Couple Finds Ingenious Way To Sneak Snacks Into A Movie Theater And Avoid Egregious Concession Prices

Twitter Composite


The average price for a large bucket of popcorn at the movie theater sells for an average of $8.15, and costs them just 90 cents to make. I’ve seen a few Shark Tank‘s in my day, so I’m qualified to say those are pretty damn good margins. You throw in a large cherry ICEE ($6.29) and if you’re a sociopath, a package of Snow Caps ($4.49), you’re dropping almost 20 bills before the previews even start. Not to mention, the price of the ticket and the weed before the movie, a night at the theater is comparable to a night at the bar. And you don’t even get to black out and forget your problems.

Welp, Twitter user @Barrington_14 has found an ingenious way to solve the problem of overpriced concession snacks by giving away his baby to fill the baby carrier with enough snacks to feed a small army. Check out the hack below.

Well played. But in the future, just throw the snacks in the those big ass purses that literally every girl in America owns.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
