    Because I couldnt be fucked googling the exact price of items at McDonalds but the Double Quarter pounder meal was $15.30, the Happy Meal was $5.95 and her soft serve cone was $0.50

    So we spent about $78 at the movies. On two tickets, a large popcorn, a bag of chocolates and two drinks.

      While that all checks out, you should never buy all that stuff at a cinema stand unless you’re willing to take out a small loan. It’s always been a massive ripoff.

        Its also the way movie theatres actually make money on newly released movies, so if enough people don’t buy food from theatres, they’ll just close down eventually.

        Oh I know, I had planned to take her to see the movie but one day when I picked her up from Daycare there was absolute traffic chaos, gps reckoned my 20 minute drive was going to take an hour and a half so I thought “Lets go to the movies, grab some dinner and wait for this all to blow over.”
