Movie Theater Candy

[Mirage]

It sounds like it's not really allowed to bring your own candies or snacks to movie theatres. Is this really true?

Of course they don't let you bring stuff in. That would cut into their already ridiculous profits!

Movie theaters make all their money on concessions. Ticket sales all go to the movie itself.

In NZ: Jaffas! Also fruit bursts and movie mix or whatever you call the "shovel as much gummy lollies and chocolate into a paper bag as you can" thing. Which for me involves coke bottles, gummy snakes, gummy sharks, jelly babies, airplanes, nutty chocolate or chocolate rice things and other assorted goods.

In UK: Minstrels, peanut M&M's, popcorn, and again the movie mix thing - minus the airplanes because the UK doesn't know what's good for it.

Of course, that's just the candy. Hot dogs are where it's really at.

Depends on the movie and which week it is since the film came out.

Anyway, my heart still wouldn't bleed for them if it were 100% true.

No rules against that over here. Another thing to put on the list over why it's awesome to live in Norway.
