i have to have popcorn and a soft drink (preferably pepsi, but coke will do in a pinch) before i even think about sitting down watching a movie. there's just something about chomping down on movie theater popcorn and then washing it down with soda.
i don't know how it is elsewhere, but around here, when you order a small or medium drink, the counter person will say "for just a quarter more, you can have the next size drink". i usually say no thanks, because i figure they'll just fill it with more ice instead of liquid. LOL!!!

All of you are treating me to a sweet trip down candy memory lane. We used to bring Sugar Daddy's because they lasted through a double feature. ten cartoons,and an endless parade of coming attractions.But of course what really did it for me was during the summer when you would first walk in and that mixture of air conditioning and the smell of popcorn PA-RA-DISE

turquoise asked:
hey guys, why are they called 'concession' stands?????

perhaps because they want you to think you are getting some kind of concession. I read an article about Australian cinemas where the markup on food at cinemas is 258%

for me, im a Maltesers freak at the movies, normally the box because they dont melt like the ones in the bag do when holding them

We still have one lonely little drive-in here. I just saw Shrek there this past weekend. I love all that goes on before a movie at the drive-in. Kids playing tag, people getting out their cars to socialize. I'd much rather go to the drive-in.

For me, a movie isn't a movie without Skittles. The only time I eat them is at the movies.

Without chips and a good seat. Chips for eating something and a good seat to relax or fall asleep when the movie is that boring

I can't eat at the movies because the likelihood that the film is bad (especially over the past 10 years) has increased to the point that nausea may become a serious problem. The risks are too great, so eating during a film is out. God, was that cynical or what?

(By the way, nachos and a Sprite are good when you are feeling a little sick to your stomach!)

I ask for a large popcorn with layered butter, and extra butter on top. I also have to have a large coke, and that is all after I have been out to dinner.

I'm in with Gun on the Ju-Ju-Bes... they're a must.

Also, Coca-Cola... a large, lots of ice.

And a bucket of popcorn... slathered in extra butter AND extra salt.

That said, I don't go to movies that often any more... my butt falls asleep too quick these days.

Why does everyone like popcorn at the movies - not for me I loved the old Jersey Toffee, it got stuck in your teeth and to the roof of your mouth but it tasted absolutely delicious - why can't we buy it now! I remember kids rolling Jaffas down the aisles - there was no such thing as carpet on the floors. I can also remember the flickering sound of the projector (thats why we called the movies 'the flicks') and when the projector broke down all the kids would sing out 'put a penny in it'. I loved it. Bring back my childhood.
