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...
