The other day I was waiting on a long refreshment line in a large movie theatre- I can’t live without a soda during a movie. I thought the lady that was ordering snacks would take a while, because she was pretty fat. Sure enough, she orders $34 in assorted snacks and beverages. $34. She wasn’t old enough to be a likely mother, and I don’t think a group of friends would make her carry back all the snacks.
Wow!!!
I know the goodies at the theater are expensive, but $34 is a lot of stuff.
That had to be at least 6 items, if not more.

…So the only remaining option is that she is eating it all herself. What a fatty!
I see you are putting your unusually high intelligence and critical thinking skills to good use! (I hope this doesn’t cause you to become separated from everyone you know.)

I think he was more or less commenting on societies issues.

Maybe she was doing and old fashioned bulk.
Dave Tate style.
Should have told her that she could have paid for a month or two at a gym with all that money she just spent on “food”.
What he didn’t tell us was that a box of milk-duds is exactly $33.99.
What if she was just getting the snacks for herself and one friend (who is holding the seats)… this is an senario that happens quite often.
$15 / person really isn’t outrageous considering the what they charge. I think that last time I went to the movies it was close to $10 for popcorn and a soda.
Anyway, for some reason I find that I am a much happier person when I don’t try to figure out why other people (especially strangers) do what they do.

Now that’s one expensive date…
Also, I noticed that you typed “beverages.” Now, if she had ordered a bunch of assorted snacks and one (1) large (diet) coke, I would guess it was all for one person.

So? Are you shocked that fat people might eat too much food (particularly junk food)?
Of course, I used to eat unholy amounts of junk food too… but I had freaky metabolism as a kid and never managed to put on any weight (ah, good times).
Now excuse me while I go munch a carrot and reminisce.
What do you care ? Did she take your place in line or something ?
