It is likely that you will eat some snacks when you are watching a movie. We are a little different. Usually when my husband and I go to see a movie together, we won't eat anything and we just watch the movie. It seems that we don't have a break to eat something:)

First I have to say that I watch a movie at home online or TV. I don't usually snacks while watching a movie because I need to fix my attention to the movie for a better enjoyment.

I'd go for sandwiches at times, together with drinks like Iced tea or soda. Sometimes, I also bring along some snack, like chips or curls to much on while watching a movie. But there are times that I already eat at restaurants before going inside a movie theater, so most probably I only worry about drinks.

Back in the 80's when it didn't take 20.00 to pay for popcorn and a drink,we would get popcorn before the movie but we would eat it before the movie started. These days , we don't get any popcorn because it is too expensive.At home,it depends on the time of day. If it is dinner time or I want a snack.I'll eat. If not, I won't.Thankfully to microwave popcorn, I can have the popcorn without the movie.

Here, you are allowed to bring outside food into the theater.That doesn't stop people from trying to sneak it in. My favorite movie house is in a mall that has a great food court. so the last film I saw, I didn't eat during the film, I ate after the film.

we generally dont go out to see a movie, because it is much too expensive, but when we watch a movie at home (whether it is rented [which we do sometimes] borrowed [from the library or relatives] or one that we have, we buy popcorn kernals and make a large pot of popcorn.

Everytime I go to the movies I always get a drink and a popcorn.. I always complain bout the prices, but to me going to the movies without getting that stuff, just isn't going to the movies. But I dont feel like I am missing anything if im getting a drink or anything. Since I get it before the movie starts, I usually even get it before the previews even start. :)

When I was little my mom use to sneak bottle soda or gatorade in with us. She would also take little plastic bags of popcorn with us too and pretzels. So I guess you could sneak it in.

Most of the time. Whenever my husband and I watch a movie, it is always best when we are munching on something. In a movie theater, there is really a vast variety of snacks that we can buy near the theater. Or even just at home, when watching a movie on dvd, we gladly anticipate with eating something, usually munching on junkfoods, dipped in vinegar.(:

Normally I don't.
2 reasons. The first is that the cinemas here restrict the kind of food we can bring in. They only allow food bought at their counters to be brought in. Believe you not, if you are seen carrying a packet of macs fries, they will stop your way (how can they do this?!!!).
That really brings me to the second reasons. They only sell popcorns and hotdogs and maybe taco so not many choices there.
I don't really like popcorns because crunching them makes a lot of noise and I feel it disturbs others who are watching the movies - not to mention it makes my fingers sticky.
As for taco and hotdogs, I do not need to bring them in lol... I can swallow them in one slurp. :P
