re: Concessions
Jan. 30th, 2022 12:54 pmI really want to go home, but I also have a ton of filing I need to do and don't want to, so maybe if I procrastinate on the filing that NEEDS to get done, the day will go by faster? Win/win? Except for the part where I do the filing.
30. What is your concession stand must have at the movies?
Oh, now this is my kind of question. Popcorn and pop are the only must-haves, because I'm a basic bitch. Gotta have something to drink, and movie theatre popcorn is possibly the greatest of all the location-specific garbage foods out there, why would you ever elect NOT to have it when available?* Beyond that, I'm a little more flexible; Diet Coke was my drink of choice until we got the fancy Freestyle machines, and now I go with the Diet Vanilla Cherry Coke mix they first foisted upon me when the last Men in Black movie came out, that's the good shit. Popcorn always gets butter, but only on top if it's my mom's turn to pay, since I'm the only one willing to go all in on the layers, and that's okay, since I also get one of those little packets of cheesy powder trash to dump on top. A bagged treat is also generally in the cards, since it comes with the #3, which is the most cost-effective combo for two people, and that will vary wildly depending on mood. Maybe a terrible movie theatre hot dog if I skipped lunch? Though I'd much rather just drive through Subway ahead of time and smuggle that in. I need to be willing to shell out for booze more, that Scream/Possessor double feature I did a while back was RAD with alcohol.
*God, I miss working right next to the theatre so much, just popping out into the back alley to buy a thing of fresh popcorn to share on the job was perfection.
gdi now i really want to go the movies
