I dont like to buy popcorn and soft drinks in the cinema, because usually the price of food or snacks in cinema is twice than the regular price. My friends always buy popcorn and soft drink, but i dont. I dont like to eat and drink inside the cinema, it makes me easily go to comfort room or toilet, and i will leave the room theater for at least 5 minutes or more, because many girls are waiting in line in the toilet... arggg!!! If i leave at least 5-10 minutes, i already pass some scenes that maybe really important to understand the whole movie... and you paid already for the ticket that makes you watch the whole story...!!! arggggghhh!!! Better not eat and drink inside the theater... that is why i always avoid to buy popcorn or other snack and drinks...
How about you? Did you experience it also?

Every once in a while i'll buy popcorn and drink when i go see a movie. But it always cost too much, an extra 8-10 dollars on top of the $8 i just paid for the movie ticket. And I really dont go to the movies that much because of the rising prices and just because of the fact that they dont make movies as good as they use to.

Yeah, the prices are rediculous. Not only is it extremely expensive to go see a movie these days but the prices of the beverages and snacks are through the roof. It's rediculous! I'm sorry but sometimes I sneak food in. What do they expect when they make their prices so high?

I never buy it because I agree it's way to overpriced. Whenever I go to movies I get my huge tote bag and any snack or drink that anyone wants to bring I take in for them. I think it looks really obvious but I have never gotten caught. One of my friends got away with sneaking a whole cheesecake into the movie lol. I always go to the bathroom before the movie and I try not to drink too much because otherwise I end up having to hold my bladder the whole movie and that's no fun.

No, we never buy popcorn. It's expensive and greasy. It's easy enough to go for a couple of hours without food, and then we spend the money somewhere else and go out for food after the movie. Last time I went to a movie, I noticed that the regular sized pop and popcorn cost more than the movie admission price!

i eat snacks inside the cinema but i am not fond of eating popcorns. I just dont drink to much so that i will not pee during the movie.

Not always. I'd buy the drinks there, sometimes, but a majority of the time I always smuggle in my own drink. As for the popcorn, I stopped buying it because nobody ever finishes it. I always end up bringing it home with me. Plus, the price is ridiculous. Just the other day, my sister and I went to the movies and we bought a large popcorn and soda and the price came out to be $10.50. It was the same amount we paid for both of our movie tickets.

if i buy popcorn, i get a kids pack. its usually $5 for a drink, popcorn, and a candy (sometimes a big one).
yeah, not cheap but i do not do it everytime so i allow a splurge once in awhile!

For me, Movie Theatre + popcorn + Beng-beng chocolate + and Cocacola, It's a prefect combination that cannot be separated.
You still can buy them out side the Theatre and hide it in your bag, if you want, i do that sometimes. No body will know. heheheh

I don't always buy popcorn. I enjoy munching chips than popcorn. And there was one time when I did buy popcorn and the corn kernel's shell got stuck in my throat. It was so painful. I wasn't able to enjoy the movie because of it. I never bought popcorn again.

I don't usua;;y because the food is so expensive and the
price keeps going up. The ticket prices are expensive also so something has to give. I just heard on tv the price is going up.
