For the first time in a very long time, we went to a movie theater to see a movie. We went as a family too, sort of. We went in one car but then The Boy and his girlfriend sat as far away from me and Hubby as possible (surprise, surprise).
We got all settled in and then wonderful Hubby went to the concession stand. Those suckers are highway robbery, in more ways than one!
Let's say your in the mood for a little sweet, those folks know nothing about little! If you want Twizzlers (my personal fave) you end up with enough of those little red twisted sticks to feed a small army! After, of course, you have laid out enough cash to clothe and feed that army for a month!
Then there is the popcorn. What human in their right mind need a humongous vat of popcorn drenched in greasy butter flavored oil? Even if you skip the "butter", by the time you reach the bottom of the bucket, you have missed the movie, because the munching in your head is louder than the soundtrack!
Then, if you are thirsty, you can purchase a swimming pool size soda to wash the popcorn down. Realize, if you will, that you have spent $4.50 on a soda that costs the theater approximately 2 cents - and that includes the cup!
Do you suppose there is a theater out there that sells somewhat healthy fare in reasonable sized portions? Dare to dream . . .
The movie was awesome though!
