10. The Candy Smugglers

I love going to movie theaters especially late at night, but I hate buying candy there because it is so ridiculously over priced. So I smuggle in my movie snacks. I really love bringing gummy worms or sour candy in with me to a movie. It just makes my movie experience all the better. But if I'm eating sour candy I have to have a drink to wash it down with. I just don't feel justified in paying 4.99 to get a soda. So I generally buy a one liter bottle of something bubbly and just sneak right on in.

It is so easy to do in the winter because I can just wear a coat with a lot of pockets. It is much harder to smuggle things into the theatre when you are just wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. That is why you bring a girl with you. the girl will always bring her purse and you can smuggle anything you want in with you using the purse. This if course brings up the whole talk of sharing if you are on a date. If you share food it is always a good precursor to hand holding or cuddling. Of course if you are sharing food with your sister you can always just bring her favorite candy and thank her profusely. We don't live in Arkansas it doesn't work to cuddle with your sister to let her know that you appreciate what she did. That is just wrong and disgusting. But I firmly believe that something equally disgusting is the price of snack food in the movie theater.

Last night I watched "Love Happens" with my sister. Needless to say she brought a big purse.

  1. I love taking stuff in to the theater. I had once been discusing all of the different stuff we had snuck into a movie theater and one of the girls that was in my class back home had said that her grandma had once taken in a whole steak dinner in some zip-lock bags. :)

  3. Thank you for not trying to cuddle with me during the movie.

    Next time we can bring something more "advanced" once I brought in a whole gallon of icecream and shared with all the friends that had gone with us- probably 15 people or so!
