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?

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.

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...

@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?

Megifer · 09/12/2023 18:25

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

SocksAndTheCity · 09/12/2023 18:25

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.

AzureBlue99 · 09/12/2023 18:26

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

Megifer · 09/12/2023 18:26

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 eyes have rolled so far into the back of my head.

FOTTFSOFTFOASM · 09/12/2023 18:26

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?

No wonder so many people are fat.

You misinterpreted I don't agree with you, you're being ridiculous! I was being sarcastic Grin

My pet hate is "these days".oh yeah it was so much better years ago.... not!

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 👍

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

HaroldMeaker · 09/12/2023 18:21

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 😂

@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.

Because they all go to the cinema!!!!!

Berlinlover · 09/12/2023 18:30

Absolutely disgusting. Don’t do it.

Catsbreakfast · 09/12/2023 18:31

No, it’s just antisocial to stink the place out. Hotdogs aren’t fine either, eat them before you go in. Having people rustle bags, munch, stink the room out is not ok.

I do feel like people are acting like I've asked if I can drop my pants and relieve myself in the aisle.

To be fair, that would probably be less smelly

Our local cinema has a fairly good menu.

https://www.everymancinema.com/everyman-food-and-drink/

That settles it! I need to move to the UK, or at least visit long enough to enjoy a few movies at Everyman Cinema! There is so much I want to try!

Anyone looking for a roomie for a couple of months? 😉 (kidding of course)

AzureBlue99 · 09/12/2023 18:32

@Behindyouiam Yes, I was well aware you were being sarcastic. I was being sarcastic right back at you.

@SocksAndTheCity I was inferring you had weight issues due to the amount of crap you were gleefully saying you ate.

If you don't want to be around people eating while watching a film maybe don't go to a cinema?
God some people need to get a grip.

@allmyliesaretrue Live a little? Eating low rent food is your idea of living it up?
