There's nothing like movie theatre popcorn, with that hot oil... I mean melted butter (flavoring) added. It's a disgrace to spend $10 for $.25 worth of popcorn, but it's oh, so good!
My favorite is hot buttered popcorn and snow caps. Now I'm too cheap to splurge on the snacks so we usually pack a snack bag and bring in water. Of course I'm also too cheap to buy a movie theater ticket. I can wait for a DVD to rent and have snacks and intermissions at home, lol.
Back when I didn't have to take out a loan to go to a movie, I loved popcorn, a big coke and Twizzlers or snocaps.
I never got people who bought hot dogs and nachos to eat at a movie. Too messy.
Now I am more inclined to watch a movie on dvd. That way no one is talking , kicking the back of my seat and I don't spend a fortune on the popcorn. Also I can watch the movie in my comfortable pjs.
I used to like a big pickle, but now I prefer nachos, unless they are prepackaged.
Actually, my nearest theatre has full kitchen with waitstaff, so I usually get the grilled hot dog with onion rings. It's excellent! They also have salads, pizza, sandwiches, entrees, desserts, full bar..

I so agree. I can't remember the last movie I saw in a theater. We recently upgraded our TV. Now with a large LCD TV with a good surround sound system? PJ's and a glass of wine for me! Whole family can watch a movie for less than the cost of 1 ticket to a movie theater. No sticky floors, tall people sitting in front of me or people talking or texting throughout the movie. If I need to use the restroom, there's a pause button. Perfect!

I have to admit, I rarely go to the theater myself. I get impatient with people talking and big heads in front of me. When I lived in Los Angeles, it costs $13 and you had to sit through 30 minutes (no joke) of commercials before the main feature started. Now I rent Netflix movies and watch them on my computer.
Snowcaps! Oh my gosh, they are so good. I really like the larger sized ones but the minis will do in a pinch. And a Coke. Perfect.
My husbands co-worker used to work in a movie theater and she told him to not eat the popcorn. Didn't say why, just some gross stuff going on there, I guess.
I also like to bring my own snacks. It's way too expensive to buy stuff at the theater.
that's what we do....a few times though, we filled those bottles of water up with wine LOL
Off topic but I just noticed that your birthday is June 9 mine is the day before
