To sneak a McDonald's into the cinema

[Panda90]

Would it be wrong to sneak a big mac and fries into the cinema? I usually just take a bag of sweets and bottle of water. I refuse to pay the cinema prices for food. The film I want to see tomorrow is 3 hours long, plus 30 minutes or so of adverts. It starts at 11.30am. Do you take your own food into the cinema?

DP took the kids to the cinema at Easter and said he was almost gagging as the person next to him had such terrible bad breath (not because he was eating McDonald’s just because he had terrible bad breath).

Moral of the story - never ever leave the house. It’s the only way forward.

They should have evicted you. McDonald’s stinks.

I still love the fact that people manage to put the words "McDonalds" and "experience" in the same sentence.

What a world to be alive

One could be ejected from cinema definitely not evicted

I think every internal US flight I have ever been on has had at least one person run on the plane late clutching a bag of something they purchased in the airport. Usually McD's but any other hot fast food available too. Seems quite the norm there.
Our local cinema is a cineworld so there is always hot food in the screens, added to that it's in a food complex so all sorts of hot food is brought in without comment. Doesn't bother me particularly.

Also, slow hand clap for Monty27 who berates the OP's social skills whilst not actually having the er, social skills, to read the fucking thread.

What’s not to understand,it’s food to accompany the movie not food before a movie

What's wrong with bringing non smelly food that doesn't annoy the people around you? As PPs have said, surely if you're eating in the middle of the film the food has gone cold? If you're eating it the minute you sit down, it's before the film starts and therefore you could have just eaten it before going in.

Read slowly sakura,I’ll explain
Eating food before going in,is not the same as food to accompany a movie
So there is no comparison to eating in foyer with no movies as compared to eating in cinema with a movie and trailers
HTH

Endgame is quite a quiet film at the beginning and the noise was horrendous from people eating when we went. So whatever you take make it quiet.

@LipstickHandbagCoffee

Why so rude?

Also you haven't actually answered either of my questions, so don't accuse me of not being able to read.

You can eat your McDonald's in McDonald's surely.

3 hours of endgame at teatime won’t happen without food for us.

But it’s sandwiches for us. Smelly hot food no no no.

I still love the fact that people manage to put the words "McDonalds" and "experience" in the same sentence.

What a world to be alive

Tell me about. I still sigh every time I think about how excited my friend was that they’re opening a new restaurant near the end of his road. It’s a Kentucky!

I’ll explain it again Eating in McDonald’s isn’t the point,that’s not food with cinema
Eating in McDonald’s,is as it says eating in McDonald’s
Cinema and McDonald’s The two differ in location
Mcdonalds don’t screen movies,yet

Yes YABU, it stinks.

LipstickHandbagCoffee there really is no need to talk to people so rudely.

Sorry to disappoint the snob in you but the beef isn’t processed

It still honks way more than popcorn.

And yes, I am an unmitigated snob.

I’m not being rude in the least.i am having to explain the same point repeatedly

You are being rude Lipstick and you haven't answered the question of why you have to bring McDonald's in, rather than non smelly snacks like most people do. And if you're having it in the middle of the film surely it has gone cold?

Lukewarm, congealed McDonalds, eaten on your lap in a darkened room is surely a life goals utter low.

Once again, not directed at the OP, who clearly has a degree of cop on.

My local cinema sells hot dogs, pizza, nachos, ice cream - all to be consumed in the theatre as no seating in reception... it's also next door to McDonald's

I used to do this all the time, KFC, McDonald's etc!

I do not see anything wrong with it as most times especially in the morning, the cinema is empty and I just sit at the front row or second row where no one usually is! I think it would be more awkward at a 8pm showing when the cinema is packed!

Only on MN would people get angry at people wanting to eat in the cinema, all cinemas near me sell food hot & cold.

This. You're not supposed to chew in front of anyone on MN. They all have misophonia. And of course, a sense of smell more acute than a shark's.

Sakura,read my post.carefully
I repeatedly say eat on arrival.i don’t say let time elapse then eat a cold takeaway
You suggest eat in McDonald’s. I have repeysaid its food to accompany cinema

Lipstick - you said you want your food to accompany the movie, you didn't say you eat it on arrival. Stop talking to me like I'm thick just because I don't agree with you.

Really don't see the point in bringing in McDonald's to eat immediately, when you could just eat it in McDonald's and then go in, like the majority of people would do.

It's pretty obvious from this thread that it's inconsiderate behaviour to most people (and the OP realises this). So if you don't care about impacting on the experience of other paying cinema goers, keep doing what you do. Thankfully most people have more consideration for those around them.
