You’re not alone in hating to spend a fortune on overpriced movie snacks. A user asked the forum, “What is the most outrageous snack you snuck into the theater?”. The replies are really funny and you must read those.
A WHOLE PIZZA
“Someone snuck a whole pizza past me once while taking tickets. I asked if they snuck it through the emergency exit. Nope, they walked right by me, and I didn’t notice.
Props. They deserved that pizza for pulling it off.”
A LARGE SANDWICH AND MIKE’S HARD LEMONADE
“A large sandwich from firehouse subs and a six-pack of Mike’s hard lemonade.”
ROTISSERIE CHICKEN
“Not me, but a lady sitting behind me brought in an entire rotisserie chicken to watch Infinity War.
I heard these god-awful smacking noises behind me about 20 minutes in and looked back to see her shoving handfuls of chicken in her mouth!”
CHINESE FOOD AND DRINKS
“Large to-go boxes full of Chinese food and four large drinks. All in my purse. It was a huge purse. We ate our fill during the movies, and the people behind us asked for our leftovers. Eight people had dinner from my purse that night.”
CHICKEN, PICKLES, AND RED BULL
“Stuck a chicken in my shirt and said I was pregnant. Bought some pickles and Red Bull at the theater to really act the part.”
FRIED CHICKEN
“20+ years ago, a friend and I were sitting around the house.
We decided that we really wanted to go see Bubba Ho-Tep, which was showing at the local indie theater where our roommate worked at. The only trouble is that we were in Minneapolis, and there was an unseasonable early blizzard happening outside.
Like whiteout conditions, and we were on foot. But we were determined and hungry, so we decided we’d swing by Popeye’s on the way to the theater and get some. Walking through the blizzard was exhausting, but the goal of fried chicken and a Bruce Campbell movie was worth the effort.
We managed to get our chicken – a large family-size portion, because why not – and then secured it under our coats for the mile-and-a-half trudge through the snow. So we’re freezing cold on the outside, being pelted with sheets of ice and snow, and the chicken is burning us but kept from going cold, so it was a system that worked.
We got to the theater, and our roommate saw the chicken and demanded to join us, being that there was only one other person in the theater.
We headed to the balcony and set up our feast. About 20 minutes into the movie, the one other person watching left their seat downstairs and came up to the balcony.
“Hey, I can smell the fried chicken from down there. Uhh.. do you guys have any extra?” Hell, yes, we did.
We gladly invited this stranger to join our chicken party, and all had a terrific time watching a movie that was a little disappointing.”
CHEESEBURGERS
“Two cheeseburgers, two medium fries, and a 20-piece nugget.”
COMBO MEALS
“Two Arby’s gyro combo meals, complete with drinks.
One night several years ago, I saw two women snuck in full-to-go boxes of wings, lol.”
KFC BUCKETS
“Two boneless KFC buckets together with a four-pack of beer.”
DELI SANDWICH
“I stuffed an 18-inch deli sandwich down the sleeve of my winter coat once.
It was in the noisiest plastic packaging known to man.
My brother was two seats over, dying laughing as I ever so slowly tried to open it quietly. The sound in the quiet theater was super obvious.”
SPAGHETTI
“1-gallon ziplock bag full of spaghetti.”
RIBS, BEER, COKE BOTTLES, AND HAMBURGERS
“Witnessed a family sneak in an entire rack of ribs, a small keg of beer, two 1.5L coke bottles, and 5+ hamburgers.
They were still pulling out hamburgers at the end of the movie; I just lost count after the fifth one.
Edit: If you are wondering how they brought it in. There were no attendants checking bags, so they just walked in, and no one said anything.
SLICED PIZZA, WHISKEY, AND COKE
“We once brought a sliced pizza with ham, a bottle of whiskey, some glasses, and coke.
Some neighbors looked amused, others a little jealous, but no one complained.
It was a great evening enjoying Mozart’s Magic Flute.”
CHERRY TOMATO
“I brought a pocket full of cherry tomatoes to see Iron Man 2.”
DOCTOR PEPPERS
“12 Dr peppers. It was midsummer, and my buddy showed up with a winter coat and 12 doctor peppers in the sleeves.”
STIR FRY IN A TUPPERWARE
“I made stir fry for dinner, and a friend showed up at my house to pick me up an hour earlier than I expected, so I put it all in Tupperware and snuck in a 3-course meal with the beers to go with it. Plus candy.
Promise I didn’t make a mess, I shared it with my friend, and we sat in the back row so as not to bother anyone.”
