When the movie is on... what do you snack on?

Like most people, I usually sit back and enjoy a bag of buttery microwave popcorn. When I'm short of popped kernels, I fall back to a big bag of barbecue corn chips. If I don't have either of those quick snacks, I treat myself to a batch of lightly steamed shrimp. What about you?

I chew on picnic strips every time I watch a movie. I'm not really a fan of pop corns but I liked the smell though

Yeah Picnic strips or more popularly known as shoestring potatoes. Try it, it never hurts to be unique at times

I used to have plenty of salted potato chips as snacks.Then I switched to popcorn and sometimes roasted cashews. And one day I became health conscious and started to snack on fruits and cereals..well it did not last.Have gone back to potato chips.I keep dreaming of watching movies with just a bottle of cool water beside me.

Hi, terranceb Welcome to Mylot. A bag of buttery or caramel popcorn would be nice. However, it's ok if I could not have any of those. What I need while watching a good movie is a long cold drink. It could coke, iced coffee or just water. Cheers!

Considering I've delved into buttery popcorn while watching a good movie, I've never thought of snacking on caramel popcorn. Will try soon enough!

Hello. Whenever watching a movie I mostly go for bowl of popcorn or simply salted potato chips.I have never been more creative in this matter. But once I did try out a bowl of fresh fruits while watching a movie.It was nice for a change and I will suggest others try it out at least once.

Fresh fruits sounds interesting. I'll put it on my "to try" list as well.

Good day to you my friend terranceb When I'm watching a movie or something even a dvd movie I don't put anything on my mouth.Because it distracts me and it loses my focus on the movie so what I did is to eat first before watching a movie.

When watching movies, I could buy a pack of peanuts. It is nice to be eating something while watching movie. When it permits, we would also buy popcorn and just bring them home.

I never thought about trying peanuts. Sounds like a good snack!

terranceb, When the movie is on, I like to snack on cereals. Previously, I like to snack on junk food. But I realise that it is really unhealthy. In order to watch my diet and still enjoy my movie, I choose really healthy cereals. That way, I get good movies, good snacks, good health!

Cereal sounds like a healthy choice and it's not buttery. I'll be sure to try this snack as well.

Whenever I'm watching a movie, I usually eat a bowl or two of ice cream. It's delicious, quiet, and doesn't get stuck on my teeth like popcorn!
