    I sneak in a water or other drink. I bring something like a protein bar. Also sugar-free hard candies or gum. I avoid movie popcorn, not because I don't like it, I DO, I would eat too much of it I am sure. Best to avoid it (me)

    Funny you ask that, we just came back from the movies. Paid $4 for a 20 oz. bottle of water. Which we shared. Yes we are fools.

    We are trying to memorize the look of the bottle so I can buy it ahead next time and bring it in my purse...

    Smuggle in beer in glass bottles. It sure is fun to hear them clank as they roll down the isle when you are done drinking the beer.

    ^^^This. And then I sit behind a group of teenagers. Because when all is said and done, no one is ever going to think I'm the culprit.

    I usually get a large tea and that is it, but recently in a rather posh cinema in London, I bought one of their little boxes of giant chocolate buttons to take in. Occasionally I go for a sweet popcorn. Once after a gym workout, I smuggled in a tub of cottage cheese and spoon.

    small popcorn only...not because it's fatty but cuz it's so dang expensive! Everything else I snug in my purse! One day I'll be saying in my grandma voice "I remember back in the days when I can go to theater for $10!"

    The theatre we go to doesn't hold too strict to bringing in food from other places, so we'll often sneak in drinks. We stick to popcorn (no butter) and I share. No fingers are allowed to be licked though!

    We just hit our local dollar theatre last night... Since we were between paydays, I got a mini bag popcorn and (to my SO's chagrin) a bottle of water. Usually would do coke and a large bag, but I'm trying really hard to get away from soda.
    I don't do candy at the movies anyway, but I love the popcorn!

    It's so rare that we go to the movies (twice in the last 12 months) that when we do go, we go all out. There's always New York Fries - poutine with my husband or just plain fries with the kids. Popcorn to share with no butter, candy (which I usually smuggle in) and everyone gets their own drink. Sometimes the kids want cotton candy or frozen yogurt, that's ok too.

    I always smuggle food into movies. As a woman, it's pretty easy to do with a purse. If i do get the popcorn, I share it with someone.

    I eat before I go. I don't like to eat in the dark. It makes me feel like I should feel ashamed.

    I am all for drinking martini's at the movies in a reclining chair. That sounds like a lot of fun. (better than doing it at home)

    Usually, I tell the guys I don't want popcorn and then eat all theirs. They hate that. LOL If I'm thinking before I leave the house I'll grab a mint balance bar.

    I only really go to the drive in

    but if I am going to a regular theater I just bring in whatever food I want in my purse or I do not bring any food at all

    I go all out, get a small popcorn WITH butter and candy. My hunny buys the nachos and hotdog combo every time we go! lol. I dont smuggle stuff into the theatre, though it is expensive as hell - I dont want to worry about picking up food before going in. I just go to enjoy myself and not give a crap about money, or calories.

    When I was younger, I would smuggle in a smoothie from planet smoothie. Lol...there was one right next to the movies and I made sure to bring a tall purse. :)



    Now, my husband and I just get a popcorn and share or I get sour patch kids.

    I smuggle all my goodies to the movies (huge bags of chips, candy, chocolate, soda, slurpies, etc)
    Once my friends and I brought gyros and tacos. LOL.
    Now, the only thing I smuggle is a large bottle of water. -sigh-

    we bring my big purse and have those one serving popcorns already popped, liquorish and water bottles when I go to the movies. its tempting to eat everything with butter on it once you walk into the place but I feel more in control when I have my stuff already in my bag. :drinker: of course that was up north, now that I am in floriduh I am not sure about going to a movie theatre there might be some weird old man trying to shoot at us. uggg
