Thats crazy, 28 hot dogs? You will be out before the movie is even halfway done.

Why would anyone pay $8 for a hot dog?

People, do not pay $8 for a hot dog, are you insane?

You can buy 8 hot dogs and 8 buns for $2.50. Why the hell would you pay $8 for one hot dog? You can't wait two hours to have a shitty hot dog?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional 28 hot dog snack, but I'm not paying $8 apiece. That's insane.

Haha hot dog but seriously $49.46 is too goddamn much for just the tickets, popcorn, and drink, and I believe those prices. For $10 more I can get two tickets to a live show and sneak in booze and weed, fuck your movie which I probably don't even want to torrent since they only do remakes and big IP now.

I used to really love the cinema experience but I’ve only gone maybe twice in the last ten years. It’s not the price, which I agree is ridiculous. It’s because there is no longer anything worth the cost. Plus at home with my giant TV I can pause to go pee and eat anything I like.

Well even without the glizzy splurge you are talking $50 to have two people see a movie, so yeah the underlying truth behind the joke is still the same.

someone help me budget this cinema outing

That's only 14 hot dogs per person. Totally reasonable for two adults or six kids in trench coats.

This is why I don’t go to the movie theater anymore, Jesus Christ. Eight bucks for a hotdog?

What kills me is the popcorn is always incredibly stale. Even if they pop it there, it's from 10yo kernels and is all chewy instead of crunchy.

I get that prices go up, I'm not terribly mad at $15 tickets. Hot dogs have no business being over $5. The butter and container cost them more than the corn. The soda is maybe $0.75, cup included. If I could take the kids to a flick for a reasonable price, we'd go every fucking week.

That's a lot of glizzies.

Okay, well that really sucks. I thought I had the undisputed world record for most hotdogs in my mouth at the same time while watching the movie A Minecraft Movie but now I'm not so sure.

I think it's been years since I've seen a movie at a theater other than the drive-in.

We go to the drive-in for their movie marathon each year. $13/person. It's dusk to dawn so you can see five movies.

I'm the dad, so I pay for everyone: about 8 people in four cars.

I probably spend a few hundred on food and T Shirts (they sell tie-dyed shirts with custom art every year, so I buy a shirt for everyone in our group).

It's definitely a better experience and more fun than the best indoor theater.

This is why I always try to get to the theater early, so when I come out of the show I paid for, there is still time to sneak into another movie.

Did they really eat 28 hot dogs?

eating competition in the movie theater

So you have chosen death....
