Anyone ever stop by the theatre just for snacks ? The theatre by my house had a take home deal. Two huge slices of pizza big bag of popcorn two drinks and a bag of candy. Perfect for movie night at home!
shareAfter working at a theatre I kind of hate popcorn, but we used to get people stopping in all the time just for a bag.
shareToo expensive. If I had the kind of money where it didn't matter to me, I might have, I guess.
shareThat's ingenious of them.
Nope, nearest theatre isn't that near and they probably only have the usual popcorn and boxes of candy.
I live across the street from a multiplex and the smallest bag of popcorn is $5. I'll occasionally splurge on that because my secret indulgence is movie theater fake butter. I always ask for extra.
shareNo, never
Gas station hot dogs on those twirly machines are pretty good with a bag of chips👍
I once was casually chatting with a buddy on the phone and asked what he was doing for lunch. He said, buying a super chili dog at 7/11. I was a bit stunned. The way he said it made me figure this was normal for him, so I tried to suggest this didn't sound very healthy -- but his subsequent angioplasty and stent spoke louder.
shareStents..We don't need no stinking stents!
sharewhy is cinema popcorn so expensive?
shareIt’s hot and fresh with rich creamery butter
shareBecause concessions is where theaters make their money. Except for movies with long runs they don’t make much from the movie itself since most of that money goes to the studios for the first few weeks.
shareConcerning candy, you can buy the same box of Milk Duds at the $1 store or pay well over $4 at the movies. I don't know how this model sustains itself.
sharejust make your own popcorn and buy the rest at a convenience store.
