I say...SHUT THE HELL-O UP! who goes to the movies EVERY day that it matters? yeah..me neither. sooooo when I do go, I'm buying me some big ole calorie laden..fat loving ...POPCORN. and just try to take it away (I will hunt you down, and it won't be pretty) and we're not stupid...like we didn't know those candy packages were supersized. SO WHAT. I WANT my big ole chocolate covered peanuts......thank you! get out of our lives...gooberment..or whoever it is that is trying to get me healthy. I want NO part of it...not at the movies! I want my goodies...and

[PoodleMommy]

That's how I feel!

I am an ADULT, I decide what I want to eat... and if the movie theater gets rid of concession stands I will just sneak it in, LOL!

 

[jess2416]

Im confused LOL (surprise, surprise )

who said that?

 

[ACooper]

That's CRAZY, not as crazy as Sesame Street making cookie monster eat healthy, but STILL crazy!!..........now I want popcorn!

*goes off to pop some Orville Redenbocher in the microwave* <--------he's a Hoosier ya know! hahahaha

 

[Giny]

I agree! It wouldn't feel like I'm at the movies if I don't have that popcorn smell when I first walk in.

A new study came out saying how bad movie theater concessions are... what you consume at the movies is worse then three quarter pounders or something, is the way they put it.

So of course people are saying "get rid of the concession stands..." like all of a sudden people are not going to be overweight anymore because of that!

Im pretty sure the calories I consume once a month or less at the movies are not making a difference... its mostly the junk in my pantry and when the government comes for that... :yikes:

Just want to clear up.... cookie monster still eats cookies

My youngest child is 10, so I haven't had a reason to watch in quite a while.........the last I heard they were making him eat healthy stuff, glad it isn't true!

Cookie monster without the *nom nom nom* wouldn't be right! :rofl1:

 

[PoodleMommy]

yea... apple monster or hummus monster just wouldnt have the same appeal!

 

[sparks19]

hahaha isn't it sad that THAT is what I picked out of this conversation HAHAHA cookie monster misconceptions lol

Actually I think they were going to do that with him but I think there was such an outrage that they decided against it.

I HATE you... I have been craving popcorn for the last few days and my microwave is broken and the new one has not arrived yet

What's a movie without popcorn with extra butter and Milk Duds !

 

[tessa_s212]

When I go to the movies, I sneak in water and healthy snacks. I don't want to eat junk food, and when Mason is old enough to go, we will sneak in healthy snacks for him as well.

 

[sparks19]

pfft... I can eat healthy snacks at home (I don't... but I could LOL) when I go to the movies I want my popcorn dripping with that delicious fake butter. MMMMMM MMMMMMM

exactly!!!!

And its best if they have the little machine that lets you do it yourself... because then I can put soo much butter you could have a heart attack just watching me opcorn:opcorn:opcorn:

haha same here. Brian HATES that fake butter but he knows I love it so he doesn't stop me hahaha.

I always ask them to fill it halfway... squirt some butter and then fill it the rest of the way and squirt it again. I hate getting past the top and realizing the rest of the popcorn is fake butterless

Me too!

That's why I don't like the self-serve butter because then you run out when you get past the top layer!

If they get rid of the concession stands, do you realize how much your tickets are going to cost?!?! At least this way you have a choice to spend the extra 10-15 bucks on snacks. If you don't normally spend that extra, you are going to have to make up for it anyway, by paying more for your ticket to make up for the loss of money from concession stands.

And they will have to let people bring in their own snacks...because really...what's a movie without snack food?!?!

Personally I haven't gotten anything from the concession stand for years--I'm too cheap. I'm not paying $8 a ticket then another $10 for popcorn and a coke. I've sneaked stuff in for years. I got it honest though--my mom used to do that when I was a kid. We'd buy a normal sized bag of M&M's at the store before going to the movies--not only was it cheaper, but she then didn't have to deal with a 7 year old bouncing off the walls from downing a theater sized box of candy...

We went to the movies last night. I couldnt have any popcorn cause of my diet I am allowed to have it if I count it as one of my carb servings for the day and eat really good before/after but I have only been on it a little over a week and I am not ready to get off track even if i do work it in.

I was just feeling sorry for myself. I wanted some popcorn.
