Snacks for the cinema

fussyonion · 2014-07-04 16:25:35

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.

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!
