[9] “I don’t want to look like a weirdo. I’ll just go with a muumuu.”

And so quotable, too!

[2] [10] [11] I love those things! I didn’t know they were also called “Sno-Caps” until my teens, so that means I must have had the generic ones as a kid, which are also called nonpareils. The small ones are a favorite movie snack, and so are cookie dough bites. So bad and yet so good.

[11] I always thought “nonpareils” where the fancy name for sno-caps, lol. I always hated those tiny hard candy balls. Just nasty, especially on cookies. They get everywhere and crunch your teeth. I’ll always go with the no-sprinkle, no-”tiny balls” options if available.

(listen to me – mister snooty candy chooser – as if)

The “white things” are nonpareils …

[2] Snow caps – I don’t know. What are those white things? I like the chocolate – love the dark chocolate – but the white things on top. They just crunch between your teeth. Not cool.

Small popcorn, medium on the butter and a water.

Sometimes I get sour patch kids … *never* sour jacks, which are an abomination.

the food order never changes: me and my three boys split a big popcorn, light on the butter, and Twizzlers. Medium Coke for me, Sprites for the kids.
Approximately the nutritional equivalent of literally eating $25 dollars.

My wife hates wasting money on movie snacks, and kids movies, so I’m the designated kid movie-taker. Good gig, but we only go a couple times a year.

Popcorn all the way, in the biggest receptacle my wife will let me get away with. No “butter,” though. And Ellen DeGeneres demonstrates the proper technique at 1:05 here:

I got my sons all psyched to go see Toy Story 3 this weekend, promised them popcorn. Then I read that popcorn is like this ridiculously dangerous choking hazard and the movie is in 3D so I have to figure out a way to get them to manage the glasses.

I worked at a multiplex when I was in HS; the first three days I gorged on free popcorn, then never touched the stuff again for the duration. The soda I didn’t get tired of, even though I saw firsthand what it was made of. The untouchable stuff (stuff we couldn’t have for free) were the candy and ice cream; that became a real bargaining chip wiith friends and particularly with the ladies… Nowadays, I’ll indulge in one popcorn of indeterminate size and one drink if I don’t bring my own. The few times I go to the theater, I’m more wrapped up in the picture than I am snacking, but I will have something to drink.

Popcorn is a must, but depending on my mental state then I might add some reese’s pieces too.

I share a popcorn with the missus, but I have my own little bag of peanut M&Ms to go with it. Grab a couple M&Ms, reach into the popcorn, and down the hatch. Got to be such a habit that popcorn alone doesn’t do it anymore.

Yeah – I was once the poor slob who accidentally dumped his peanut M&Ms on the floor and the whole theater could hear them rolling up front. A real shame that was.
