Let's All Go to the Lobby
Popcorn, and Junior Mints for me. Name your poison, as they used to say in the B-westerns. What’s your movie snack bar vice? Or, what was it when you were a kid and didn’t know any better?
Oh I love that clip! Especially when the couple and kid are salivating for some movie treats. Ha ha.
I love those little kid packs. The ones that come with a little bag of popcorn, a tiny bag of candy, and an extra small soda in a decorated tray (advertising whatever kid's film is playing). I'll even get it as an adult, I don't care. :-)
As a lad, it was Milk Duds; these days (when we make it to a theater-- the closest good rep house is a 250 mile round trip), it's popcorn & a mineral h2o.
My, what a hungry bunch we are! I have to admit, I usually finish everything but the soda before the movie starts because I get bored and impatient with the coming attractions.
Gummi bears and Milk Duds are good, anything that removes your fillings is good.
Raquelle, I love the starving movie goers too, with their tongues hanging out. They must be watching a really long movie. "Gone With the Wind" maybe, or any of the "Lord of the Rings" films.

ReplyDeleteFun clip.
Junior mints when I can find them. Gummi bears are good, too.
ReplyDeleteUsed to be nachos. Never been a fan of movie popcorn.

Great clip!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a girl, we always at Necco wafers at the theater -- and I usually at the whole role and they chewed up the roof of my mouth.
Nowadays... I don't think I've eaten anything at the theater is years! Weird.
Hurray for Necco wafers, made in Massachusetts.
