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?

@Behindyouiam Glad you agree with me. It's not food, it's crap shite that stinks.

It's sad that a 4 year old sees McD as a treat. Start them on the road to fast food early eh?

Live a little, luv.

No wonder so many people are fat.

Because they all go to the cinema!!!!!
You cracked it👍🏻

Behindyouiam · 09/12/2023 18:29

@AzureBlue99 in the ocean they have little tables, with a space for your drink and a tray for all your delicious hot food! Also recliners!

Try it, it's great.

One reason I stopped going to the cinema was the constant rustling and crackling and chomping. Not to mention the smell.

Can people seriously not watch a film for a couple of hours without stuffing their faces?

Oh ffs.

No wonder we're all so fucking fat if people can't manage the length of a film without stuffing their faces.

Also, taking McDonald's into the cinema is as common as muck.

I regularly stuff myself during films and my BMI is 21, so speak for yourself 😂

Yes - "only"!! It's not like someone unwrapping fucking egg and onion sarnies!

@SocksAndTheCity Do you take up two seats? All that food.

No, I just stick it on my lap to eat. You know, like we common scum do all the time at home in front of our 100" televisions 👍

Oh my god we're so close to "neglect" being mentioned.......surely in just another 5-6 posts? Come on don't disappoint,I I did say by page 10.....

My local cinema sells pie and mash as well as pizzas (including garlic bread) and hot dogs/popcorn. It has a bar too 😀

I'm glad to hear the people whinging aren't going to set foot in ANY CINEMA EVER AGAIN, not least because I go two or three times a week.

Megifer · 09/12/2023 18:25

I can manage not stuffing my face very easily. I just want to.

We actually haven't gone yet - and thinking we'll probably just quickly eat in the car while the trailers are on, as I couldn't be arsed with someone complaining.

Show quote history

Yeah this does't make sense because according to you, McDonald's is right next to the cinema?

You said "Times a bit stretched so we can only just get to the cinema and food as the film starts."

So why would you get the Maccies, go all the way back to the car, eat it and then walk back to the cinema.

Surely you'd just eat in there and the go next door to watch the film?

It's almost as though you were bored and thought you'd start a mildly controversial thread for the sake of it...

Lwrenagain · 09/12/2023 18:22

I saw a woman online who took hot dogs in a flask and made up her own in the cinema. Took her own condiments and everything.
Was absolutely on point for organisation.

Hope your kiddo enjoyed their night!

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 09/12/2023 18:17

it will be stone cold by the time you get there. Isn’t there a McDonald’s on the way and you eat in the car. Or just feed everyone before you leave?

Behindyouiam · 09/12/2023 18:17

AzureBlue99 · 09/12/2023 18:15

McDonald's stink. Feel sorry for anyone sat in that cinema having to smell that. People have no idea how to behave in cinemas or the theatre nowadays. It's grim.

People should all be banned......

In the good old days, it was so much better

These modern people buying the food that's being sold......

Former cinema employee here we always stopped people taking hot food in. It smells and isn’t fair on the other costumers.

But odeon sell hot food now......
