What are the best foods to sneak into the cinema? Anyone try to smuggle in an entire meal? Has anyone successfully cooked or heated a food item inside the cinema?
Military MREs will cook if you just add water. But you should do it in a well ventilated area.
>>7215822
.... you can do that shit in a closet as long as it's only one. You'll be fine.
>>7215808
I cooked a curry once for my flat before we were going to the cinema. There were leftovers but not quite enough to justify putting it in the fridge so I did the logical thing and put it in a ziploc bag, folded up a couple of chappatis in some tinfoil and we ate it during the film.
Granted, this was a student cinema in the UK that was just one our lecture halls fitted with a projector. Not sure if it would be possible to hide a bag of curry in the shower inspections. Maybe you could train your falcon to fly it in through the projection room.
>>7215808
Crab legs. Though some people get annoyed because of all the loud cracking. Some theaters even provide butter, but you have to bring your own dish/container. I bring a zip lock bag
>>7215855
/tv/ pls go
Buy one of those green army jackets and pack anything you could possibly want. Those things have a ridiculous amount of pockets.
The only downside is looking like you're gonna shoot-up the place.
>>7215808
What the FUCK is that picture?
>>7215855
They give you movie popcorn butter which is the best butter on earth. Why else do you think eating crab legs and lobster at the theatre became a big trend?

Never doing that again. Now I just eat before I leave and when I get home. Its only 2-3 hours.
>>7215808
In my country you're allowed to bring food into the cinema provided it isn't an item the concession stand sells. Ive taken kfc and all sorts of things to eat while watching movies.
Better question, what's a food item you can bring in the theatre, which the staff will not object to you having?
I say pineapple
>>7215808
Take in some uncut sushi rolls. They can fit in many concealable compartments and you can eat them like churros. You can also sneak in a tube of wasabi and a sack of ginger to go with the meal. Enjoy.
It wasn't a movie theater but once my brothers and I snuck in 4 foot long subway subs and chips plus a 2 liter of coca cola into an Ohio state basketball game. I'll never forgot the look on the workers face when he found all of the trash in the stands.
>> worked in movie theater when 16 years old. Youn would be amazed at what people sneak in to eat. Some nights I would tear tickets then clean up the theaters after the show. 1/5 of liquor bottles, beer bottles, full size pizza boxes, Kfc buckets, you name it. Have no idea how they snuck that in, I was watching for food coming in the door.
>> the only parts of the job I enjoyed were running the projectors and changing the sign 50 feet above the highway with my crazy friend who would jump up and down and make the whole platform sway back and forth.

We regularly sneak burgers and fries in to eat during films. Doesn't really work when they auditorium is really full, though - fat soccer moms like to tattle.
>>7215877
But its not a trend. Zero people do it. Not even the guy who said to do it does it.
>>7216146
you and me both breh
This is why I don't go to the movies anymore.
Poor faggots with zero consideration for others who are trying to watch the movie.
Cracking crab legs, fucking around on your phone, and talking nonstop like junior high bitches.
Don't reproduce.
Back when I was a good for nothing teenager my friends and I went to KFC, ate our meal, and then got a chocolate cake (yes, from KFC) for dessert. We didn't have time to eat the cake before the movie started so my friend hid the cake under his shirt and brought it into the theater where we watched Rambo (2008).
I will never forget sitting there with my friends, passing around a chocolate cake, and eating it with my hands while Rambo was on screen tearing peoples throats out. We were laughing the whole time at the absurdity of it.
The movie theater I used to go to is next to a wal-mart so we'd all go there and buy the movie theater boxes of candy and hide them in our clothes. My preference was the cookie dough stuff.
If I didn't feel like buying candy I'd bring a bag of trail mix, and my mom used to make a batch of popcorn and bag that for the kids.
>>7216721
By cookie dough do you mean the 'cookie dough bites' covered in chocolate?
I was obsessed with buying those as a kid at blockbuster but I had a box recently and they tasted really mediocre.
A gun
>>7215808
Ive snuck the stupid normal shit in, like boxes of candy from CVS or a mcdouble, once I did a quesadilla from taco bell. But for a poorer friend of mine and his dad, it was different, but I heard this from another friend of mine.

Poor janitors
Where I'm from there is a dollar store right next to the cinema, it's actually right next door in the same plaza. You can get the exact same candy there for $1.00 that the theater is charging $5.00+ for. It's almost like they are asking us just to go to the dollar store instead of buying candy there.I always get sour patch kids and a small bottle of diet coke. Comes out to equal $2.00 plus tax as opposed to $12.00 or something crazy like that.
>>7216911
I know, I always feel bad for people who have to clean up after pig disgusting messy people, no matter how old they are. When I worked as a waiter, the Indian families and their children were always the worst. Would literally open salt/pepper/sugar packets and spill them everywhere, then get the empty packets wet so they were impossible to clean up. Food chunks and spilled drink everywhere.They were also shitty tippers, always complained about something, and would come in right before closing time with their entire huge family. No offense to anyone out there, but I worked as a waiter for years and that is always how it was.
Why don't you just eat a meal before and bring just water in? Are americans that addicted to filth that they get distressed without burgers permanently in their grip?
>>7216945
Yes, we do. No, not really. I think eating/having a snack during a movie is just a past time of ours and is a part of the "movie" experience.
>>7216945
i'm not american or fat but i like munching while watching a movie.
a lot of people do.
maybe if you got regular exercise you could enjoy eating when you want without sacrifice.
>>7216945
>Why don't you just eat a meal before and bring just water in?
it's just not the same :(
I usually bring some of these. They're great and not.. entirely.. terrible for you.

>>7216945
m8 people like to enjoy a snack every now and then when they go to the movies. It's not an all the time thing for me, maybe 1-3 times a year at MOST, so you bet your ass I'll be splurging on junk.
>>7215808
sausages, hide them in ur butt.
>>7216972
They make millions of dollars every day, do you think the average person only sees three films in a year?
>>7215808
Carry a giant purse. I liked the time we bought fast food with two really large drinks. With both giant drinks under her coat and her arms crossed over the top, my friend looked like she had massive tits, and I put the rest of the food in my purse. Had another nice meal from a coffee shop smuggled in (small container of potato salad and a wrap with dessert). Usually just buy a cookie from the place next door anymore.
Seriously, this isn't much of a question when it's common for half the population to carry a purse.

I consider myself pretty average and I haven't been to the theatre in 15 years. Back when I did tickets were $7.50 and I think they are around $17 now and when you at drinks and food ontop of that you're looking to spend $30 a person which seems worthless when Hollywood hasn't made a decent movie in 30 years
>>7216265
I miss that magazine so much
>>7217250
Spotted the pirate.
I stopped going to the cinema when they introduced allocated seating. It's awkward as fuck to walk into the cinema early to find your seat and see just one or two other people sitting in there but your seat is right next to one of them. Or if I walked in later I may be faced with daunting tast of asking someone to get out of my seat which could result in bloodshed.
>>7217311
Wut? Is this weird some Yuro thing? Here, people do that for plays, symphonies, operas, and sporting events, where there's some actual prestige that comes with certain seats that makes people willing to pay more for them, but no one gives a shit with movies. They're fucking movies.
>>7217385
>he's never been to anice movie theater
These AMC theaters in my city have fucking leather La-Z-boy seats, and you can reserve/allocate which seat you want in the theater. The thing that sucks is if you want to see a new movie on the fly, you might not be able to sit with your friends/family/whoever if you're not a lonely permavirgin.
>>7215855
have you ever considered using hollandaise?
the most I ever brought into a theater was In-N-Out burgers, fries and milkshakes for 3 people. Had it all in a big purse. If your a man, try doing this at a movie theater in a mall using a shopping bag.
It also helps to go on busy days when staff can't be fucked to check your bags.
>>7217550
Probably won't happen any more these days. After theaters getting shot up my local theaters let people line up for as long as it takes to check bags.

After a movie if the floor doesn't look dirty enough I will dump out my entire soda and also stomp whatever food I have remaining into the soda and and mash it together. It ensures the movie theatre workers stay gainfully employed and don't lose their jobs.

>>7215941
I did this with my friends back in college. We would just hit up a food court and order takeout. Food would be stashed in our backpacks.
>>7215808
I take blueberries. Healthy to snack on and easy to steal/smuggle in.
>>7215877
Popcorn butter is pig fucking disgusting
When I worked at a theater these hambeast families would get multiple XL popcorns (which we did free refills on) and would have us layer the fucking butter. One scoop of popcorn, five squirts of butter. Often times it would drip through the bottom of the bag.
>>7215808
why bring in food, when there is so much to eat under the seat
Not smuggling but I went to a theatre in Florida 5-6 years ago that brought food directly to you as you watched, they also gave you headphones so you didnt have to listen to people eat and make noise.
Breakfast was great, unlimited chocolate pancakes along with sasauge, bacon, eggs, hashbrown, grits, whatever, you name it.
Expensive as hell from what i remember though.
>>7215808
you shouldn't do that op, theaters make very little money off of ticket sales alone. most of their income comes from concessions. bringing food with you is like robbing them and hurts business.
>>7222266
Where in Florida, brah?

Somewhere within an hour 30 minute drive of the Salty Dog in Sarasota, i really dont remember the name though, and im upset by that too. Sorry man
I was 15 at the time and my parents and i went on vacation and were going to as many places to eat as possible while we were there, i was more focused on what i planned on eating.
TFW I can't go to my local cinema because they have a no singles rule.
I would sneak in pb&js wrapped in napkins though flatened against my shirt with tape.
>>7216328
you're missing out BIG TIME
Sneak a small grill into the cinema under a jacket and plug it into the several outlets they're required to have. Pull out a ketchup bottle of pancake batter and go to town.
>>7215808
That image is incredibly unsettling to me, I actually feel uncomfortable and like I'm being watched now, thanks op

>>7216847
Haha, yep, those poverty movie excursions...
My mom, brother, and I went to a movie like once while I was in high school (I forget what movie, this was almost 10 years ago).
>Matinee (of course)
>Movie's kinda long, so my mom and brother do the sensible thing and have lunch first
>I'm doing homework or something and completely forget to eat lunch
>End up having to sneak lunch into the theatre
>Lunch is a piece of now-cold toast and an apple
>Sitting there trying to eat the apple as quietly as possible, only biting into it during really loud scenes
If I see a movie nowadays, though, I don't eat anything during. There's something about the greasy-popcorn-and-spilt-soda smell that just kills any appetite I have.
>>7215808
the fuck is that thing

>>7216238
I work at a small artsy fartsy cinema with one screen and pretty much every night after the film I find 10+ bottles of hard liquor in the bathroom. You would think they would do this to dodge paying our ridic premiums for liquor but thats comically not the case. I catch people pouring liquor from home into drinks they bought from us. Makes no fucking sense to me.
>>7218733
Fuck you. Be an adult and stick a shit ton of gum on the cupholders and complain to management about it if you want to fuck with minimum wagers. Kids dont give a fuck and will leave that pool of destruction there for the next movie showing so you only screw over whoever watches the next film.
>>7222189
My theatre only uses real butter to be hipster so most people don't know how to react when they first try our popcorn. They are so used to the slop most theaters use for popcorn butter that the real stuff tastes like nothing to them. People will get small popcorns and have me ladle 5+ tbsp of melted butter on it. The entire bottom of the container will filled with butter and they still want more. Scariest shit in the world.
>>7224347
kek
I remember sneaking in cans of Coke when I was a kid and fake coughing when I opened it so no one would hear me. Now I just stop at the dollar store on the way and load up on cheap candy. We also have a theater nearby that gives everyone unlimited popcorn and soda. Of course the movie ticket is more expensive, but it's a nice option to have sometimes.
Has anyone ever got caught sneaking food into the theater? What'd they make you do, throw it away?
Always sneak in drinks/snacks. Sometimes sneak in beer. I always sneak things in my purse, put a scarf around clanky bottles.
One time my friend snuck in two tuna fish sandwiches.
>>7215808
You can always take some MREs into the theater. They even have hot foods.
>>7224347
>it's easier if you're a girl
>big purse, big snacktime
This. Men seriously need to start carrying purses. Get a purse and sneak in your own god dang snacks!
>>7225391
Purses for men are called murses.
Also I've always thought that carrying a purse is basically advertising that you get your period. No thanks. My autism won't allow it.

A lot of people hid in the broom closets to smoke instead of going outside in the winter. Some kids smoked a few blunts in the theater when the christmas Harold and Kumar movie came out, too. Fun times
>>7215808
I don't really like to eat shit in movies and usually eat before hand. However, I do love smuggling booze in.
Usually what I do is get one of those 16oz, thin walled water bottles, fill it like 1/2-2/3 of the way with whiskey, squeezing out the air so it's flatter, then slipping it in my boot (ayyy bootlegging lmao). Usually just sip on it throughout the movie, but sometimes I'll buy the smallest drink I can, drink it during the previews then pouring whiskey on the remaining ice so I can have cold whiskey throughout the movie.
>>7215868
You're speaking of the M65 Field Jacket. Tons of companies have copies or their own rendition of it.

chinese food from the place next door. That shit smelled and looked heavenly. Someone in front of me looked down at his 7 dollar shitty nachos in disgust.
I can't believe people eat anything more than popcorn or small snacks in the theatre. I hope you guys are at least careful not to spill, other people have to sit in those seats too.
>>7215808
I usually just bring in chips and pop. I don't even sneak it in though, I show it in plain sight, the theatre's employees really don't give a shit
>Buy two (2) philly cheese-steaks from the mall food court
>Put one in each back pocket

Why are theatergoers such pussies?
Snuck in a two liter bottle before, pic related. there was only like half a cups worth tho.
>>7223083
In the United States a lot of theaters have policies where you have to buy at least two tickets to be admitted. This is due to the widespread theater shootings; not only does it minimize the risk of shooters (who come alone), the profits lost from singles is outweighed by the potential loss of profits from people who would be scared if singles/shooters were allowed in.
>>7229724
I have literally never heard of this kind of policy and have never been to a theater in my entire life with this kind of policy.
Stop making shit up.
>>7229724
Can anyone confirm this as fact with a relevant link? Seems a bit extreme, and not befitting of country that prides itself on its sense of freedom.
>>7229753
It honestly sounds like something an Americlap would do.
>>7229753
Of course they can't.
>>7229766
This.
They're need the second seat for their applause machine and jumbo trash bag of buttered popcorn anyhow.
I want to go to the movies but I live in a small town and they have a no singles rule, but if I did go, I would try to sneak in celery with peanut butter and raisins on it, in my pockets.

I usually bring in a pint of cheap whiskey to mix with my soda. Makes every movie a 10/10

Last time I brought in a fifth of jack to watch the latest mission impossible, I passed out quickly from having been drinking all day. I didn't wake up until 30 minutes after the movie ended.
The credits were off, the lights were fully on and the two little cleaning crew kiddies were at the top of the stairs looking down toward me, wondering what to do.
Their soft pretzels are good
Like, I'm fine paying 5.50 for a single pretzel and some nacho cheese
Here's a tip for those of you who don't carry purses. Carry a coat on your arm and have a bag of your snacks underneath the coat.
I have a massive winter coat and I can usually fit tons of stuff into the pockets
Just some snacks and canned drinks, nothing pungent or loud like crisps so as not to disturb fellow moviegoers
>>7217004
Do you really not understand that a period ends a sentence? The next sentence he clearly states "me" as the subject.
I saw TDKR next to a woman who was overly friendly and open with me. I guess she tried to make up for the fact that she brought this dank grocery store sushi with her that almost got her kicked out
