[debm55]

7. Thank you again.

[FuzzyRabbit]

[debm55]

9. Thank you FuzzyRabbit

[Kittycatkat]

34. I will often go to the movies because

I want me some movie theater POPCORN.

[debm55]

36. Thank you Kittycatkat.

[livetohike]

4. Sno-Caps! Second choice Popcorn. n/t

[debm55]

10. Thank you livetohike.

[mwf]

6. Popcorn plus

Popcorn for me, too. If it’s a double feature, then Junior Mints for the second round.

[debm55]

13. Thank you mwf and welcome to DU

[surfered]

8. Popcorn, always popcorn. But we don't go to movies anymore because...

…they went to all rocking chairs and required reservations for seats. We used to just stop in for matinees and pick seats in the back

[debm55]

22. Thank you surfered.

[LisaM]

11. When I was a teenager, I always got the same four things.

Raisinets, SweetTarts, popcorn, and Mr. Pibb!

[debm55]

14. Thank you LisaM

[Polly Hennessey]

12. Have to have Junior Mints and popcorn.

I stuff both in my mouth at the same time. Heaven! Good thing I seldom go to movies. At home I have an apple and a few cashews. Why I go crazy in the theater, I don’t know. Maybe a throwback to childhood. 😊

[debm55]

16. Thank you Polly Hennessey.

[TommieMommy]

15. Junior Mints 😁

[debm55]

17. Thank you TommieMommy.

[Solly Mack]

18. Popcorn. It's not movie night without it.

Home or at the theatre.

[debm55]

19. Thank you Solly Mack

[tblue37]

20. Popcorn.

[debm55]

21. Thank you tblue37

[Lilithschyld]

23. Popcorn! nt

[debm55]

24. thank you Lilithschyld

[Nictuku]

25. Milk Duds

[debm55]

26. Sorry not being sold at the refreshment stand. Try something else.

[Nictuku]

30. Then I bring my own, or walk out

I'm stubborn.

[debm55]

37. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA. You are funny.

[Nictuku]

39. I would NEVER drink Diet Soda's either

Now I'm very glad I did.

There is a reason that I choose Milk Duds for Movies. The Big Box that you can get at the movies to share, will last the entire movie, if you just let the delicious caramel and chocolate melt in your mouth slowly.

[debm55]

47. or sneak in your pocket

[Lunabell]

68. That is the correct answer!

[Nictuku]

75. I only wish they made them with Dark Chocolate

Trader Joe's has some great Dark Chocolate Caramels. It is one of my weaknesses.

[Lunabell]

83. I love reisen's caramels.

But, my teeth can't take it any more, lol.

[LoisB]

27. Junior mints although there is nothing like movie popcorn but it's too addictive.

[debm55]

29. Thanks LoisB.

[brewens]

28. Popcorn and soft drink are default. The treat would be Junior Mints. What's not to like? :) n/t

[debm55]

32. Thanks brewens.

[Twoflower]

31. YES

[debm55]

33. You can only buy one. Yes is not being sold at the refreshment stand.

[Twoflower]

45. Darn, must be the weed talking.

[debm55]

49. Hahahahahahahahahah

[AltairIV]

[Doc_Technical]

42. Raisinets

I got this suggestion from Hedley Lamarr.

[debm55]

117. HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAH. Thank you Doc_Techical

[List left]

43. Hard choice...

Between rasinets and junior mints. To go along with a baggie of pecans or almonds smuggled in my pocket. Otherwise they are both too sweet.

[debm55]

46. Thank you , Sneak in your pocket.

[Shermann]

48. Popcorn

It's odd because I never make popcorn watching movies at home. It's the same as eating bread before a meal, you only do that when you are eating out.

[debm55]

50. Thank you Shermann

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

93. Yep. Go out for a meal and I inhale cheddar biscuits like I'm Pac-Man

At home? Nary a roll from the store on the counter unless it's a Fall or Winter holiday dinner.

When we're out? I'll practically strap those 'for later' bread sticks to my chest like I'm in Midnight Express.

If I buy them? They're just not the same. They don't taste like that. There's just something about restaurant bread. I don't get it either.

[Sneederbunk]

51. None. I get a loan.

[lkinwi]

52. Popcorn with melted butter!

[debm55]

54. Yummy. Thank you Ikinwi

[arkielib]

53. Biggest tub of popcorn they have

with as much butter as they‘ll put on it. There are no calories in a movie theater.

[debm55]

56. HAHAHAHAHHAHHAH Thank you arkielif

[Demovictory9]

55. Popcorn..the other choices..ugh

[debm55]

[Lunabell]

81. I'm a chocolate/caramel freak!

Or chocolate and toffee. I make homemade toffee with toasted almonds, and melt Hershey's chocolate on top. That is my absolute favorite candy. Like an almond rocha bar. Mmmm

[AllaN01Bear]

71. popcprm.

[debm55]

73. Thank you Allan01Bear.

[sakabatou]

72. Popcorn. It usually lasts the most

[debm55]

74. Thank you sakabatou

[catbyte]

76. Reeses Pieces

Raisinets are the Devil's "candy" i.e. a dirty trick, Junior Mints are too sweet, popcorn, meh, so Reeses Pieces it is. Although my favorites are the Whoppers. Or Peanut M & Ms.

[debm55]

80. thank you catbyte. . You can always sneak the Whoppers in.

[ProfessorGAC]

77. I'll Go With Reese's Pieces

But, I'd have to get popcorn too, or my wife would leave me at the theater.

[debm55]

82. Ok both Thank you ProfessorGAC

[MiKenMi33]

78. Raisinets and popcorn.

I’d have to have both. You need the sweetness of raisinets to balance the saltiness on the popcorn. And raisins are healthy🙂.

[debm55]

87. MikenMi33 Thank you

[Ninga]

79. Welp, I always go to the movies with my sweetie. Therefore I will get the most giant

buttered popcorn I can carry……and….he will get Raisinets…a perfect combo!

[debm55]

86. Thank you Ninga.

[electric_blue68]

84. Buttered popcorn, junior mints, or sneak my own in

as prices rose.

[debm55]

85. Thank you electric_blue 68

[sinkingfeeling]

88. Raisinets followed by popcorn

[debm55]

89. Thank you sinkingfeeling. Enjoy

[Luciferous]

90. Junior Mints. They're very refreshing 🙂

[debm55]

91. Thank you, Luciferous, Enjoy

[Eugene]

92. popcorn

Nowadays popcorn almost every time. 🍿
Candy occasionally.

[debm55]

96. Thank you Eugene

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

94. Remember folks. Be a good Scout and pack out your trash

You don't want some employee exclaiming "do we sell these?" to their manager when they clean.

Also, don't build a theater across the lot from a Dollar Tree. Folks seeing the same size boxes sold for $5 will get incentive.

Oh, also. I pick Sweetarts for my movie candy. The big ones. Two rolls will last a movie.

[debm55]

97. Thank y0u ArkanasDemocrat1

[pansypoo53219]

95. we used to sneak in our own WHITE handmade popcorn. white popcorn is smaller, but less hulls + far superior flavor.

no need for butter.

[debm55]

98. Thank you pansypoo53219

[pansypoo53219]

113. new organic white is as big as tellow now.

[intheflow]

99. Um, popcorn and junior mints.

I didn’t know I was supposed to choose only one snack!

[debm55]

100. That's okay. Thank you intheflow.

[wendyb-NC]

101. Raisinets and Junior Mints

[debm55]

[Charlie Chapulin]

103. Medium buttered popcorn and Rees's Cups

[debm55]

105. Thank you Charlie Chapulin.

[FloridaDAR]

104. Popcorn

But... sneak in a box of Junior Mints!

[debm55]

106. Thank you FloridaDAR

[Ocelot II]

107. Popcorn if anything, but I usually don't buy food at all.

If I eat popcorn I'll get thirsty so I'll also need a soft drink and then I'll have to go to the bathroom, which means I'll have to get up and miss part of the movie, or I'll sit there uncomfortable and distracted because I have to go to the bathroom. So on the very rare occasions when I go to a movie in a theater I don't buy anything.

[debm55]

109. Thank you Ocelot II

[Funtatlaguy]

108. Popcorn. Milk duds, Coke Zero

[debm55]

110. Thank you Funtatlaguy

[ailsagirl]

111. Definitely popcorn

[debm55]

114. Thank you ailsagirl

[Desert grandma]

112. Popcorn!

[debm55]

115. Thank you Desert grandma

[CTyankee]

118. Popcorn, of course. Growing up there was no JiffyPop, nor was there microwave ovens so my only source for popcorn was at

the movie theatre where they had an awesome machine that popped the corn and buttered it.

[debm55]

119. Thank you , i remember those

[CTyankee]

120. Yep. They were all lit up and it was fascinating: it was a little spectacle in the movie theatre lobby!

Movie going was a great pastime for me, particularly when I was able to go by myself (altho I had one bad experience with a creepy guy who wanted to take my hand (and perhaps do something for him). I learned then to go sit where nobody was around me.

[debm55]

121. Sorry that happened . Did you have the theater with the balcony and the velvet curtains and chairs. that is what I had.

[CTyankee]

123. Yes. It was called the Majestic (iirc).

I think they were trying to copy the fabulous Garnier theatre in Paris!

[Emile]

122. Popcorn

[debm55]

124. Thank you Emile.
