Movie Munchies
 

What are your favorite overpriced foods at theatre? The tiny hot dogs? The deadly butter-smothered popcorn? The Icee?

Not only that, what foods do you munch on while watching movies at home, on your PC or on the television?

I'd say popcorn's my movie staple food.

I usually have butter-smothered popcorn along with an Icee. Simple but effective.

Popcorn. Popcorn with a lot of butter on it.

I do enjoy the basic uber-buttery popcorn, with large Coke (orange soda if possible, but this is a rarity). Sometimes, I'll get candy, and it would usually either be Twizzlers or Skittles.

At the movies I'll usually get popcorn or nachos, something to drink, and any kind of chocolate candy (usually Butterfinger BBs or Buncha Crunch). At home though, I usually don't eat anything at all while watching movies, especially if I'm watching something for the first time. If I do eat something, it'll just be whatever is around the house, like chips or cookies or something.

Currently, I guess, I'd have to say my favorite movie munchie is popcorn with melted butter and cheddar salt. It used to be a Crunch bar, but then the local theater shifted to Buncha Crunch.

At home, we lack the creamy, warm melted butter. So, the popcorn is butterless.

I used to like extremely buttery popcorn, but now I like lightly buttered popcorn. Generally, when I go to a movie theatre, I only buy popcorn and a drink--the drink varies: sometimes, coke; other times, sprite (or whatever else the theatre has). If I'm feeling particularly ambitious, I'll get some sort of candy that the movie theatre sells. (That case also occurring in the presence of extra money.)

I usually eat popcorn. I tried the "lots of butter" kinda and ended up choking on all the excess butter. I prefer nachos and soda. I can't eat candy.

A Medium Cherry Coke. Everytime.

I don't feel like wasting more than $5 at the movies anyway, so why not? Our movie theater offers free refils anyway, so i'm getting a good deal here.

I usually don't have popcorn... Only if someone else paid for it. I'm such a cheap ass.

I have recently come to love Kettle Corn - it's like popcorn that is cooked with sugar so it has a lightly sweet flavour. Really very tasty. I don't like butter, though, so I prefer plain and salted over buttered.

As far as movie candies go, those little minty nonpareils are my favourite. I can't remember the brand name at the moment.

I'll usually buy a popcorn or a sour patch kids' with a soda.

When Tails and I went to the movies we had popcorn and soda.

Wie romantisch!

Double Post:
Oh yeah just would like to say I think everything movie theaters sell tastes like shit.

^ Fully agreed that it tastes horrible. I don't go to the movies often, but when I do I'll normally sneak a candy bar or something like that in. The nice insanely buttered popcorn bit was my thing for a while until I was forced to move and now I can't find a place that does it decently.

The nothing worse than going to the cinema only to be constantly interrupted by idiots going through bags of potato chips or (paper) bags of sweets. Happens all too often.

I usually don't eat anything at the cinema. Perhaps I'll have a can of soda or something but that's pretty much it.

I have a small town of about 40k people and know a lot of people, including most workers at both theatres. Fortunately, they don't give a damn if I bring anything in, so my stealth ended a while ago. I found a good, long-lasting combination to be a box of Buncha Crunch, Raisinettes (think I spelled it right), and a king size orange soda from McDonalds.

They stopped selling Buncha Crunch at the theatres here, but I would always get that. I don't order popcorn while at the movies since I don't often finish it. I did find the nachos good despite the price.

Right there is what I usually always get at the movies.

Though if I have a bit of extra cash, I may buy some nachos (but they're always so damn expensive...)

When I go out to the cinemas I munch on pop corn and nachos. But when I'm at home watching a film I eat pizza.

At the theatre I usually take some pop corn or chips. At home I usually stick to cookies or anything with chocolate... I adooooooore chocolate.

Popcorn with butter taste.
Chips are too fatty, and they are too filling, if you know what I mean.
Also, Popcorn goes great with Pepsi!

Nothing.

Who the hell would pay $6 for popcorn at a theater.

I usually just sneak in a bowl of rice.

I usually go for the popcorn, and I always pour in some salt, as if that super-buttery popcorn wasn't unhealthy enough. It's a good thing that I don't go to the movies often! As much as I hate getting ripped off over a cup of ridiculously over-priced pop, I usually end up getting some as well, since I need something to rinse down that salty, buttery treat.

good ol' popcorn when watching movies. at the theaters though everything is overpriced so nothing.

The theater here doesn't have much of a choice with snacks. I usually get blue Sour Straws and a large coke. The sad thing is, buying those two things cost more than the tickets themselves which are around 7.50

My favorites are buttered popcorn, Junior Mints, and Cherry Coke.

A couple strips of beef jerky, and I'm golden. Oh, and did anyone mention yet that the "butter" in theater popcorn is largely composed of hydrogenated soybean oil :(.

I usualy get either Popcorn or Junior Mints for 'food'. As for the drink, either root beer, Dr. Pepper or Sprite.

Always the Icee (coke flavor) and a small size Popcorn (not too much butter).

Sometimes the bite-size chocolate stuff. ^^

movie snacks are to expensive, I just smuggle in a bag of chips and some gatoraid in my backpack.

Crap. I went to see Date Movie Yesterday, I had a box of Bottlecaps, and after the movie about half the box was gone. I never felt so bloated in my life.

I only ever eat nachos at the cinema, if anything. I never liked popcorn. Sometimes I'll get a drink too but I try not to because I hate going to the toilet half way through a film. :(

Ill take the deadly butter smothered popcorn for 300 please, but seriously Ill eat anything while watching a movie, even dinner, however my most favourite snack for movies is chips, dill pickle, ketchup, or salt & Vinegar will do just fine ... ~_^

I don't usually get popcorn unless I'm sharing it with someone else, for the sake of finishing all of it. Other than that I just pick up a box of Sour Patch Kids or Sour Gummi Worms and a Coke to top it all off.

Mr. Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy delicious.

The above combo can only be used when seeing The Chronicles of Narnia


haha

Popcorn would be my food of choice for any movie or when I'm on the computer or playing video games. Occasionally I switch it up by eating some honey roasted Planter's peanuts. I just like salty foods in general.

I was never a big fan of popcorn. If it wasn't so damn expensive, I would go with the pretzel bites or the nachos. When the snack costs more than the ticket, screw that.
