Popcorn at movies- What's your take?
    #9933257 - 03/08/09 12:37 PM (15 years, 24 days ago)

I used to love eating popcorn at movies, especially at exciting films like The Dark Knight or when I am really high. But lately I am thinking popcorn isn't worth the money- especially since I always have to buy a drink with it. It ends up costing not far from 20 bucks just for movie food.  On top of that the economy is terrible and I remember reading that a small bag of popcorn has around 30 grams of fat or something , which is insane.

what is your take on buying popcorn these days?

I am always tempted when I am high, but I think I may stop getting popcorn because it is so damn expensive and I can sneak a small snack that is healthier in instead.

I was just thinking about this 5 minutes ago.  I invited my friend to go to Watchmen later and I realized I haven't eaten popcorn at the theater in over 5 years.  :omgz:  I think I owe it to myself if we go later.

i don't go to the movies.

i also don't like popcorn taste wise

never have

also,

cats don't like popcorn.  FACT.

My vote is that if you must eat popcorn and see a movie, buy some from the grocery store, and stream the movie at home.

I don't buy food or drink anymore at the theater, it's like, I can wait two hours, go to Del Taco, and get 6 six taco's for the price of one bag of popcorn.

It's good when it's dripping in butter.  I remember when I first discovered putting butter (or butter simulation) on top of a big bag of popcorn.  It's delightful to the tastbuds, and your pallet is easily cleansed with a wash of your favorite sugary cola.  :awesome:

I feel your pain man. To popcorn or not to popcorn? My friends and I have found a solution to our problem. When we do is we get a tub of popcorn and a cup of soda out of the trash, wash them, and get refills. We call it crime corn and jail drink. Technically it's not stealing, think of it as taking advantage of someone else's unused refills.

I'm constantly strapped for cash, so it helps out. It's gotten pretty bad though, to the point I've done it on dates.

Yeah I usually just watch a cam or screener.  I'm more in it for the story than the effects anyway.  I've more money to blow lately though so I figure why not?

I go to the movies like twice, three times a year, so fuck yeah to large butter popcorn and a soda. Back when I was in high school and went more often, I wouldn't usually buy food.

The trick is to get a bucket with five of your friends or so -- the cost is minimal and in the unlikely event that you eat it all, there are typically free refills.

Still, it's a rip-off if you go regularly.

I sneak mounds of food into the movie theater.

I'm like a chocolate ninja.

I love movie popcorn.  For me, going to the movies is like going to a nice restaurant.  I just say "fuck it", and know beforehand I'm going to spend a crapload of money.  I don't even keep a tally.
