    Do cinemas even ban outside food any more?

    I don't know if I've actually seen a sign in any of them saying so in the last decade.

    Our local has stopped some of us from taking burgers in, but that was probably just because it's hot food or something. Might make more of a mess or something.

    I know that my uni libraries ban hot food from the libraries because it's distracting, so maybe it's the same sort of thing?

    I don't remember the last time I ate skittles.

    Probably because there is no chocolate in that bag so I have no reason to eat them.

    As far as little round candies go, M&Ms are still my preferred go to. And of those I would like peanut M&Ms. Which if you had told the lid version of myself that he would have punched me in the face.

    Of course kid me would have not believed current me after I finished telling him that blue had replaced the lighter brown M&Ms.

    WTF?! Skittles are a top 10 candy, easy.

    Disagree.

    (The best candy is Caramel Apple Pops. So good.)

    The best candy is Swedish Fish, followed closely by Peachy Rings and Sour Patch Kids.

    Speaking of which, I ate some Skittles recently and boy have my taste buds changed because they were not appealing to me anymore.

    They replaced lime skittles with green apple skittles.
    Which is FUCKING BULLSHIT

    Holy shit are you kidding me? Time to get the pitchforks and torches. This travesty will not stand!

    Yeah I found that out after opening a package and getting a nasty flavor surprise.

    Haven't purchased any skittles since.

    I do find it fascinating hearing about ticket prices in the US, because over here, $8 is ridiculously cheap. It's why we can afford to go pretty much every week.

    At most major chains, seems like a child ticket is $15 or something. And an adult is gonna have to lay down $20.

    And our currencies are pretty much at parity at the moment.

    Studio Movie Grill or Alamo Draft House are your best options for affordable food and beverage whilst enjoying a movie.

    Outside of those locations, I don't know what else is available in your particular region of the US.

    I am so pumped that my city is getting an Alamo Draft House next year. Gonna see allllllll the movies there.

    There's a cool bar that I used to live near that did 'silent movies', where everyone got a set of headphones and watched up on the roof terrace of the bar, so when you want something, you could just take off your headphones, wonder over to the bar, and quietly talk to them without having to shout over everyone. It was kinda cool.

    Actual limes are fine in drinks or cuisine to varying degrees as a complement to other flavors
    Taking a piece of candy that you are meant to just pop straight in your mouth and trying to make it taste like a lime is garbage

    See, I think it's important that businesses make their money if they're providing a service I like. I want them to stay in business and keep pleasing me!

    That said, I would gladly pay double the fair price of concessions at the theatre. However, it's more like 4x, and that's completely unreasonable.

    My typical routine is:

    Buy my ticket right at showtime. (They won't let you buy a ticket after the commercials because that's another way they're making their money)
    Walk to the very near dollar store and buy a few boxes of candy.
    Shove them in my pantaloons
    Go back to the theatre, buy the refillable soda. Refill and pee halfway through the movie. Refill again on the way out

    so wait hang on

    is somebody saying that the real, historical Vlad Tepes was not responsible for the deaths of many tens of thousands of people

    because I kinda thought that was his shtick

    I mean he fought in the crusades and killed a bunch of Turks but lots of stuff about him is probably made up. Most of the stories about Vlad feasting around corpses, surprise, come from other countries.

    He saved his people from invasion. That is why he is venerated there.

    This is late, but Vlad had nothing to do with the Crusades. The last Crusade was in 1272. Vlad was born in 1431.

    They always tasted gross to me

    Albanese gummies are the best. I've been on a kazoozles kick recently

    bottlecaps are alright. Sweet tarts gummies are pretty good.

    Cotton candy is the light

    I need to cut down on my candy intake though since I haven't been to a dentist in ages

    As a huge fan of Green Apple flavored candy and a not-fan of Lime flavored candy, the switch to green apple totally messes up the Skittles flavor.

    Green Apple is a curse in food form, hiding as delicious lime everywhere and it only brings anguish and heartbreak, its constant companions, where ever its dark business takes it

    I'd gladly bring in snacks from outside if there was a way to sneak a big, hot, steaming tub of popcorn into the theater. Can't sit there and smell it all around me and not have some.
