My husband and I ate big plates of spaghetti infront of the TV tonight, and for dessert we had shortbread cookies, and ice cream with chocolate syrup. Sometimes we like popcorn, other times we'll eat nachos and cheese, salsa, or bean dip. What do you eat infront of the TV, or when watching a movie? What about drinks? I prefer water or coffee. He likes coke, or chocolate milk.

I try not to eat whilst watching TV or a film, but on the odd occasion that I do, it would probably be either popcorn or chips (crisps in our language), or fruit. I love bananas and strawberries, so that's probably the way I'd go. Drinks come during the commercials... sometimes... then I usually drink cups of tea or coffee, and if it's a hot evening, caronated fruit flavoured water. Brightest Blessings.

Popcorn's always my big thing. When I was a kid my dad used to pop a dishpan full of popcorn every Friday night for us to eat while watching the original Flintstones. He always put plenty of butter on it, and I could eat bowl after bowl of the stuff. I still can. I don't care for microwave popcorn even though it's easier. I still like the stuff made in a pan on the stove. Since it's just the two of us again, my husband and I eat all of our meals in front of the TV. Of course, we have a great room in our house instead of a separate living room and kitchen, so we're still eating in about the same place as we would be if we sat at the table. We can just see the TV better from our recliners.

Hubby and I have a variety of things that we eat in front of the tv. Sometimes we'll have a vegtable tray with ranch dressing or we'll have honey covered peanuts, chips, cookies or a bowl of cereal. It depends on what we're craving for. lol

I like to munch on chips and cookies when I watch TV but lately since I am on a diet I have to stop myself from doing so. I notice that since I am not that active with my physical activity I gain weight faster than I used to do so I have to cut off my junkie intake and start to watch on my diet and the food that I eat. Have fun watching TV with your hubby.

I really don't have a favorite I guess but I do find myself eating certain foods while I'm sitting in front of the TV. I like eating snack type foods while watching TV. One of the things that I tend to eat a lot while watching TV are chips. I prefer eating doritos but those are my favorite chip of all time. When I'm hungry and I'm watching TV the first thing I'll head straight for is bread so I can make a sandwich. I never make anything fancy usually just something to make my stomach stop growling. And, since sandwiches are my favorite food I never get tired of them.

I like to eat chips and drink a cup of tea while watching TV, and sometimes i love to eat icecream. It totally depends on my mood and show i am watching.

There are some days we eat dinner while watching the local evenings news, other time we just snack, grabbing a bowl of grapes, or a cut up apple, or even a cookie. If we are gonna actually sit down and watch a movie we may make some pop corn but it's once in a blue moon. For drinks, He drinks his tea, and I either have kool aid or mt dew.

Hello danishcanadian! I love eating ice cream while watching TV. But it's mostly cold in our place. If it's really cold and I can't eat ice cream, I would probably be having cookies and hot chocolate. If not, cookies and a cup of coffee. Or, maybe soda and potato chips. Popcorn from time to time is also great!

hello danishcanadian i enjoy eating kettle corn popcorn while watching television. and i love snacks like nachos, potato chips, torilla chips and salsa. pass me about anything to snack on while that i am watching television. on the days that i am home to watch my daily soap opera, i find that that is my lunch time as well. i have ate about everything that you can think of before while that i have been watching television. sometimes i will get a sweet tooth and have to have some ice cream, a popsickle or even some cookies whether that the cookies are store bought or homemade ones. and i will either drink a soda, sweet iced tea or water when that i am watching television. take care and have a beautiful evening.

After the spring festival, we have so much leftover things meant for tea company. They are now taken frequently when we watch tv. I like nachos and sun flower seeds, but mostly just tea or coffee. For people who are on diet, those little things must also be considered, as they constitute substentially for the total calories. I have to take care not to eat too much.

Well hubby and i likes to eat pear fruit when watching movie. Sometimes we used to buy some chips called Kurkure and then we eat it together and drink appy, it is a refreshing and sparkling apple drink. I also like to eat fruit salad that i use to prepare. And drink some lime soda along with it. But most of the time, we have nuts like cashew and peanut in our small airtight container. We also do eat chana and cheesebits as what they call it here.
