Nothing. I do not eat or drink anything while watching a film, I cannot emphasize the word "film" enough. When I am afforded the time to actually go to a theatre to see a film, I go to to enjoy the art. I do not go to eat or drink. I believe it takes away from the experience. Yes, I am a snob. Yes, I am aware this is different and does not sound fun. I am there to be entertained and experience art, not to have fun and eat processed high fructose corn syrup in various forms.


I say, my good man. What types of films do you enjoy?


Shawshank
Heat
The Lives of Others (German)
The Pianist
The Brutalist
Den of Thieves 1 & 2
Oppenheimer
American Fiction
Birdman

You know films. Not rom-coms or super hero movies although I watched every Nolan Batman in theatres and will watch Reeves' 2nd Batman in theatre. Didn't check out the Serbian Film; not my cup of tea.

Call me cheap, an lolpoor, whatever.
But there is no known universe where I can rationalize paying 8 dollars for 50 cents worth of massively unhealthy popcorn. So I somehow survive without their garbage for 2 hours.

I had to make sure someone was reading my drivel and to not come off too pretentious.

Here's a hot take... I love popcorn. It's one of my all time favorite snacks. I could eat it every day.

Movie theater popcorn is terrible, and movie theater butter is horrifying and I hope RFK bans it.


Alamo popcorn is ok

I am an uncultured, shallow, and soulless moviegoer. My genre is like:

Fletch
One Crazy Summer
Tommy Boy

You get the idea - movies they don't make anymore.

Back to the OP, I like popcorn and a Diet Coke. Super healthy, I know.

Unpopular opinion, but i don't think food should be allowed in movie theaters. The smell of pickles and the sound of 100 people around me all eating popcorn drives me insane.

I don't go to the movie theater much...
I can confidently say, I've never had a problem of hearing a bunch of popcorn eating in a movie theatre,,, so this isn't just an unpopular opinion… but a bizarre one.

In the dozens of movies I've seen in a theater, I can't recall a single time I've smelled a pickle.

So this makes me wonder, in the silent movie era, were viewers quiet? Did people chat or was there some people reading the words on the screen? Was some joker sitting in the back saying, "Boing" or "That's gonna leave a mark!"?

My go to was always cherry sours, but I think the company that made them went out of business. I have not found a replacement snack since.

Go to the nearest Buc-ees prior to the movie, or a grocery store, and slide them in a pocket. Will be cheaper also.
