Snacks for the cinema

    Off to the cinema tomorrow and I'm debating what snacks I should bring, as I am not forking out for the astronomically-priced stuff they sell.

    I'm thinking Manhattan White Cheddar popcorn, bag of Minstrels and a Sprite.
    Other half is just getting popcorn in the cinema.

    Any other nice things I should bring?

    A shít-load of Haribos, bottle of Cidona, Maltesers, buy the pop-corn there so it's warm! Always a winner.

    A flagon of bulmers

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Connorzee


    Cinema here doesnt let anyone in with food that hasnt been bought on site. Good luck

    people who bring sweet wrappers into the cinema need a slap across the bake

    I wouldnt pay the extortionate prices in Cinemas in Dublin for snacks.

    I've tried putting a bottle in my back pocket but it was obviously seen. During the winter is easiest as you'll always have a jumper or coat with you. TShirt and jeans.. forget about it.

    Girls' handbags are handy though!

    i never really bother with cinema snacks,when i visit the cinema my hipflask will usually suffice,and then a more substantial meal somewhere after the film


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 222 ✭✭major deegan


    A fish supper from marios with loads of vinegar...you'll have loads of room sround you!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,417 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    Bovril in a thermos and a packet of custard creams


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy

    Get a Mcdonalds and smuggle it in.

    No food in the cinema, why do people feel the need to stuff their faces and inevitably sit beside me like a cow on the cud. Bliss is an empty cinema, free from such annoyances. If I were King, I'd send cinema eaters to the salt mines


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,866 ✭✭✭Fat Christy


    Hot popcorn and malteasers!!Shhhpill the bag of malteasers in on top of the popcorn and let them babies melt. Nom. Oh and coke. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,166 ✭✭✭Tasden


    I only go to the cinema for their yummy food, the film is just a bonus, nachos and buttered popcorn :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,537 ✭✭✭Arthur Beesley


    Bottle of tap water and some celery and lettuce.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Bag of popcorn, bag of Malteasers, mix the two, enjoy, Sneaky naggin optional but encouraged.

    Aldi movie night sweet bag.. same stuff you'd pay a tenner for from the pic n mix at the cinema for €1.79... and a large galaxy bar.

    I get a takeaway delivered to my seat half an hour in - assigned seating makes the delivery drivers job so much easier.

    Tin of tuna, bag of boiled cabbage and a can of prune juice

    An ex-girlfriend introduced me to it. It's honestly great craic with the right movie - I wouldn't exactly be drinking watching Syrianna or Munich, but stuff like comedies, ridiculous films, action films etc, all make for a good time with a secret naggon and head out afterwards.

    Some absolute degenerate brought a bag of chips into the cinema one time. The whole screen stank. I was starvin' leaving!

    It was pretty foul. I always bring my own goodies to the cinema, not a bloody dinner!

    Fyi, if you put vodka in one of those frozen slushie things it melts it all!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,602 ✭✭✭skippy15


    Large bag of haribo sorted.

    one of my mates usually brings in a few cans, looked like a genius last time he done it. His wife carried them in in handbag.
    Are cinemas around the UK can drink in, and in cineworld beforehand so I don't see the problem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,532 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    A carrier bag full of microwave popcorn, hip flask with Irish whiskey in it, and a packet of Jacob's cream crackers, to piss everyone off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 393 ✭✭PeteEd


    A bottle of Buckfast

    Why did you put an apostrophe in the first one and not in the second one?

    For ****'s sake, if you're going to use them incorrectly, at least be consistent.
