To sneak McD's into the cinema

Going to a tea time showing tonight - McD's is right next door to the cinema so was just going to buy DC a Happy Meal and pop it in my bag to eat when we get in there.

Cheaper than a hot dog at the cinema. I don't think it's particularly a bother smell wise, as people have nachos and hot dogs etc.

AIBU?

Just been in a cinema to see Saltburn.
Thank fully not a sound of a crisp bag or a morsel of food was eaten in the Auditorium and it was well attended. Very good atmosphere all round. Gold star cinema experience.

Jeez, the smell 🤢🤢I hate when people do this, the train being the worst

@Bertiesmum3 committing at the smell of cheese is more about your mental intolerance than a physical reason.

It must be very debilitating, do you send people ahead to check out possible cheese smells. You know like miners used to send birds down the pit first, to check for fumes!

I’ve been like it since a very young age

Vomiting not committing

With all due respect, I'm not the one claiming to actually vomit if I smell cooked cheese. It makes me wonder how you manage to do, well, anything. Presumably you can never go anywhere where someone might be eating hot food. I think I'd rather be a prat, to be honest...

chomping, munching, rustling and stinking out the train?

I'm rustling and eating as a normal human. The smell is probably available to others but smells delicious

Are people dry heaving and throwing up?

Can confirm no vomit and no side eye. In fact I'm not sure anyone's noticed.

I'm also hoping you've been on a Christmas drinks thing, you're slightly tipsy, stinking of alcohol and talking just a bit too loudly!

Yes, yes, no, no. I'm alone so talking - even quietly - is really frowned upon Grin

You are my people! Nothing is as good as a maccas when inebriated.

NonPlayerCharacter · 12/12/2023 20:58

Shovelling. Don't forget shovelling. If the food isn't "healthy" then it's never eaten, it's shovelled.

Im sat on the train with a McDonald's and thinking of you all 😘

If not, you've not got enough food!

Please tell me I'm right!

I’d just carry it in. No sneaking necessary. You’re allowed to take stuff in. We always take in sweets and popcorn.

Mazpaz · 12/12/2023 16:26

For goodness sake it’s a kids happy meal . If it keeps the child happy why not . Smell not as bad as hot dogs and Nachos

Kbr22 · 12/12/2023 15:58

As long as you don’t take boiled eggs, no problem! Our local cinema sells burgers anyway.

Zooeyzo · 12/12/2023 10:16

😂😂 can't believe the people calling it vulgar. What a life you must lead.

Anderson2018 · 12/12/2023 08:42

I don’t see anything wrong with it but my husband made me scoff my burger before the cinema the last time because he was embarrassed by me wanting to take it in 🤣 I don’t understand why because people eat hot food in there anyway. Just do it, it’s only a happy meal your not going to stink out the whole cinema

I do believe that some people don't like the smell.

But why can't they just say "I wish people wouldn't, I don't like the smell"?

Why all the claims of dry heaving and puking and allergic reactions when someone else eats it? Do they think anyone believes it? And why all the endless invective about how offensive and stinky and disgusting and common it is?

You know, I also liked the implication that true film buffs (ie, higher minds) would never eat while watching a film or rest their feet on something. That was good too.

Cabdiraxman · 12/12/2023 07:41

I've seen someone eat an Indian takeaway on a tray at the Cinema. It wasn't busy. They sat in an area of the cinema where no one was sitting around them.

I like the one who said she gets an allergic reaction when someone else eats something.

Mumsnet is always wanging on about things being "common" (although never why anyone should care). Does anyone actually say that any more in real life?

Love this, best comment by a mile!! 🤣🤣

My favourite is the offensive to veggies comment, but this has been a thread full of funny overreactions.
