Snacking At The Movie Theater????

When we go to the movies we treat ourselves to popcorn, ice cream, chocolate peanuts and drinks. If I am really hungry nachos as well LOL I know we are consuming a large amount of calories but it's hard not to snack while watching a movie.

Rozie, I just had popcorn at the movies the other day. I did not eat just a little bit I ate a lot. I did not buy it a friend did. She bought a large tub and then split it. The trouble with that is if you buy a large tub you get refills and she did. I did not have any of the refills. We took my nephew to see the starwars movie that just came out. I am not a star wars fan but the animation and story was good. I enjoyed myself.

I am terrible about this- I always get Popcorn (with extra butter) and a bag of candy with raisinettes, hot tamales, and Swedish fish.

Hi Rozie dear! OMG, the popcorn is one of my favorite movie snacks and it has the greatest amount of calories. I am just glad that I really don't like watching in movie theaters and have been watching movies only at home. And because of that, I don;t really have any snacks or sometimes if my husband would ask for one, we usually just have a sandwich and pineapple juice. Take care always..God Bless!

Hubby and I take our own drinks in when we go and only buy popcorn. We can't afford their ridiculous prices so we don't buy them. They don't know about our bringing in our own drinks for we hide them in my purse or in a jacket that I carry inside. lol

Sadly, it has been many years since I managed to actually go and see a movie at the cinemas. Kids tend to do that to you, especially when they are still too young to sit still for long enough to take them with you. When I did go to the movies, I used to take my own snacks along, like more healthy foods, but I usually also bought popcorn and a drink and maybe and ice cream to have during the movie. Popcorn is actually a much healthier alternative to chips and I think tastes better too. Ever since I've been responsible for myself (since moving out of home at 16), I have always tried to make sure my diet has been healthy and as balanced as possible. Going to the movies was always a treat, so having the junk foods that went with the movie was a treat too, and it didn't happen all that often, maybe 7 times since I've left the nest. I think that healthier food options should be offered that the movies too. Things like salad sticks with dips, those sandwiches that catering companies make, mineral waters, frozen yoghurt's etc etc etc. There are lots of good healthy foods that could supplement the junk foods that are currently sold.

I generally do not snack. Except tonight, and it is on a movie theater sized box of candy. I am not even going to think about the calories. I will do yard work instead, tomorrow. I chose what I did to get the same flavors as something else that I was certain to overindulge with. It is good to think about the fact that going to the movies is a sedentary activity, and then we have the option of piling a ton of junk on top of that. We might as well just use super glue and plaster it on our belly and butt.

When i go to the mall i really like to go watch movies. And when i watch movies i want to eat something. I usually buy popcorn or fries with a soda or juice inside the movie house to satisfy my cravings.

I have never taken goodies/snacks to the theater. I have always bought them there. I always will buy a large popcorn, large or x-large pop and usually something else. I have never actually sat there and paid attention to it as really I don't really care. I can do extra laps in the pool or miss a snack later on. You only live once so why not do and have what you like.
