As a seasoned movie-watcher, I’ve been known to bring my own snacks to theaters every once in a while. I mean, have you seen the price of candy lately?!

So, when Twitter user @LocalSoundwave asked, “What are some foods you’ve snuck into movie theaters?” I knew I was in for a wild ride.
@LocalSoundwave An entire pizza. Truly enormous purse, but I rolled it up, wrapped it in wax paper and then made sure that there was a box with a very visible Tampax label on top and just stared the ticket taker down.
@LocalSoundwave Once I sat next to a lady that looked pregnant. Then she pulled half a seran wrapped watermelon out from under her shirt and started eating it with a spoon from her purse.
@LocalSoundwave A full 12 pack of bottles. And right when the previews ended and before the movie started — in dead silence — my foot hit one empty and it rolled down the entire theater, gaining speed, and getting louder with each rotation. It. Was. Amazing. 🙂
@LocalSoundwave My three roommates and I snuck in 10 pounds of Indian food to Beauty and the Beast by wearing baggy tops and carefully placed jackets. I had two mango lassis in my waistband and another in my bell-sleeved sweater sleeve.
@LocalSoundwave My girlfriend and I snuck burritos into opening night of The Post and midway through the movie, in a sold out theater, she leaned over and said “I just swallowed some tinfoil.”
@LocalSoundwave for Mad Max: Fury Road my friend & i made tofu spring rolls and peanut sauce. in order to see the rolls for squirting on the sauce we had to hold them up in front of the screen 😅
@LocalSoundwave a bowl of pasta from noodles and company between my coat and shirt (pulled my coat taunt to suspend it) a glass bottle of izze up my sleeve, and a cookie under my knit hat.
@LocalSoundwave We had a wendy’s in the same lot as our theater. SO many JBCs over the years. But one day I was feeling frisky and had a medium frosty upright in each pocket. Plan was going great…and then I sat down and had to dig handfuls of loose frosty outta my pockets through the credits.
@LocalSoundwave A charcuterie board and 2 bottles of wine into the first Hunger Games movie. There was also a huge bag of starburst and I think the other bag was Take 5s?
Honestly, I’m still so impressed at the amount we smuggled in that night.
@LocalSoundwave Mother in law brought in a 16 piece fried chicken from the grocery store hot food section and a little kid a few rows in front said “mom it smells like chicken”
@LocalSoundwave Once, between two friends and I, we smuggled in three BK meals with fountain sodas. I clutched the 3 sodas under my coat like I was pregnant. Everyone else had pockets of burgers and fries.
@LocalSoundwave One time I made 2 lbs of spaghetti and snuck it into a theater in a tupperware. Brought a fork and some parmesan cheese. I went to this movie alone too lol
@LocalSoundwave I’ve found some weird shit working in a movie theater. Weirdest item of food was a half-eaten birthday cake. And I don’t mean half of it was sliced off, I mean someone had taken bites out of this huge fucking cakr.
