What do you guys get at the concession stand when you go to the movies? I am not a popcorn girl, beacause I care not to dig at my teeth or floss throughout the flick, but instead opt for Cookie Dough Bites, Raisinettes or Sour Patch Kids. I've learned Sour Patches, when eaten in bulk will jack your tongue up for DAYS.

Right now I am eating cinnamon toast crunch and toast with cream cheese.

Is that too much toast?

If I say toast one more time, will you be angry?

toast.

I hope you all know this song and it gets stuck in your head!

All around the country and coast to coast...
People always say what do you like most?
I don't wanna brag I don't wanna boast...
I always tell 'em, I like toast!
YEAH TOAST!

And guess what, I went to Steak N Shake in IL on the way home... Mt Vernon to be exact. They have speedy service, and I had a Banacolate shake! w00t!

I get nothing because I am poor.



And a savvy businessman from Japan.

;D

If I get candy at the concession, I will either choose Sour Patch Kids, or Raisen-ettes.


I like the popcorn, but I always choke on the added butter, leaving me nothing but watering eyes and kernels stuck in my gums.

Popcorn always sounds like a good idea, but once you get seated and all, you find yourself having eaten three kernels (and full of popcorn) and a slippery, buttery hand that the napkin sticks to. Also, I have this thing where I 'shake it up.' I am forever shaking bags of chips, boxes of candy, bags of popcorn, the list continues. So, a moviegoing experience with a 'shaker' of things is quite the horrible one. If I really want something, I have to promise the other part of my group that I will not shake it. I do anyways, and my things are usually taken away from me. When I am allowed treats at the movies, I opt for peanut butter M&Ms because the bastards never have Reese's Pieces or I go for the Red Twizzlers. I only have 'geedunks', as I call them, when someone else is buying. I do not pay $3.50 for candy, unless it is a pick-up truck load of candy.

[sonshine76]

What the hell does geedunks mean? Is that a mooching term?

I'm the person who eats the whole box during the previews and has nothing left for the movie. I can't be bothered with maneuvering the box, making noises or rationing out 1 piece per scene.

When I go to restaurants, I generally order something I've had in the past and like instead of trying something new. I don't want to waste money if I don't like it, and I don't like to complain or send things back. Lately I've been getting marinated steak caesar salads, stuffed mushrooms and raspberry iced tea.

[Julie]

Geedunks are popcorn, candy, nachos, the dill pickle that is always on the menu, but fortunately I have never had the horror of being near someone with one. That smell, in an enclosed theater is not something I would think to be enjoyable, and to eat it, looks nasty, you have to cock your head to the side to get a decent bite, and oh yea, it looks like you are eating a cock. Geedunks are concessions.

I also order the same thing everytime. I know what I like from each restaurant I frequent. I do enjoy when my other half gets something different or weird so that I may try one bite without ruining a whole meal on it. Then, if I like it, I may order it next time. If not, it's back to the norm.

When given a choice, I will always choose sweet over salty snacks. Right now I am craving a dusty road road sundae with coffee ice cream and extra malt. Followed by a caramel macchiato from Starbucks. Followed by 5 pounds gained in my ass.

[Julie]

Looks like you blurred out Starbucks for legal purposes...

I would like a Joey Sirloin from outback, cooked Medium, with a warm pink center throughout. I would have with this the vegetable medly. I would be asked if I minded that there is a $2 upcharge for ordering off the children's menu, though I am not a child, and then I will ask to speak to the manager. The manager and I will go back and forth on it being the same piece of meat whether or not I was 10, and I would end up winning, because in the end. I am right.

Ooh, and some ranch dressing that they make there, it is delish. I dip my steak, veggies and brown bread (which I usually dont enjoy, I only like it at Outback, where it is just right, sans rules) in.

Tonight I'm going to Red Robins for dinner. I love a good salad, and Red Robins has the most enormous salads I've ever seen in my life. You trick yourself into thinking you're healthy with your big green vegetabley salad but once it's pumped up with chicken, avacado, eggs, black olives, cheese, bacon and caesar dressing it becomes a death trap, fat bomb meal.
Tricky salads.

I have been addicted to Smartfood Cheese Popcorn.

Let me get a hell yeah!

[censored]

HELL YEAH!

I ate that shit the other day. Tis good. Tis very good.

[LTrain06]

The only thing that sucks about Smartfood is that the cheese forms a buildup on your fingers. so then you lick them, you eat some more popcorn, and pretty soon you've got a paste. and if you don't have napkins, like on this 8-hour drive I took with my boyfriend, you're shit outta luck. He caught me trying to wipe the cheese on his seats, and I am no longer allowed to eat in the car.

Thank you.

I like cashews dipped in whipped cream and I like triscuits dipped in cream cheese.

Sometimes, if I eat over at a friend's house (moreso before, not so much now) I realize that they eat things WAY different than I do. For example, I went to my best friend's birthday party ('best friend' is so cliche and what adult says 'birthday party'? moving on...) and they had for their cake a poppy seed cake with lemon based frosting. What the hell is that? I go to a birthday party, I want fattening frosting and real cake. I only ate ice cream, which was peach ice cream made with splenda. Slimy, yet satisfying.

One time I went to a different friend's house for a meal and they had some kind of vegetable meal. Everything was veggies. I didnt know what the hell was going on. I thought it was one of those things where you eat your veggies and then the meat comes out or something, but there was no presentation of meat. I thought it was odd. At my house, we have things like steak, tacos, spaghetti, lasagna, hamburgers...you know, the normal things? Apparently 'normal' isnt a universal concept when it comes to food.

Julie, I thought of you when I read this.

From the Onion:

DIABETIC 8 YEAR OLD THROWS WORST BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER
CARRIZOZO, NM—The 8th birthday party for diabetes-afflicted Jason Keoner was allegedly "the worst ever," partygoers reported Monday. "The only treats we got were Fresca, Go Lightly sugar-free hard candy, and a carob-chip birthday cake," 7-year-old Kim Gavin said. "When we broke the piñata open, a bunch of dried cranberries fell out." Partygoers were allegedly traumatized when the magician's performance was interrupted so Keoner could receive his insulin shot.
