Movie Theater - Snacks?

Re: Movie Theater - Snacks?

You stated, "Just a little something so I don't feel deprived with everyone around me stuffing their faces with popcorn and nachos." so I figured you wanted to munch on something out of habit. This is a habit you need to break.

If you're truly worried about becoming hungry then you can go with the ideas suggested. I didn't mean for my post to come across as rude.

Good luck.

Don't worry, you didn't come across as rude. I appreciate your feedback. And I agree somewhat with what you're saying; one shouldn't snack for the sake that others are doing the same.

Exactly.

I would actually recommend having a nice meal beforehand to avoid being hungry. That way you can sit back and enjoy the movie without worrying about eating, becoming thirsty, going to get refills, running to the restroom, etc! It might be a nice change.

That's actually a good suggestion. Now that I think about it, I have a tendency to see a movie before I eat... hence my compulsion to snack. :P I'll try that next time, thanks!

You'll probably want to bring along the snacks just incase. You'll be fine, I'm sure. Just make sure it's a good movie so you're not bored to death.

I don't eat food I can not see
I am always afraid of a bug being in it!
Besides if it is dark in a theater and you eat then you are not giving the food that you are putting in your body the attention..both you and it deserves!!!

LOL.. I thought I was the only one, I hate eating in the dark because of that very same paranoia.

That is what I do. I have a nice meal at a nice restaurant (or one of my favorite "dives"), then I go to the movies or where-ever.

During the summer months I go to alot of festivals and fairs, I do the same thing: eat a nice meal then I spend the rest of the afternoon walking it off. The worst is to go to a place hungry or empty-handed and be tempted by whatever carby foods available.

Yes, same theory goes to going to Sam's Club so I can pass up all their samples without feeling like I am missing out.

Heidi, just out of curiosity, have you ever actually eaten a bug? Seems like there's a little more to this story..........
