Most Outrageous Type of Food You've Snuck Into a Theater

[Ash]

I never pay those insane high prices at the movie theater concession stand.

Except in summertime like now when I can't wear a big coat with pockets to conceal usually a 20 oz. Mt. Dew and a couple of candy bars or a bag of gummy bears.

I sometimes bring a small block of cheese (more healthy) and use my pocket knife to cut off pieces but I'm always afraid that someone will spot me with a knife in my hand and get the wrong impression and alert security.

I've also in the past been a little more creative on some of the foods I've snuck in.

I've snuck in a whole bag full of Taco Bell burritos and tacos and drinks with some friends before.

But I'd have to say the most outrageous thing my friends & I have brought into the movie theater was a large Papa John's pizza with drinks!
 My friend put the box vertically part-way down his pants behind his back and covered the rest of the box with his winter coat.  It was hilarious because he was walking funny and kept saying, "C'mon guys!  Let's just get our damn seats!  It's hot and burning my back!"

We had it cut "party style" into small squares and rearranged them so they wouldn't be smashed when the box was turned on end.  And they weren't smashed either.
We even got some of those packets of parmesan cheese to put on it.

What is the most outrageous food you've snuck into a theater?

Does whiskey count as a food?  I mean, it's a grain, right?

(And then there's B-Fest, but that's not really "sneaking" food into anyplace...)

[Ash]

Haha!

Now that you mention it Apostic,  I remember sneaking a 6 pack of Budweiser into The Fifth Element!

bag of doritos and two 20 oz's of coca cola.

that pizza story is hilarious!

The biggest thing I ever brought into a theater was a foot long sandwich from Blimpee's. Never doing that again, what a mess!

Other crazy things that have happened, a friend I was seeing "Scary Movie 2" with p**sed into his ICEE cup after drinking it and then threw it across the theater, I got really mad at him at the time, but looking back it seems kinda funny. I remember once when we were the only ones in the theater that same kid pulled out a pipe from his pocket that still had weed in it and started lighting it, I was sure we'd be busted but luckily nobody came down. I don't go to anywhere with that a***ole anymore, he usually ended up getting me in trouble where ever we went.

Speaking of weed.

I remember going to see the first "Friday" back in 1995.

My date & I were probably the only white people in the entire packed theater and a few people in the row in front of us lit a huge joint and passed it around!

I think I ended up getting a contact high from it!

Also....My friend Chris & I went to see "Eraser" and he & I were the only ones in the theater.

He pulled out a cigarette and I pulled out a cigar and we smoked through the whole film.

Not a single person came into the theater to check.

haha!

LoL, I gotta hand it to you Ash that's pretty creative. i can't think of any food, does captain morgan rum count though?

[AndyC]

I've slipped a bottle of Coke into my coat pocket a couple of times, but nothing terribly creative.

When I was a little younger and rowdier, some friends and I snuck a bottle of lemon gin into a showing of I Come in Peace. We bought four large Sprites and sat down in the back row where we could mix it in private.

Chicken Alfredo from Fazolis
Chipotle Burrito
I even managed part of a steak from Outback

I take it as a personal challange to get food into the theatre.  Bagged snacks are easy in the winter, but try to get them in during the summer.  I have found the mall theatres to be VERY easy to get things in.  Just carry a shopping bag and no one says a word.

I always pay the silly concession stand prices.

Popcorn and a drink. There's nothing better.

[Evan3]

I always love sneaking in food I COULD easily buy there. Most often popcorn, but every now and then I will stop at a candy store and sneak in those chocolate chip cookie bites or twizzlers.


Ash, when can I see a movie with you, I think we could try to sneak in rosted chicken.

I heartily agree . . . I always order the biggest popcorn and soda . . . that way when I see the rental at home later I get to see something new during the times I had to take a whiz during the show!

I cant wait to see the two segments I missed of 28DL!

"One time I was kicked out of a movie theater for bringing in my own food. My
argument was that the concession stand prices were ridiculous. Besides..... I hadn't had a barbeque in a long time."

I don't go to the theater enough to sneak in food, but I imagine if someone tried to sneak in a whole bag of popcorn, not in seperate baggies, but in one popped bag, that would be a testament to whoever did it.
