Life on Florida’s West Coast

Popcorn and the Movies

I have an old Kennth Cole bag we call Mom’s Movie Purse. It is vinyl, so setting it on the floor won’t hurt it. It is tall, so bottles of soda and juice fit inside. It is roomy, so we can stuff little bags of SmartFood popcorn inside. It has a little zipper section on the front, so I can slip my credit card and discount cards inside for easy access. In a nutshell, it is everything we need for a outing to the movies.

We prefer to bring our own food, which has a little bit to do with the prices at the concession stand, but mostly with the non-healthy options on the menu. Today Gigi had milk and I had unsweet tea. We both had SmartFood popcorn.

Every now and then, though, the temptation of the popcorn machines is fierce. We both love the smell of the hot “buttered” popcorn as it sits there in those massive glass containers. Today my movie club card spit out coupons for free popcorn along with my tickets. I was tempted — free is free, you know. After it was all said and done, we both avoided the temptation and stuck to out healthier snacks.
