Your Top 4 Movie Snacks

ShallowHal · 03-01-06, 10:24 AM

I searched and found a thread about favorite snacks, but there were people talking about eating yogurt at work. That's crap, this is about snacking (not eating, or I'd say Taco Bell) while watching movies at home.

Name your top 4. Here's mine:

1. Raisinettes
2. Reese Sticks
3. Kettle Corn (I prefer Orville Redenbacher)
4. Twix

Mopower · 03-01-06, 10:26 AM

I don't eat in between meals. You start looking like a fat ass if you make a habit of it. But if I did I'd say my list would be...

1. Strawberry Twizzlers
2. Strawberry Twizzlers
3. Strawberry Twizzlers
4. Strawberry Twizzlers

kneijst1 · 03-01-06, 10:30 AM

1. Popcorn (I love real buttery stuff, but I'm still eating Light Butter)
2. Twizzlers (I'll eat these at home, but they're also fun to buy at 7-11 before going to a movie theater)
3. Skittles
4. Pretzels with Honey Mustard dipping sauce.. mmmmm...

I make popcorn in a big steel stock pot, the way God intended, and it is the preferred movie snack in our home.

Popcorn is the only thing I'll make. If there's something else around, like chips of some sort, I may opt for those.

Ice cream is the only other thing I can think of.

grunter · 03-01-06, 11:15 AM

- Popcorn, heavily salted with butter ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BAG, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Not just drizzled on the top 10 popped kernels.
- Snowcaps
- Peanut M&M's (until some anti-nut fascist decides to take away my be-nutted M&M's)
- Sour Patch Kids - especially the green ones. Gummy green things of all kinds are superior to any other flavored gummy candy. Except gumdrops - 'cuz wintergreen tastes too much like toothpaste.

SoSpacey · 03-01-06, 11:24 AM

snacks get in the way of making out and BJs in the back of the theater. but the buttery popcorn may help.

kvrdave · 03-01-06, 11:39 AM

Popcorn
Diet Coke

freudguy · 03-01-06, 11:42 AM

Theater: Snowcaps, Popcorn and Diet Coke

Home: Crunch & Munch and Michelob Amber Bock

beavismom · 03-01-06, 11:53 AM

1. Buttery, salty popcorn w/Milk Duds
2. Buttery, salty popcorn w/melted marshmallow on it (aka popcorn goo)
3. Chewy candy of some sort - Hot Tamales, Mike & Ikes, Dots, Gummi stuff, Twizzlers
4. Buttery, salty popcorn w/M&Ms

Looking at the list, it is probably a good thing I don't get to watch a lot of movies.

I forgot my real #1, which I stay away from except a few times a year, for good reason. I'd almost become bulimic for these.

Sweet's Orange Sticks

Wow, I remember those. I haven't had them in many years. Damn, now I'm going to have to find somewhere local that has them. Another chance for the wife to roll her eyes at me (she did enjoy our hunt for Boo-berry a while back, though).

You can buy a 7.5 pound box. Overnight shipping is only $130!

Which would precipitate one of the few times in her life that my wife would use the f-word.

home - hmm, usually don't eat when watching a movie, but sometimes: popcorn [got a hot air popper, but it's not the same as it used to be], ice cream [blue bunny bunny tracks is the best], or pizza [order a pizza and watch a movie].
