That Nachos were the perfect cinema snack? Have you ever tried to sit through a film with someone crunching beside you?

This guy knew he was hacking me off because he tried to start eating them 'quietly' the cinema was full so I couldn't even move seats.

Why can't they have a non-eating section?

take them through th toilets on the way in
attendants to check they've been & hands washed
then they'll all be sucking their one sweet - most people will last

I think along with smoking ban there should be an eating ban in cinemas.

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 14:38

Peedoff - you don't give them spoons, you have to eat the mash with your fingers.

Cue romantics licking mash of their beloved's fingers.

Naughty kids doing mash wipes on each others faces.

Teenagers hurling great big handfuls of mash at the screen.

Going off mash now.

NowWhatIsit · 13/05/2010 14:39

and, PeedOff, we would of course be serving ridiculously oversized enormous tubs of mash, so noone would ever get to the bottom of one & spoon scrape...

skidoodly · 13/05/2010 14:39

pmsl @ mash zero

will work well in Austerity Odeon

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 14:39

How about only toothless people allowed in cinemas?

i have actually been to one film where food was thrown at the screen (not mash though ;o)
it was deep blue sea and it enhanced it

PeedOffWithNits · 13/05/2010 14:39

well it will just have to be mash in a tootpaste tube then, insulated,of course, to keep it warm during the ads

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 14:39

Cold mash:

Poledra · 13/05/2010 14:40

Yes, PeedOff, like those disgusting Frubes which my 'orrible children love

skidoodly · 13/05/2010 14:40

buckets of mash, if you will...

Or here's a thought - Nosebags!

Poledra · 13/05/2010 14:42

Ooooh, inspired, skidoodly - nosebags would also curb the propensity to talk!

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 14:42

I launched food at the screen when I was a kid.

All the kids of the town were forced to go to the cinema on a Saturday afternoon whilst their parents went to the pub shopped to watch godforsaken british film foundation films from the 60s.

We just used it as an excuse to throw soggy loo roll at the ceiling and throw half chewed sweets at the screen.

pedrothellama · 13/05/2010 14:42

Can you mainline mash? - That would be much easier and tidier, no sweeping up buckets of discarded mash

Well Silent Snacks will serve mash/mousse in cardboard bowls to lessen noise output of snacks. Not very environmentally friendly but the Silent Snack ethos rests on quiet snacking not on the stupid environment...

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:43

surely in 10 years time we'll all be in individual or family soundproofed virtual reality booths anyway
not wanting to put a dampner on silent snacks but it might be a bit of a cold spud

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:44

lol cupcakes

GetOrfMoiLand · 13/05/2010 14:45

Well, I think we need to stick to Icklboo's original concept which is called bag o'mash.

We could sell it in cloth bags, recylced from awld potato sacks which wil represent the cycle of the potato and is environ.....

AbsOfCroissant · 13/05/2010 14:45

I think nosebags is a good idea, because it may also stop people TALKING throughout the movie.

When I went to see Baz Lurhman's Romeo and Juliet some douchebag charming person recited along the whole way through

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:46

can we do chips too? they're not too noisy are they? and everyone likes the smell of vinegar

OldMacEIEIO · 13/05/2010 14:47

Strong perfume or smelly feet
yeeeuk

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:47

not a mash fan

can i still be on the thread?
id love a tub o' flumps

cupcakesandbunting · 13/05/2010 14:48

SPB, I don't even like to hear myself crunching during films. Silent Snacks is not a fruitless endeavour! Duncan Bannatyne will be kicking himself for not thinking this one up.

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:48

can you imagine how stuffed and bloated you'd be after a bag o mash followed by a tub o flumps

StealthPolarBear · 13/05/2010 14:49

cupcakes you are odd
Just do it in the noisy bits!
