Do you always get popcorn at the movies?

When you go to see a film, do you always get popcorn? How about a drink? I was just wondering what everyone's preferences were. Do you think you have changed any of your habits because of the position of the economy? Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see what you have to say!

We have not gone to the movies in years as it's costly and not family friendly for families with small children or easy on the budget. When we did go before we had kids I always snuck snacks in my oversized purse. I can't see paying what they want for popcorn that costs them pennies... it just doesn't make sense to charge the prices they charge.

I never have the popcorn at all. And I think it is special right of the ladies to have it. For men, it's not a good habit to get the popcorn but I'd like to bring it and give it to my GF.LOL---

I better to choose a potato snack than popcorn. It taste more delicious. But I usually not eat anything when see the movie. Beside it make me thirsty and dirtying my hand. So it make me not concentrate watching the movie. But for drink, I will choose a mineral water and always bring into the theater. Because there is a wise word. We can stay a live without food but we will die when water is gone. Keep post happy myLotting...

I think i only had popcorn once when me and my girlfriend went out to watch a movie. I usually want to eat sandwiches like ham, tuna, chicken with pineapple or orange juice. Popcorn can be messy at times so i want something that is easy to eat. I usually buy Dunkin Donuts hehe. They're my favorites. Canned drinks are not allowed in moviehouses here maybe that's why i prefer drinking juice.

I love getting popcorn at a movie! A drink too. I don't go to the movies as much as I used to because I am cutting back but if I went I would be sure to get some.

When I goes to a movie I will usually get popcorns for my kids, as for me I don't really like popcorn. I will get a drink for myself.

I usually have to really want the popcorn to buy it because it is so expensive. Unfortunately it has always been that way so the economy hasn't really changed it. However, I do go to the movies less because of it. The theaters charge way too much for cheap snacks and drinks which has always bugged me. They should be a bit more reasonable, but I guess they won't as long as people continue to buy despite the high prices.

When I go to see a film with my son, I always buy popcorn for him. For me, sometimes I bought an ice cream or a bottle of mineral water or simply nothing. Good luck and happy mylotting.

I go to movies a few times a year with my friends. Usuall because it is expensive we get a large and split it. To me a movie isn't a movie without popcorn. At least when you see one at a theater.

Yes. And I don't know why. I am used to it... When I am going to see a film, I see to it that I have a bucket of popcorn and L Carnitine Drink.
