    Nothing; the food is overpriced and I don't want to waste my calories on movie food.

    If I was in some random situation though where I'd actually need a snack mid-movie, I would probably smuggle in some chocolate, nuts, or a protein bar, and a bottle of water in my purse. Embarrassing but I am THAT lady who carries an empty bottle in her purse on road trips and fills it up in random restrooms along the way LOL

    Rather than spend the money (and calories) on concession stand junk I would rather go out for Thai beforehand or grab ice cream following the movie like someone else mentioned :-)

    at least two buckets of the "refill" size popcorn (super large) and a large soda.

    It's just financially sound

    Going to movies with friends and don't want to eat my whole day of calories when I'm there. Suggestions please what are my best choices to eat at the movies....?

    I don't eat or drink anything at the movies.

    I usually get "buttered" popcorn, sour patches and an icee

    This. Movies are one of those sacred places that have traditions that go beyond eating healthy.

    And if you get the large popcorn you get a refill.

    Score.

    I always take an Atkins endulgence bar with me to the movies. I buy a bottle of water and enjoy the movie.

    Nothing - If I drink something I am going to have to pee half way through and I don't like to miss a second of the movie and I just don't see the necessity of eating during the movie. I would rather go to dinner before or after.

    i usually take some nonpareils from CVS and a cherry coke zero or something. if im looking for some salty snacks, i'll go with popcorn from the theater, but butter must be applied in the middle AND on top...and liberally salted.

    edit: i should have prefaced with i dont go to the movies. my entertainment set up is just fine, and i can pause it when i have to poop and/or get more wings.

    I did bring an apple in once. Bad choice. The acoustical properties of the auditorium made it really loud.

    And I brought a Mello Yello Zero 20oz which was promptly spotted by a theater clerk. He said there were no outside drinks and I could pick it up at will-call, so knowing it would get warm and go flat, I chugged the rest and handed him the empty bottle and said thanks.

    People with kids, yes. I'd never see a movie for myself when there's a perfectly good PirateBay on the internets

    I like to eat sloppy chicken wings and suck on the bones really really loudly.
