    Try popcorn with no butter or salt! Kind of bland but you can eat all you want!

    I like popcorn with "I Can't Believe it's not Butter Spray". I like to eat popcorn with hot tamales, the cinnamon candy, it tastes like popcorn balls.

    Excellent ideas!! Yeah, the popcorn is bland at first, but after a couple bites you start to taste the natural sweetness.

    Right?! I haven't eaten anything on my popcorn in months, it's SO good plain if you get the good stuff. I buy kernels in bulk and pop it on the stovetop, SO SO SO much better than microwaved stuff. :smile:

    Well, first of all I love drive in movies and I so wish we had one close to me so I could go!
    Jelly Beans are about 100 calories in 1 serving which is about 25 jelly beans. I love Jelly Bellies
    sour patch kids are about 140 calories for 1 serving. (which is about 16 items)
    popcorn that you make yourself on the stove with no butter
    trail mix

    If you want to bring chocolate, I'd make it something small and individually wrapped, so you'll be less likely to overindulge: Hershey's kisses or miniatures are good.

    I grew up in a country that had neither a drive-in theater nor a movie theater so I thought it was a lot of fun to take my wife (RIP) and children to the movies. What has always struck me as odd, though, and I see that you've alluded to it, is that "at the drive in you stuff your face".

    Rather than listing off "yummy snacks", allow me to suggest that you take the opportunity to ingest zero calories and set a good example for your passengers by not eating anything.

    I agree! when I am home I love to munch on popcorn while watching a movie. But at the theatres I am so engrossed in the experience that I don't even think about eating!

    I can't see a movie without goodies! I can't see DWTS or IDOL without sum kinda snack! That would be a bummer....especially at the drive in! lol

    Ok these aren't probably the best choices, but these would be things I may take with me if I were going to the drive in......

    ..M&Ms with pretzels inside.(less calories than regular M&Ms)
    ..Beef Jerky (watch for sodium though)
    ..Fresh Fruit container (homemade or purchased) with cantelope, pineapple, apples, grapes, watermelon.....and fresh squeezed lemon juice on top and chili powder....wooooweeeee!!! Cut all bite sized so you can just munch away.
    ..rice crispy treats (but don't over do it)
    ..trailmix (don't over do it)
    ..crushed ice with ur favorite sugarfee drink.
    gives u something sweet to cruch on. :)

    What i would do to not feel so "guilty" is do sum extra exercise that day & eat a light breakfast & lunch. During intermission a little walk wouldn't be too bad either.

    Our drive in doesn't open for a few weeks so I'm kinda excited now that I saw your post, I cant wait to go again. :)

    I USED TO take little ceasars pizza, a ice chest full of soda pop, candy bars and homemade popcorn drenched in Orville Reddenbacher Butter flavored topping........so my new choices are a lot better than before. lol
