Sometimes I'd go for plain though.

I always ordered popcorn with no butter and a soda. I saw The Naked Gun this afternoon the the local theater and of course I ordered a large popcorn with no butter and a large soda.

As a kid, sometimes I'd get junior Mints, Jujube candy, or Red Hots.

younger brother was not too keen on Black Crows ... So, we usual went with what made him happy (and quiet !! )

I will eat the whole box, no sharing

Loved them… and, of course, buttered popcorn.

So I got it plain. Also they charged extra for the butter.

Movies were a rare treat and I liked to enjoy it.
One time I had the large heavily salted popcorn and when I got home we had just harvested a watermelon. It was great and I ate a lot of it. The salt and the water produced an unexpected response though. In an hour my intestines were crystal clear.

I can't believe it because I've always been a chocoholic. Go figure. I haven't had a Good and Plenty in decades.

I also loved Tootsie Rolls. I'm old enough to remember when they were long and thin and cost a penny. Wow, those were the days.

YUM! Salty balanced by sweet-chocolaty and minty!

and we could buy tons of candy real cheap. We would buy Atomic Fire Balls, M & Ms, Jaw Breakers, Red Hots, Neccos, Candy Cigarettes, Taffy, Candy Necklaces and these really disgusting flavored wax things that looked like lips and buck teeth. The owner of the shop was always in a bad mood. Maybe he just didn't have the patience to watch us count out our nickels and dimes when it was time to pay. The theater people never seemed to mind having us bring in our own food. Of course, this was during the summer when the theater had FREE matinees for kids one day a week. The movies were usually Tarzan or Three Stooges.Kids would be sitting in the aisles because they let everyone in even after the seats were all taken. It was a madhouse with kids running up and down the aisles and popcorn getting thrown from the balcony.One time they actually stopped the movie and the theater owner came out and said they wouldn't resume the movie until everyone sat down and behaved. LOL Thanks, Deb, for letting me reminisce about a funny childhood memory!

10 cent soda. 5 cents of candy. Mom only gave is a quarter each.

No wonder my teeth were riddled with cavities!

though.

I liked them but no one else did - so I got them all to myself.

bars instead of Milk Duds. Washed it all down with a giant coke. Heaven when you are a kid.

We went to the drive-in sometimes, because my father would simply pay for the carload. Then, we'd have a cooler full of water or Kool-Aid, and snacks from home. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the first movie I saw in a theater was Star Wars (summer of '77).

back some great memories.

heck if I can remember. Just knew I hated licorice, jellied stuff, snocaps, those little bean shaped candies that came in colours (wasn't that licorice too? don't recall) liked buttered popcorn with that orange looking salt... and a cola of course.

and fine grain yellow salt mixture. A bag was a dime or a box was 15 cents. If I decided to get candy instead I got “Flicks” that were chocolate drops that came in the bright colored foil tubes. They were a dime. Sometimes I got “Jujyfruits” or “Dots”. Those were a nickel from the candy machine. The movie cost was a quarter. What great memories! Thanks, Deb!😊🩷

My wife wants popcorn, but I just want chewy candy.
When I was a kid, I wanted Raisinettes, but when I got older I thought the chocolate was crummy.

And a large water. There used to be a kiosk in a nearby mall that sold popcorn and cotton candy, etc. I would frequently go there to get the large popcorn drenched in butter so I didn't have to go to the theater to buy it, which I also do on occasion without seeing a movie. After a while I had to stop because on my blood tests the cholesterol reading was ski high. I am an absolute fanatic about popcorn. It's nature's most perfect, and explosive, food.

At least I think that is what they were called. Chocolate with white sprinkles on them.

the concession stand would hand you a cup. There was a soda dispenser in the lobby. I’d put the cup under the spigot and punch buttons switching syrup flavors in the flow.

on their head.

If I'd just eaten, otherwise buttered popcorn

Costco sells 3lbs for about $15

That was a very special treat!
I only had them when I went to the movies.
I loved going to the movies!
I loved Bon Bons!

Wild Cherry Mason Dots.

We weren’t allowed to buy popcorn as it was too noisy to eat. Dad’s rule. So I got bon bons

I can still taste all those things the second I walk into a movie theatre.

I have a friend who still sends my boxes of movie theater nonpareils for Christmas.

Maybe a southern thing?
A Chilly Willy was an icy cold dill pickle plucked from a jar on the counter and placed on a wax paper bag, Extra special delicious because it was at the movie theater.

Dill pickles on a stick. Mighty refreshing on a hot summer day...

Still would get that at times in my 20' 30's, early 40s.

As an mid aged, and older afult sneak in my own snacks. 😄👍

I do love seeing a movie especially science fiction, occasional action in the past, a few fantasy films, and animation (Pixar in particular), on "The Big Screen". I really also liked "Dave", "The Amercan President", the one where the two Presidents go on the run.

I'm looking foward in '26 to Andy Weir's Hail Mary _____ ?(Project). I read the book. 👍

A soda and Milk Duds.

😡 Denise sucked.

With layered butter, and a water or unsweetened tea.

Otherwise why go to the movies LOL

in vanilla, strawberry, and banana, and Charleston Chew.
