I'm going to be there for 9 hours tomorrow. My plan is to have a huge lunch, then bring some snacks with me that I can eat between the movies. So far I have protein bar and beef jerky... Any idea? It needs to fit in my purse (we're not supposed to bring food)... and I'll be there from 2pm to 11pm probably.

    I sneak stuff into theaters all the time. they never check.

    Jerky and protein bars are great. what about grapes or raisins or cut up fruit in a sealed baggie? Or freeze dried fruit. I love to snack on apple juice sweetened cranberries, but they can get high on the calories. They do taste like candy though. I brought homemade pudding to the moves once.. lol. seriously and I ate it too. Twizzlers? Nuts? Yogurt covered raisins? Your own popcorn in a brown paper bag? Swedish fish (a fat free food!! LOL). Home made chips? Carrot or celery sticks! Gum!

    ETA: POPPED!! LOVE THEM!

    Great ideas! I have a small purse though :( I typically don't eat at the movies but I don't think I'm going to be able to avoid it this time.

    It's 370 calories for a small. I could probably wing it... but I'm not that fond of popcorn! But I guess if I'm starving it will come to that, lol.

    We usually take Clif Z bars and a small bottle of water. But 9 hours whoa...maybe some nuts and dried fruit?

    Go in costume! We once went to LOTR in medieval gear - we'd been hired for the stage show before the premiere at that cinema - and managed to stuff *everything* under our cloaks. One guy had a pizza, and the orcs brought in an entire roast piglet...

    Everyone should own at least one "movie purse".

    LOL. I love this.
    I've eaten a chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell at the movies before. I was in my early 20's and meeting friends there after I had just worked a 10 hr shift at my job. Multi-tasking ftw

    ^^^^ This! I certainly do.... put all the yummy goodness as the bottom - then my glass case and wallet - but they rarely even check

    I sneak in booze to add to my diet soda, and a container of chicken (thank you Davpul for the idea). I find that wrapping the container in napkins or putting it in a plastic storage bag helps to mask the smell.

    Good luck! :drinker:
