What do you like to snack on when you go to the movies? Ive noticed that everytime I go the the cinema these days that the price of the snacks there keep getting more and more expensive. Still, I do like to treat myself! My favourite things to eat in the cinema is M&Ms, or sometimes I get chocolate coated raisins. I'm not too keen on salted popcorn, which is all my local cinema has - I'd rather have really well covered toffee popcorn, namely Butterkist toffee.

We always get popcorn. Buttery, salty popcorny goodness! I tried chocolate covered gummy bears once at the movies. They didn't taste so good. I always bring my purse and inside I sneak twizzlers and m&m's! I can't pay the price for those snacks and buy a ticket! Movie prices are so expensive! And then the snacks! Outrageous!

Yikes, I have never heard of chocolate covered gummy bears. I like chocolate and I like gummy bears, but not together. I agree the prices are ridiculous. I pay as much or more for the snacks as I do for the tickets. Of course that’s because I just can't resist having the popcorn.

Hi! I like snacking on cheese flavored french fries. I think it's really yummy.

You should buy popcorn and Snocaps if they have them, and put the snocaps in your popcorn. That way you get the buttery popcorn plus a delightful chocolate taste every once in a while. I personally like getting some kind of gummies or Milk Duds that last longer. I hate running out of my snack in the middle of the movie. I also prefer not to get a drink so I don't have to go to the bathroom and miss the best part.

My most favorite when I go to a Theater has always been Hot Buttered Popcorn usually with extra butter. I always have to get a large tub, and then usually a large soda to drink to help swallow it down. It is a shame that it costs an arm and a leg anymore to get out for a night of relaxation like this, and miss the Good ole days for sure.

Well, when I am on a cinema with my family, top on the list is popcorn. It's not because popcorns are the ones readily available on the booth but because my child loves popcorn. Most especially the flavored ones. We usually go for the cheese flavor. Sometimes, I grab along a bag of peanuts on the sideline...

Hi, la_chique. I love to snack on a type of candy that is sour. I don't know the name of it. It is chewy, gummy candies in a pack. It tastes sweet and then sour. I love this type of snack. It is very expensive, but I love it. That is what I dislike the most about watching a movie, it is the expensiveness of the food and the drinks there.

I actually have gotten so that I don't really like anything they have at the concession stand, except the sodas... I like to go to Alamo Drafthouse and get a meal!

i prefer nothing or just water.. some of my friends like to have some fries or pop corn but that's messy for me. i just like to watch the movie. water or soda will do for me just in case i get thirsty but not a lot cause i don't wanna go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie of course.

To be honest I don’t venture to the cinema much these days partly because the cost of the tickets lets alone the snacks are too prohibitive and to be honest I like watching the movies in the comfort of my own home. The plus side of this is that I can sit down and watch a movie with a stack of toast and jam which is my current favourite movie watching snack. Although a month ago it would have been a bowl of dry rice crispies. I use to do the traditional thing of having popcorn and chocolate but got very bored of having the same thing over and over again.

I prefer to get soft drinks, with some chips.If not i prefer egg puff or samosa its really tasty.The prices are really very high when compare to the outside foods even though we cant just stop eating them right !Even in multiplex we can get the good no to food items with a large menu so we can choose easily what we want and have it all the time in the theater, so enjoy every moment while watching movies.

Hi! When my friend and i decide to watch movie we don't bring food/snacks inside the theater. We eat first before watching movie. And we go to much cheaper kind of food. The reason why we don't bring food is that we want to concentrate more on the movie and also we know that foods that are sold in the movie house are very expensive hehehe..

Well, I usually want to eat popcorn at the movies. It is a great way to have something to be eaten and shared to at the same time. Some snacks that I nibble at the movies are burgers, hotdogs and fries. But still I like popcorn better because I can focus on what I am watching because it is easier to eat.

I used to buy in a quick fast food. In jollibee, 100 plus php comes with burger, french fries and softdrink. It's wiser than buying separate popcorn and softdrink.

I usually try to sneak in something to the movie theater. Not both. Like last time I brought a bottle of water in my bag, but I shared a bucket of popcorn with the person I was with. So while both of our drinks came from home, we did buy the snack there. I really like the sour punch straws movie theaters sell, but usually I just get popcorn. I say usually, but I only go to the movies about two times a year.

I like to snack on popcorn when I go to the movies. I also like to get me a soft drink also and maybe some sugar babies.

Chips would be my favorite snack at the movies. I have read that move theaters earn money by selling the popcorn instead of the movie tickets. For me, I have always been sneaking food into the movie theaters because I don't have the extra bucks for a corporate to profit off of.

I like to get different things, when I go to the movies. I don't usually get popcorn from the movie theater, as they usually give me a bad stomach ache afterward. I might usually get some candies, or sneak in some candies, or something like that. Whether I sneak in snacks or not, I try to get a drink.

Only on very, very rare occasions do I buy popcorn at the cinema as it's just way too expensive. The oddest food I saw available at a cinema was popcorn coadted in cheese. It just sounds yucky. What I do is sneak in a bar of chocolate or a share bag, but I normally just eat them all myself!
