You're like HN comment I saw last weekend that didn't believe people saw iPhones as status symbols anymore because he didn't see them that way.

But while we're sharing anecdotes, I've never heard of someone sneaking in a large-gulp Coke and a bucket of popcorn, for one. -- The two things people seem to unanimously be holding in their arms as they enter the movie.

I once saw a person smuggle in a small bag of microwave popcorn in his hat.

Except he had overcooked it and it smelled terrible.

My family always "smuggled in" popcorn and snacks. Especially the candy. We'd have bought it at the theatre for a small markup, but the prices were just insane.

Now, I simply don't buy anything at the concession stand at all. Years of eating poorly have taken their toll and I'm paying the price.
