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?

Ugh, no - the yukky smell is just not fair to everyone else.

YABmassivelyU: stinking rustling food is so antisocial in the confined space of the cinema. Endgame (I assume) will be packed too so you will be sat beside someone spoiling their enjoyment of the film. I'm a greedpig, but even so don't understand the need people have to eat in the cinema.

There's a no hot food rule at my cinema too.

I saw Endgame at a cinema that is next to a burger king. So went to burger king first 11am then cinema. It worked out well

I don't think its really sneaking as your neighbours will see and smell it.

Id eat it first and take snacks.

Yuk. I wouldn't want to be sitting next to someone in the cinema chomping and slurping their way through a smelly McDonalds.

That said I don't go to the cinema much anyway due to anti social people.

I would, it's not against the rules to take our own food.

It's horrible when someone is eating smelly food in the cinema. Really wish it wasn't allowed . If you go to a busy screening it always stinks of hotdogs etc 😫

YWBU. If you can't go three hours without eating then please don't take anything which smells.

I like MacDonalds but it's not suitable for the cinema.

Our cinema sells chicken nuggets, chips, hot dogs so can’t see the problem. Is it actually intended for people to eat during the film or are there tables and chairs so people can eat before or after? I would think the vast majority of people could go three and a half hours between meals!

McDs would stink so itd be quite rude to make other people suffer through that. For that YABU

My brother and his mate took a cooked chicken and a crusty baguette into the cinema once.

I still laugh when I think of it.

(They were the only two there at the time)

I usually take mini Prosecco/can of G+T and my own bag of Butterkiss popcorn.

I don't think there's any "law" about not bringing your own snacks, is there?

Is this the avengers film?

Eat before. Bring snacks then eat after

I watched it over lunch. Survived!

Burger first and take sweets ( without wrappers). Burgers stink.

I love McDonald’s but not in the cinema. If I’d paid for my ticket to watch ( I assume endgame) I’d be asking for you to be removed if you plonked up next to me and rustled wrappers and stank the place out.

Wrong given the smell.
Wrong given the impact on your health.

Op ignore everyone.

Iv took McDonald’s in to a cinema more then once and Iv know others who have done it to.

No ones ever said anything.

Classy. Real classy.

It will be luke warm and gross by the time you've bought it, got to the cinema, bought tickets and sat down. Just eat it before.

Why not just take a chicken sandwich or something? McDs will be lukewarm by the time you get in anyway, will be grim.

Eat a meal before and eat a meal afterwards

Just take a bottle of water in with you
You don't even need snacks for 3.5 hours between meals

Op ignore everyone.

Indeed. Because your word is gospel and everyone should be ignored!

Iv took McDonald’s in to a cinema more then once and Iv know others who have done it to.

Oh, that makes it ok then!

No ones ever said anything.

That doesn't mean a thing.

Being socially inept isn't something to be proud of.

OP, please don't. It is unnecessary and for all the reasons people have posted above, it's not the done thing.

Nah, it's a bit stinky

At my local college cinema, they search your bags - not for security but for contraband food!!

Unicorn “nobody said anything”, they just inwardly raged at how obnoxious and inconsiderate other people can be, I’m sure.
