Sneaking food into the cinema; we all do it! #2

If you say you’ve never smuggled something into the cinema in your bag, you’re lying. Everyone does it; and some people have crazier habits than others. That’s clear from your responses too. Is your favorite contraband among them?

Perfect for a Mexican film

“I once smuggled a chicken fajita sandwich from Subway into the cinema with a friend.” Did you happen to watch “The Mexican” or “Nacho Libre” then?

Messy

“Spring rolls!” If that doesn’t get messy in the dark with the chili sauce, I don’t know what will.

The sky is the limit

“Haha, how much food did we smuggle into the cinema; 20 chicken nuggets, crisps, all sorts of things!” Now I’m curious about your smuggling methods.

Special

“Frikandellen!” Now that’s a tasty movie snack. However, I do recommend going to the cinema alone if you’re bringing those. Especially with a Frikandel Speciaal (which is, of course, the only true form of a frikandel), you’re not doing the person next to you any favors if you occasionally whisper something in their ear.

Scary!

“KFC during IT.” Was that so that if the film got too scary at some point, you could put your empty KFC bucket over your head?

Enjoy, but drink in moderation

“I once found an empty bottle of Bacardi while cleaning the cinema.” Wow, this must have been during The Hangover, Project X, or Drunk Parents.

Pro

“An entire pizza box!” I find that pretty impressive. Do you keep the box on your back under your shirt? And how do you make sure all your toppings stay in place?

Royal cinema visit

“Burger King, haha; walking past the checkout with the smell of chicken tenders.” If you want to write an apology letter to your fellow cinema-goers that day, please get in touch with us.

Cut it out

“Kapsalon!” Hmm… And then still wondering what all those mice and rats in the cinema are attracted to?

Brain freeze

“Tried to smuggle in a McFlurry, but we got caught. Haha, yes, and then we had to force it down on the stairs and ended up with brain freeze!” And that, dear children watching at home, is what you call karma.
