Movie Theater Snacks?

I sneak my own stuff in...my own trail mix, my own drinks etc...

I simply refuse to max my credit card for a popcorn and large drink.

You can bring your own light popcorn, or I like to bring fruit (like grapes) or really anything that fits into a little baggie and in my purse! haha

Def sneak your own stuff in!
Going to the movies without snacks is NO fun! lol
Take your own light popcorn in a zipploc bag, trail mix (not too much though, you should watch the fat and sugar content on those), a 100 calorie pack snack, celery and carrot sticks with a light dip... YUM!!

I just take in my own...usually something like a Kashi chocolate granola bar and some water...

We usually eat before hand at home anyways, no need to add in much extra...

Regal Entertainment Group, the largest movie theater chain in the country, also provides the largest disaster in move theater popcorn. It pops in coconut oil, which is 90 percent saturated. I encourage you to move your cardiologist's phone number to your speed dial before the lights go down. AMC, the nation's second-largest chain, also pops in coconut oil.

Cinemark, my favorite, deserves some applause. The nation's third largest chain pops in non-hydrogenated canola oil instead of coconut. My significant other and I share the tub with no butter, and we sneak in our drink. The free refill on the popcorn comes in handy at times.

Due to the cardboard material and its wider opening, the tub has the added benefit of not being noisy. It's furthermore beyond me why people voluntarily choose to be ripped off by purchasing the small sizes, some of which are requested with butter.

I sneak in home made trail mix or sugar snap peas!!

When we go to the movie I carry my movie purse and i definitely sneak stuff in.
1. None of its healthy enough to put my hands on.
2. It all costs WAY to much.

When I go to a movie theater, I bring my biggest purse and sneak in a bottle of champagne. If I'm being dragged to a chick flick, I don't share.

Ooh I never thought to cook popcorn with coconut oil before.

I'll think ill have ii as a snack today

I think making your own popcorn (seasoned with spices/herbs - or even just salted, if you're not too worried about your sodium intake) is a great option. Either that or take a bag of nuts (cashews, brazil nuts, monkey nuts etc). If it's just for the sake of chewing something, how about just chewing some sugar-free gum?

man, if i still ate corn i would be super happy to hear about this coconut oil business! oh well. at least i won't be as upset when my husband eats it

I never have snacks at the movies even if not trying to lose weight - there is nothing worse than watching a movie to the sound of people munching loudly. And I see poeple with HUGE trays of food and drink - who then have to go to the bathroom halfway through ebcause they've ahd a fire-bucket full of Coke. Eat before you go, or watch a DVD at home.

And especially don't bring in huge bacgs of nachos to a quiet movie.

And turn off your phone.

Can you guess I don't like poeple eating in the movies? :grumble:

LOL I'm the same way! Nothing worse than someone scratching in the bottom of their popcorn bucket, or shaking skittles out of a box into their mouth during a quiet scene in the movie! I can't stand cell phones or movie "narrators" who audibly point out the obvious or quote the lines with the actors, either! I'm a mid-week, first show of the day movie goer! LOL

For me its usually Tuesday on the rare occasion I go to the theater and I go to the first show of the day so I don't have to deal with crowds and rudeness, One of the good things about working nights, I can go grocery shopping/movies, etc. while everyone else is at work. Carmike has $1 small drinks and popcorn on Tuesdays, I only go to the moves 1-3 times/year so to me this little splurge is ok and totally worth it and by going on Tuesday I make sure to stick to the smallest size because the next size up is $5 more.

Something to consider is that a movie theater shares its income from ticket purchases with the movie distributor, while it keeps all of the income from its consession stand items. If you bypass the latter by sneaking in all of your goodies, the theater may well have to close some day due to lack of revenue.
