healthy part

    I always bring my own water bottle and maybe some dark chocolate if I'm feeling frisky.

    We've gone to Arby's before and snuck in a bunch of food. Made the whole theater smell like roast beef. :laugh:

    If I want to buy something at the movies I typically go for the kids size popcorn that they have. At AMC they have a kids pack that I regularly get when I do go to the movies. Its a kids size popcorn, fruit gummies and a kids drink. For the drink I usually just get unsweetened tea.

    I've always snuck in whisky and sometimes beer. Once a burrito.

    I bring a box of Cracker Jack. Nice single size serving. If you have more calories to spend, go to the dollar store and by a "snack size" bag of Indiana Popcorn....this is like 2 servings, but the sea salt variety still fits most days. Even more calories?.....buy the Indiana Popcorn kettle corn (addictive).

    Not exactly the question, but I think we should open up the question: Weirdest or most extravagant food you snuck into the theater?

    Four piping hot takeout egg rolls and a carton of Ben and Jerry's ice cream (shared between two of us). My friend had a habit of packing entire dining sets wherever we went, too.

    Went to see Pacific Rim with a buddy. Full house, we brought two bottles of beer each, mini cheesecake for dessert, and each one of us had a ribeye with pommes robuchon that I made.

    All nicely sliced up.
