This is a common practice among most of them watching movies. Some of my friends eat a lot in home too. Even for kids, we sometimes show pogo and some animation movies so that they eat fast and take the complete food. When it comes to me i do have some snacks but not much. I eat little when i feel hungry and nothing more than that. I do eat rarely in cinema halls as it is very costly and snacks usually are not good for health. All my friends and cousins eat lots of snacks like chips, cool drinks, burgers, ice creams and many more during the interval. Share your thoughts on the same.

Whenever we watch movies inside the theater, the entire family prefers to be munching on popcorn, chips and even burgers with soda. It makes you unwind more and really get to enjoy what you were viewing at the time. Don't drink too many soda though because it will prompt you to take a leak while the movie is reaching a climactic episode.

Yes I do. All the time. Its just like watching TV at home. The only difference its screen size. 
Seriously I do eat snacks while watching movies. Probably not because I'm hungry, but just to enjoy nibbling and chewing something enjoyable inside my mouth and at the same time, enjoying the movie too.

I like eating snacks while watching movies like pop corn etc. In movie theaters i relatively have less snacks compared to having snacks while watching movies on tv at home.

I too have seen that in most homes children watch TV and eat, mine did that too...I am not sure if it is good or bad. I myself do that at times. But I hate to nibble and eat snacks while watching TV , because it becomes a habit which I hate. I do have something to drink though Tea or Coffee, sometimes or a glass of water...All the best and happy mylotting

Everyone likes to hav something while they watch a movie on the television but this is not good for health .It can cause over weight.

It is indeed more enjoying and satisfying to eat while watching movies - and with friends. I rarely go to cinema halls but when I did, I always want popcorn. When at home, I'd still prefer eating chips than meals or else I'm unable to concentrate on the movie I'm watching.

Instead of the usual popcorn, hot-dog, and soda combination that people often bring into movie theaters to snack on, I would bring my own snack from home or from somewhere else which is usually just a box packed with chicken popcorn and nuggets. I don't buy drinks too since I don't like having to get up and look for a bathroom thus missing may be important parts of the movie.

yes a popcorn while watching movie is the best especially here in the philippines, like when you go to movie house its always the routine of every viewer to buy popcorn or if not some other food as long as your eating while watching a movie it completes our movie experience...

Whenever there is a chance, yes, I do eat while watching a movie. Funny thing is, we do not have junk food stored in our fridge. So, I really don't feel like eating those kind of foods (the ones in our fridge) while watching movies.
Sometimes though I sneak a pack or two when going to the grocery so I have something munch on while I watch a movie.

movies often last close to two hours and i have this habit of watching them around the time i snack in the afternoon so i always bring munchies with me. i'm a pretty traditional movie theater-muncher, normally i just bring whatever's available in the concession stand, like chocolates, popcorn, potato chips, nachos and soda or bottled water. i try not to drink a lot though because i keep on having to go to the loo.

I'm sure that i keep eating from the beginning of the film to the end. I enjoy such feeling to eating while watching. But i always pay attention to avoiding making noises when i'm eating. Keep silence and do not effect others around you.

When I go the theater it's my day to splurge on everything, from the cost of the movie to the cost of the large popcorn I share with everyone that is there that day with me. When I watch a movie at home, I will have my water and maybe a bag full of chips or something. It's hard to go to the movies and not get popcorn when it smells so good, that's how they sucker you into buying it! At least, this is how I feel about it.
