No problem with someone quietly eating a bit of popcorn or some chocolate but the guy beside me last night was like a pig with his snout in a trough.

Usually popcorn or chocolate, nothing that would make any real noise/smell though. What would people be eating that 'stinks to high heaven', realistically? Hot Dog is gone in two minutes, and nachos are hardly that strongly scented.

Likewise while one hot dog is gone in a few minutes, if several people are eating them it takes longer than that and the smell continues to linger all over the place. I don't think too many people would like someone to sit down beside them on a bus and start eating hot smelly food, so why would they like someone doing it to them in a cinema. As I said, no problem with food like popcorn or chocolate bars that can be eaten quietly and doesn't smell.

When was the last time four or five people realistically sat withing nose shot of you eating a hot dog. Tbh the question should really be, who is the judgmental so and so who keeps looking at the majority of people for eating food in the cinema?
Annie Enough Recording wrote: » Yeah, that's it. I sit in the cinema sniffing suspiciously and scouring the rows in case anyone has some nachos or hot dogs. I actually brought my binoculars last night in case I missed an 'imaginary' smell up the front row
