Personally i have to have something to drink or eat while watching a movie, don't know why but I'm pretty sure most people do this, but what are the ultimate best snacks to eat while at the cinema or watching a DVD at home? That is why thefilmkiwi has compiled a list of the 5 best movie snacks to eat/drink/consume while watching a good film! Of course, these are just my ideas of what is best, others might prefer to eat a curry while watching their favourite film, i on the other hand don't.
So here it goes, starting with the 5th best movie snack!
So here it goes, starting with the 5th best movie snack!
#5 - Potato Chips/Crisps 
Delicious and nutritious (maybe), they are the perfect budget snack for watching a DVD at home and are not only tasty but do a reasonable job of filling you up somewhat. Unfortunately not ideal for the cinema as they may provoke an attack from behind with snifters/popcorn/half-eaten ice creams etc, as the constant crunching and crinkling of the packet does tend to irritate people.
#4 - Lollies (most varieties) 
4th on the list is lollies, sweet and full of energy (sugar) enough to put you through the same movie twice or thrice or keep you awake long enough to sit through a soppy chick flick romantic comedy. They do however provide little in the way of sustenance and often leave you wanting more, there just never seems to be enough in a bag of starburst jelly babies or fruit bursts! They also make substantial noise, and although not as much as chips still tend to become annoying if your hand cant quite find the opening of the bag frequently.
#3 - Jumbo Coke 
No, not Sprite, Fanta, L&P or Diet Coke... only Coke! Coke holds a special place in my heart, has got me through many late night last minute essays and provided me with hours and hours of endless fun! Oh and it has to be Jumbo, and although it will make you go to the toilet several hundred times during the movie this can be countered with equal amounts of absorbent foods or extensive training. Coke makes it to 3 nicely in the middle, after all we need some form of liquid to soak up the wide array of sugary/salty snacks we consume throughout the film! Great for the cinema or a quiet bottle at home.
#2 - Popcorn 
Yes popcorn! Everyone's favorite (usually), I don't however like it that much for some reason, possibly something emotionally scaring happened to me as a child with popcorn, i don't know, i just don't like it. My view is probably shared by most workers in the cinema who spend the majority of their time vacuuming and sweeping vast amounts of popcorn from floors and chairs. It is however an international favourite and liked by most movie goers which is why it made it to number 2, i don't mind it, it tastes ok sometimes soaked in butter and various other fatty toppings but i don't like it enough for it to get to 1!
#1 BEST MOVIE SNACK! - Lollipops!
Yes, i know lollipops you say, how could they possibly beat out popcorn? Ill tell you why, and the reason is simple simon! Hand-less consumption. If its one thing i don't like while watching movies, its moving around constantly placing things into my mouth, grabbing at things in the dark and knocking things over (maybe I'm just lazy but its true). Lollipops however provide a variety of flavours, they are sweet and provide energy via vast amounts of sugar. They are #1 because all you do is put it in and suck (stop thinking dirty!) and that's it! No need for waving your arms about grabbing food and putting it in your mouth, they are also the most cost effective with only 3 or 4 needed for the duration of the movie. Lollipops ARE the #1 movie snack!
Well there it is, now you all know exactly what to buy next time you go to the cinema or plan a DVD at home! Lollipops win out, but don't forget the Jumbo coke which funnily enough provides a nice arm rest extension. ☺
