When I was kid my parents used to take me to theater. There we would also take some eatable things, so that we could have it while watching movie. Later at times at home too I mostly have food watching television. It saves my time but may be I am not enjoying my food entirely. But I had seen some only concentrate on their food while eating it. May be these habits has become a part of our comforts.

Yes, I would prefer eating some snacks such as chips or popcorn while watching a movie because it adds to the relaxation or the comfort of watching a movie. I think watching a movie without a popcorn is kinda incomplete for me but its still okay though..

Snacks and watching full movies online in the comfort of your home is better!

I'm comfortable doing that. I seem to have more trouble eating in places where you have to use a knife and fork, as I dislike using them with certain foods. My friend took me to a pizza restaurant and I really disliked having to cut it up with a knife and then eat in a fork. I really just wanted to use my hands, as it just felt very awkward but my friend probably wouldn't of liked that and I do try to be respectful.

Yes using knife and fork in public is bit difficult and feeling awkward to use hands, really matters, thank you for nice responds.

Having food while watching movies at home or theater is NOT good for your health. but, but, what to do?????? To me, this makes the movie more enjoyable. Especially while at home, the only free time I get to watch movies on the Tv or DVD is when I am eating. So, I in a sense, I am 'forced' to watch while eating. Of course, in a theater it is a different matter. I only like to have a can of cola, that's all, that too only after the "interval".

Hi there! I love bringing food and drinks while watching movies in theater and even at home. I think watching movies is not complete without having something to munch while enjoying the movie hehehe. I would even bring rice toppings while watching movies (yeah right!) hahaha. I would bring pizza, burger, hotdog, popcorn, nuts, actually anything which I feel like eating. Sometimes ice cream & chocolates add more fun while watching movies. :D

Hello Shamrack. Recently I have been interested in watching movies, but I only watch them at home. I don't like to go to the cinema as it is more comfortable and convenient to watch movies at home. I like to drink water or tea while watching movies. Of course, I eat some snacks as well if I feel a little hungry. Take care.

Well, I do bring food inside theaters. But usually they are for snacks and I do enjoy watching movies while eating. Mostly, its popcorn or peanuts. It has become a habit to me also, so and so that I also prepare some snack while watching dvd movies at home.

As far as I am concerned, I do not like to have food while I am watch a movie at my home. I think it is not so comfortable for me to just eat with the food on. When I am eating, I think I can not concentrate myself on the movie that I am watching.So I will just choose to watch the movie only. have a nice day.

I am the type of person who easily get bored so eating alone will really bore me out. When I am watching TV, I am enjoying what I am watching and at the same time enjoying my meal and thus finishing all my food :D

Well, my parents use to advice not to eat while watching movies as we lose our interest in food and we eat either hurrying up and that will not stick to their body. But still i love to eat watching a movie, i find my food very delicious and its a pleasant moment of enjoyment!

It is realy not comfortable to have food while watching movie as we are not chewing food in proper manner and leaving more food as wastage, it is also told that the food effects as we thinks while eating and while watching movie when we are eating food we are involved in the movie up and downs. I totaly agree this habit has become as a part of our comfort.

Yeah, but sometimes not eating is an option for me too. Unless the movie that im about to watch is really long. Or im going to see a marathon of tv series then i really prepare some food to eat while watching.It doesnt matter what kind of food for as long as i have something to munch while watching. ;)

Yeah! me too, I surely like much to enjoy my faves foods and portables while watching TV. A good time to be as 'connoisseur' for both at the same place.....hahaha! The art of eating and watching, similarly, while working at my computer. For theater or cinema, many years I no longer go to cinema because now there are so many online movies.

Hi Sham, We are visiting rarely a cinema hall and lastly we watched the movie ‘Pazhassi Raja’ which came in cinema halls in this place too. Here the eatables are not allowed inside the hall (means we can’t bring anything from home) but we can purchase it from the near by shop. Since kids are with us we have to purchase the eatables from shop in a higher price. At home it is not necessary, most of the time watching a movie on Sunday that also in the evening. It is not a must to have food when watching TV and good to avoid food while watching tv.

Oh sure. In fact I am not used to not eating anything while watching movies, whether at home or in the theater. When I watch movies I concentrate really well on the film so the next thing I know the bag of chips is already empty.

Hi SHAMRACK I agree with you 100%! I always have food watching TV or movie, I like it, I think it is wonderful thing in the world. But, of course I just eat something while watching TV or movies at home, if I go to theater, I just watching, no food. When I was child, my parent didt let me watching TV while I eating, I dont know why. But, right now, I always do that, I enjoy it. I think I was used to it. I dont care it is right or not, it makes me comfortable.
