Tonight while my friends and I snuck in three hamburgers and an assortment of beverages, I got to thinking about actually managing to bring a little table, a tablecloth, vase of flowers, etc. What have you snuck in?

Probably just myself, back in the day, for a “double feature” .. pay for one, go to two. I used to work at a theater and we’d have to be on the lookout for people opening up the exit doors and letting their friends in that way. I don’t remember finding anything too unusual… microwave popcorn bags, fast food…
I used to work in a movie theater, too. Somebody once brought in Red Lobster and wine coolers.
A bong. Back in the 80s when art house theaters had smoking sections. It was a double feature of Harold Lloyd’s “Safety Last!” and “Why Worry?”
The most I ever snuck in was Twizzlers and homemade popcorn. I did used to think about saving the drink cups for those places that have free refills and sneaking those in the next time.
A lemon meringue pie. And no utensils. We ripped that sucker open and ate it with our hands.
What is the most pathetic thing I have been stopped from bringing in? A bottle of water. The theater didn’t even sell bottled water, and they confiscated it.
One of those little portable DVD players, to watch an entirely different movie on.
No, sorry, I lied.
My partner has no shame and wants to eat what he wants to eat. Things my partner has successfully snuck into theatres and consumed:
A grocery store rotisserie uncut chicken. No utensils. (some Michael Moore movie)
Take-out Pho vietnamese noodles and broth. (more than once, I can’t remember which flick)
Ethiopian food, with injera. No utensils. (one of the Bourne movies)
Fresh fruit - eg: oranges, uncut papayas and mangoes, bananas (all the time)
Other random Chinese food, noodley and ricey.
I am responsible for wetnaps.
I brought a girl in to have sex with.
that’s really the only reason to sit in the last row during “poseidon”.
A boyfriend of mine during high school had a little brother who liked to dress kind of thug-like. In the mid-90s, that meant GIANT pants. When a group of us would go to the movies, we’d have the brother put a 2-liter of soda in each front pocket of his jeans, and then we’d pass them around to drink during the show. You would never have known the difference by looking at this kid, but to this day I’m amazed that his pants never fell down as we were walking through the mall to the theater.
