Junior mints and/or bunchacrunch. (Is it one word? Two words?)

I also used to get popcorn with EXTRA butter, so that probably took 20 years off my life. 

Sour Patch Kids, every time. EVERY TIME. And the only acceptable savory for me is a big ol' soft pretzel. 

Those chocolate covered cookie dough bites. Yes, they hurt my teeth and are too sweet. But yet, I yearn for them whenever I see a movie. 

At my local AMC, they have a package called "The Perfect Co-star" and it's a large popcorn and a large Coke. It's pure bliss. I get some raisinettes to toss in the popcorn and at the end of that two hour movie, I'm ten pounds heavier, but also ten pounds lighter (emotionally). God, I haven't been to the theater since seeing the Joker in 2019!!

- Theatre nachos with the jalapenos, an extra side of cheese, and a bag of Hot Cheetos to sprinkle on top

I don’t go to the movies that much anymore so when I do I go all out. Large popcorn and a blue icee. Sometimes I get real wild and get some M&Ms to mix in with the popcorn. 

A small Diet Coke, because a small at the theater is an extra large everywhere else. 

Half the fun of going to the movies are the things that aren't the actual movie, including (nay, especially) the snacks. I have my set standard of snacks, which are popcorn, Junior Mints and the largest Diet Coke allowed by law. 

Occasionally I will switch things I'm feeling adventurous and get pretzel bites or a frozen Coke, but 90% of the time its my OG lineup of snacks. So what do you eat/drink at the movies? I promise I won't snitch if you sneak them in, either!

What are you must-have movie theater snacks?
