    Movie Theater Snacks

    Just wondering what you guys like to eat when you go to the movie theater.... one of the reasons for this question is... a friend of mine just moved to California and mentioned that they do not sell pickles at the movie theater .


    i get popcorn, pickle, m&ms, and mr pibb

    A margarita or a rum and diet coke.

    I have never seen pickles at the movie theaters here in So. Cal, but I sure wouldn't complain!

    I LOVE pickles!

    If I'm getting food, I like nachos usually. Occasionally candy of some sort, but ALWAYS a soda.

    I have never seen pickles at the movies, but I love 'em.

    I stuff my purse now, it's gotten too expensive. $16.00 for 1 large popcorn and 2 sodas.

    First, I have to rob a bank to be able to afford all of the yummies .
    I need popcorn, diet whatever, and Jr. Mints!! I'm sure that's about $15 not including the movie ticket . If I hit the store prior to going I can sneak in the Jr. Mints and diet whatever, but I HAVE to have movie popcorn...with extra butter....yummy

    No pickles here...Usually nachos, pizza, popcorn, pretzels, and the 10.00 boxes of candy....for a family of four to go to the movies and get soda, snacks, etc. you are looking at 100.00

    Yeah, I said I wouldn't buy the popcorn anymore, and when we went last time the smell hit me at the door and it was all over. I SWEAR they are venting the smell thru the air shafts.

    I've never been in a movie theater that serves alcohol, ich. I'd probably be drinkin' a margarita myself if I was!

    I used to enjoy movie theater popcorn, and still every once in a GREAT while will have some. But when I worked the concession stand at our local theater, just after my daughter was born, and would come home with my hands DYED yellow from the popcorn salt they put in it...Yeah...kinda turned me on it for a while.

    If I were to purchase movie food at the theater I would get nice big ole soda popcorn and some reese pieces.

    BUT since I am never in the mood to sell a kidney on the black market in order to afford said food---i have and will continue to sneak in sodas, dollar menu items from mcdonalds or wendys and on Thanksgiving of this past year I even brought in a nice rubber maid container with turkey, potatoes and all the fixins--even a piece of pie.
    YUMMY

    I have VERY good knowledge that Blockbuster sells the SAME EXACT candy that the movie theater does, size and all...for a MUCH cheaper price.

    Large Popcorn with butter, Large Coke, and Maybe Jr Mints, Or Butterfinger.

    I don't know if there is any other states, but there is a Movie Theater that you can order a meal. The price is usually reasonable, It dinner and movie in one setting. They serve anything from pizza, chicken to steak. It's kinda of cool.

    There is a deal that you get a large popcorn and two large drinks at the theatre we usually go to (Rave). My dad always gets it!

    My significant other and I get the other drink, and that brat always demands Diet Coke. :|

    We have pickles here, by the way...

    We have something sort of like that, but really simple food. They have wait staff who take your order then bring it back, I think you can order beer too.

    Pickles at the movie theater? Never heard of it! Not that I would mind, I LOVE pickles, but...no, not here.

    What we DO have is Raisinettes...and that would be me eating them.

    Ich- we have a place called "Movie Tavern" here in Houston.. You should look it up and see if you have one. Its cheaper than the mall movies for sure, and you can buy a Big Assed Beer Mug and refill it for cheap every time you come. BOMB DIGGITY. They have pretty good eats too and unlimited popcorn. SWEET.

    We have pickles here. But I'm in Texas, hell our WalMart sells the big old Dixie pickles. I have a jar in my fridge as we speak. They are supa supa sour.

    My treat? Extra Butter pop corn, diet coke and sour patch kids. Hell, my mouth is watering thinking about it. I eat the kids and the corn at the same damn time. FLIPPIN GREAT. If I could get all reds and orange in a bag, Id be in heaven. Yellows and greens do not rawk my socks as much!

    When I lived in Calif, my friend and I would stop at 7-11 and get a couple of slurpees, bags of chips and sunflower seeds and sneak them in a backpack.

    And by the way, I LOVE Mt Olive Zesty Garlic Spears...drool.

    I'm a purist. Popcorn, no butter.

    I've never seen pickles in a theater, Iowa, New York, or Florida.

    Never saw pickles here either. I usually have just soda but I like the nachos. Also, any of the m&ms, reeses pieces, any small chocolate treat would be nice.

    Coke with lots of ice and buttered popcorn. These candy items I buy on the cheap at Walmart, totally addicted to Dots.

    It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

    Not for sure. Have not been back to Florida since the 60's. Wanna go back someday. They turned the dang USAF base I was born at into a airport.

    Does anyone still get hand jobs at theaters anymore? Maybe that's just a southern thing.

    I've had my share of handjobs at seedy theatres. The best one was an old theatre with a balcony on the near southside of Austin in an area that was in the process of being gentrified so no one cared that a fag sex place was operating in their midst. Some silly ethnic movie consisting of gangster Puerto Rican dudes with massive cocks fucking and sucking eachother in a tenement while moaning Yo Yo Yo Papi. This fucker had magic fingers. Magic sticky fingers when all was said and done.
