Going to the movies might be a great night out, but it sure adds up after you’ve bought your ticket and loaded up on the obligatory snacks. This means that necessity drives many of us to do the morally dubious: sneaking our own food into the theatre.
Few of us out there haven’t surreptitiously smuggled a packet of Maltesers into the latest James Bond film, but it will soon become apparent that this is small fry. Now people are taking to Twitter to share the craziest food they’ve snuck into the cinema, and the answers are as baffling as they are hilarious.
What's the most outlandish food you've snuck into a movie theater? My top 2 are pints of Ben & Jerry's & dinner from Cheesecake Factory.

One guy brought in the bizarre combo of superfoods and Irish stout.
@LiliKjazz a plastic thing of blueberries and a four pack of guinness

Another went down a distinctly fancier route – we pity whoever was watching the movie at the same time as he was cracking into these.
@LiliKjazz crab legs.

This guy went for his very own Mexican fiesta.
@LiliKjazz A large bag of chiloso: I had three tacos, chips, queso, salsa, rice and beans and a bowl???? I stuck it under my letterman jacket

This person must have been hungover, otherwise there’s no excuse for this combo.
@LiliKjazz Turkish meat lovers pide/pizza, @pieholewhiskey (cherry flavor) and a chicken döner ??

Props to this person for bringing in chicken noodle soup, that is a seriously tricky transportation situation.

This is when you know the clean eating trend needs to die.

And lastly, who could forget the real MVP: this mum who brought in corn on the cob.

So there you go. Potential inspiration for the next time you go to the movies?
