I soo do that too. I go buy the liter pepsis or mountain dews and stick them in my purse. I also go to walmart and buy the $1 boxes of candy and I haven't once been caught (: I hate the stuff in theaters its soo expensive completely ridiculous!

I don't sneak in food but I do bring in my own drink. For some reason at my movie theater, I get quite nauseated when I drink the Coca-Cola from their fountain dispenser. So instead, I bring in my own plastic bottle (20 oz) and I also pay for a soft drink from the concession stand. They are very understanding and have no issue with it.

Since the theater I go to is on base (military base in foreign country), the money spent at the theater goes towards things on base; I have no problem paying for the concessions.

also Theaters dont make money on Movies, they make 90% of thier profits on Concessions Ie Food,snacks and sodas. remember that

You dont need to "sneak" in anything to the theaters in Sweden. You can bring in practically whatever you like to eat or drink, wherever its bought.

Sometimes I make a ham & cheese sandwich to bring, and a baggie of peeled clementines. My husband always buys popcorn and diet coke.

Its a fact that most of the profits made at movie theaters is at the Concession stand. If you going to bring in outside food, you only have yourself to blame when it goes belly up

Phhttt... considering that my husband goes to the movies every week and buys a large diet coke and large popcorn, I'm not going to worry about it. If theaters didn't gouge us on the food, people would buy more of it there and they could still make a profit.

I can usually hold off for a couple hours, but we once went to a double feature with only 10 mins between the movies and we were all starving (long movies). We went out, all bought burritos, had them put right into bags (no tin foil noise later), and walked right in with them. The dudes working never care, plus it turned out only us 3 came back for the 2nd movie anyway.

Those suckers missed out on City of God! The 1st movie was Kill Bill, quite a double feature for $7...

When I lived in the UK I used to sneak a can of lager or cider in the cinema with me. Over here cinemas usually sell beer and Bacardi Breezers so there's not much need for that. I wonder why cinemas in the US and UK don't sell alcohol.

Since I love going to the movies and know they make most of their money off concessions: I do buy a popcorn but I bring my own candy and cokes.

I like to bring in Sushi. Some California roll or something easy.
I do hate loud eater at the movies. People close your mouth when you eat popcorn and if its a quite scene don't open cellophane wrappers & make all kinds of noise. So distracting.

... End of line.

When I take my seven year old daughter to the movies we stop at Bulk Barn before we go. I usually get cashews and gummy worms for myself. She normally gets sour cream & onion rings, Smarties and some gummy bears. We also make a stop at a gas station to get a bottle of water for her and an energy drink for me.

We stuff it all into her back pack and nobody knows the difference
