OP here...So I haven't been to the flicks in five years.

Do I really need to hide my sweets in my bag?
Am I going to be asked to leave if I'm seen carrying a bag of goodies in?
I'm going to an IMC cinema.

Management have the right to refuse anyone. So yeah its a possibility!

I used to bring burger king in with me. Extra large bacon double cheese burger meal, plus an extra burger. The feckers around me would me groaning and salivating haha. Lovely and cheaper than a popcorn and small drink at the cinema too

if you're looking to conduct an "experiment", make sure it's diet coke.

As long as it involves loud slurping, and crinkling wrapper noises you're onto a winner.

For better or for worse eh.

You should try to suck with every remaining molecule of liquid out of your extra large drink, so it sounds like they've installed gutter pipes in the theatre system.

I love it when people do that.

Euro shops are a godsent

I normally get a bottle of coke, pringles, chocolate and jellies all for less than a fiver

(particularly like the haribo jelly babies!) I'd like to point out that I don't actually finish it all in one sitting though :P But just great to have the variety

I've never had trouble bringing my own food in, but I just keep it in my handbag or separate shopping bag. So unless they ever introduce bag searches...

cloud493 · 05-07-2014 10:19AM

Theres a euro shop right next to cineworld, glorious it is

I've never been searched for stuff in my bag in all my years going the flicks, and I always take a large bag with me.

jester77 · 05-07-2014 10:23AM

Am I the only person that doesn't bring in food?

I just get a few beers at the cinema bar and bring them in. I find it much more enjoyable to slouch back, put the feet up and enjoy a nice beer than fumbling around with loud messy snacks.

To the salt mines with you! De-skinned obviously!

Cinema food prices are genuinely extortionate though. If they dropped prices, more people would buy. A packet of chocolates for €4.50 at UCI is just mad when u get them for 2 quid in spar

cloud493 · 05-07-2014 10:58AM

I put all my food into a lunch box before the movie starts. Less fiddling round, less death stares off people, less rubbish to awkwardly put under the seats.

Remmy · 05-07-2014 11:48AM

I'm probably in the minority here but because I go to the cinema so infrequently when I am there I tend to buy whatever food I feel like regardless of price. I usually end up getting something small like a scoop of ben & jerrys (Nom:pac:) cause I get distracted if I'm munching on food throughout the flick.

The Backwards Man · 05-07-2014 11:56AM

The last time I went to the cinema I brought a can of Smak Pineapple, a Macaroon and a Highland Toffee.

Which James Cagney movie did you watch?

The Backwards Man · 05-07-2014 12:04PM

It was the Santa movie with Dudley Moore in it, must be thirty years ago now.
