We all love watching movies and we have our own favorites, either Comedy, Action, Suspense/Thriller, Romance, etc. In any kind of movie we watch we have "watching habits" like some prefer to watch at the last row, some cannot watch a movie alone and some should have something munch while watching to enjoy the movie. Are you one of those? Do you like to Eat Popcorn or Snacks while watching a Movie?

That's a unique combination. I usually just have soda or juice. Next time i'll try it with hot chocolate, I am sure that would help keep me warm too. I love popcorn specially the flavored ones. White cheese, cheese, butter, sour cream etc there are so many to choose from! =)

My husband and I bring popcorn and drinks inside the theater. Thing is, before the movie even starts, we've already finished eating. Hahaha! I don't know, the moment I plop into my seat, I begin to munch the food I have. I think it's a good thing for me, at least I don't get distracted with my munching if I'm watching a movie that relies much on the dialogues. There's no replay when in the cinema...

I know what you mean, it seems like I can't stop getting popcorn one after the other too. Eating can be distracting too when the movie has so many twists and turns but somehow watching a movie is not complete without it, hahaha. =)

Me too but most of the time when I am sharing it with someone. Popcorn or chips with salsa and cheese (yum!) with juice or soda. I agree, I also need to control what I eat so I won't gain weight. I do not go to the gym, I prefer to walk or keep myself busy. Somehow, exercise is not really effective for me in losing weight. I feel like I gain more, so I prefer to just diet or cut my sugar intake. I know, dieting can be hard specially when there are parties, reunions to get togethers.

I love to have popcorn while at the theater. Movie theater popcorn is the best. The butter and popcorn salt is the best!

Yes I agree, specially now they also offer other flavors like white cheese which I love. The classic favors like the butter and salt is also one of my favorites. The scent of popping popcorns while at the movie theater is really tempting and makes me crave for it. Watching a movie for me is not complete without popcorn or nachos. It can really make a lot of difference for me. I'm glad we share the same love for popcorn. =)

I always eat chips and nuts when watching a movie. Some of the movies turn out to be boring and it's better if you have something to munch on so we won't fall asleep.

That's a good tip. I also like eating in movie theaters because it completes my movie experience. For me it's usually popcorn or nachos with soda. I think the smell of popping popcorn while waiting for the movie to start or while in line also contributes to this craving. You're right, when a movie turns out to be boring the snacks really helps a lot keep me awake. =)

No,I'm not that kind.When I feel boring/sleepy I'll do some biking in my exerciser cycle.I will tell an easy way to avoid such habits. Tips to avoid it. 1.Stop the habit of eating in living room/restrict it to your kitchen table. 2.Eat your meal just before your favorite TV show. 3.Drink water. 4.Avoid commercials especially of food items(change the channel/read some magazine) 5.Exercising is a good way to stay busy as you watch TV. 6.Keep your junk foods away(hard-to-reach places).I mean keep your healthy food items in highly visible areas. 7.Keep thinking of your favorite actor/tress who maintains a good shape.

You have real control of your diet. Only a few, i think, has the motivation to stick to a good diet and healthy lifestyle. I try to control my diet too but sometimes (oftentimes) I also give in. It's specially hard when you're with someone who loves to eat and is not that active. Parties and get togethers do not help either. Right now, I think I am good at #3 but the rest I need to work on. Good job! =)

I haven't been out to a theater in a good ling while. Having a big bag of pop corn on hand was a must. I was always surprised that I never managed to finish the thing off half way though the flick. I sat through a viewing of Water World. I'm probably one of the few people in the world who didn't pan that movie into the ground, but didn't like it well enough to become engrossed by any means. I think they put little people under the seats to give you free refills of soda and snacks when you aren't looking. I don't eat pop corn while watching movies at home. I'm in the middle of an on and off health kick. I find trail mix to be a decent enough alternative.

I like sitting down with a good bowl of popcorn and watching a good movie in my PJ's.... I like to be comfortable in my home movie...... Alot of people like going to the movies but I much rather buy off of PPV and watch in my own home.

I think watching a movie would not be complete without snacks- in theaters or even just watching at home. It's been a habit already.

Yes, Yes and Yes again. I am a snacker when it comes to watching movies. We have a weekly movie night at home with my husband and the kids. WE always make a big pallet of blankets on the ground, and then here comes the snacks. I make bowls of popcorn, we all love pickles, drinks and then we all have our own favorite candy to munch on. I prefer chocalate to counter the salty popcorn, the kids love gummy bears and worms and my husband loves it all lol. And its the same way when we go to the movies. My mom use to do it this way with me and my brothers so i think I just carried on the tradition.

not really. When I'm watching a movie I'll normally jus watch it or sometimes "multi-task" and text or use my laptop while Im watch it, if I'm alone. Or if my friends are with me, it makes the movie 10 times better hahah. but yeah I almost never eat popcorn unless im at the movie theaters. :)

Well, I associate watching movies with eating. I would usually bring with me popcorn/nachos/fries or at times the whole snack itself when i watch movies. I can't remember a time I don't have food with me while watching movie. It feels like munching something while watching a good movie with a good company. I notice that most movie goers do the same thing too.

Not in theaters. I don't like how fatty and oily their popcorn is, so I never get any when I'm at the movie theater. When I'm at home watching movies, I'll make myself a bag of popcorn. I really love home popcorn, and watching movies while I eat it.

Popcorn is a must for me when I watch movies, I start eating it when they start showing trailers. There was also this time when my friends and I were watching a horror film, and I really could not take it, then I realized we didn't have popcorn. What I did was I got up, in the middle of the movie, and bought popcorn, and used it as an excuse to not watch the movie. Sadly it didn't work coz it turns out, the movie was longer than I expected.
