We tend to always eat during movies but also tend to smuggle our own sweets in because they are outrageously expensive to buy in the cinema itself. We sometimes buy drinks, amidst groans of what a rip-off they are. Likewise with popcorn which has a ridiculous mark-up. The only thing I dislike it people unwrapping really noisy wrappered sweets during the film?

I find the trouble with sweets is that I tend to eat them faster and faster during the exciting bits. I overdosed on winegums during Skyfall and felt quite sick afterwards! I should have stick to a vodka martini, shaken not stirred.

I didn't vote because it's not something I feel that strongly about and it isn't such a  black and white(ha!) issue for me.
I shouldn't eat at all(size of a house!) and I do try not to.
But I confess my pal and I shared a bag of pastilles during The Hobbit.
I have no interest in what others do.
I love toffee pop corn and the cinema would probably be the only time I would eat it.
But as I said, I really try just to have a drink and not eat anything.

Military movie watchers? Here!    You make popcorn munching noise next to me and you'll be surprised 
Just keep quiet and all is fine 

I'm not militant, but I don't eat or drink in the movies. I have found that you never really know how that's going to work out. Sometimes, popcorn goes down the wrong way and I end up having a coughing fit. Same for liquids. Then if you drink too much and movies are very long these days, you have to go to the bathroom. Then you have to hold it until the end, when everyone goes to the bathroom. It's just safer to abstain. And, it's annoying when other people are making noises while you're trying to watch the movie. Then there's sticky floors from where people spill soda. So, I say no food in theaters is my choice.

Ummm, I always smuggle my own candys into the cinema :D
But I hate it when there's just a quiet scene in the movie and apparently some people feel the need to eat very loud.
Do you know that situation? -.-
Can't they just wait for an action scene...

When it gets really exciting in the film I eat slower and slower...
And then I realise my mouth stands open.

Actually not 

I mainly don't eat because I don't remember to I've walked into a film with popcorn before & come out wondering why it's still full after two hours. I can eat during ads/previews but once the movie starts, I tend to forget that I'm even holding the popcorn in my lap so I've learned not to bother anymore.

It's ridiculous tho.   I  go to the cinema on discount days,  and often,  the food I get is more expensive than the movie itself!!   Why  do they raise the price of a whoppers box,  to  4  dollars,  when you can buy it elsewhere for a dollar or less?  

I  agree  they need to serve healthier foods,  like apples,  carrots,  toranges,  etc....but how much are they gonna charge for THAT?  

However,  I go to the movies for popcorn  and treats,  not really for  healthy foods!!   (Ok  I'll admit that!!)
