Nothing will ever replace popcorn and coke from the concession stand but I'm starting to feel a bit priced out the market. Today I stopped by the drug store and got a 16oz coke and a bag of jelly beans before heading off to see a flic. total cost - a little over $2.
I stuck the 16 oz up my baggy sleeve and the jelly beans in the pocket. The coke was the only thing that could be the giveaway as it has a distinctive fixed shape.
Walking in there is one trick that I'll share. Just in case someone gets wise and thinks about you for more than one sec, walk straight to the concession stand. Wait there about 30 seconds and then you can walk off. That way if they are thinking "Does that guy have a drink up his sleeve" they will drop the thought when they see you walking up to the line.
Once you get past the ticket ripper you are home free. As soon as you take your 2nd step past him/her turn around and ask him/her if he/she said right or left. Do this with the side of your body away from him/her, your profile hiding your goods.
Of course if you have a woman along the purse is the ticket. You can probably get a turkey and two bottles of wine in.
So does anyone else do this and what are your methods? What snack food is the best for movies?
