In the concession line at the movies remembering nothing tastes as good as making good choices is... essential! No popcorn for me!

I never buy popcorn much cheaper and healthier to pack your own meal

I sneak in healthier choices. LOL feels so naughty, Love it.

I bought 2 bottles of water

You do know you're allowed to bring your own food I've never ever bought popcorn myself

I bring a bottle of Sparkling water and some beef jerky in my purse.

Not in the US

Ok that's not nice. The prices are extortion sorry I'm in Australia and I've never had any issue with bringing my own backpack in they may look but no issue unless alcohol of course.

If you're a family and you buy food and drinks it can cost $100s to go cinemas otherwise!

Plus if you're eating healthy you can't eat there so why not bring fruit or tuna or something before hand?

If I were you and you wanted to be healthy eat before you go then just bring water

They get very cranky and sometimes evict you from the premises and deny,you further access to their facility. My college team that I support and I had my bariatric surgery in their hospital on campus, Ohio State University, will not allow umbrellas in the football stadium. Crazy laws formulated by crazy politicians and the ones we were dumb enough to vote for. Pfft I often would like them to disappear in a puff of noxious smoke!

Because movie theaters don't make money on tickets, they make it on concessions.

You have the option to just not eat or drink. It's 2-3 hours, not a 12 hr flight.

(Many people do sneak food in, and as long you're discreet it's generally not an issue)

Good on them but I'm not wasting my hard earned money

First, that's not true

Second, if that were true, it would be a policy not a law

Third, what does any of that have to do with popcorn at movie theaters, and making good food choices?

Not a whole lot but just another silly policy. Maybe a bad example?
