What’s the weirdest thing you have ever snuck into a cinema?
After @Nicole_Cliffe asked her followers what their favourite cinema snacks are, there were some pretty crazy results, here are some of the most bizarre.
I would like to hear your movie snack system at the current time, be it lawful or smuggled.

Personally (true story) the weirdest thing I took into a cinema was some sushi, which I was promptly asked to throw away. Other people however, have got away with much more heinous snacks.
On Valentine's Day we snuck a ten-piece charcuterie board, including a full-size baguette, into Lady Bird. These are just the leftovers. pic.twitter.com/fTRwmMMyCu

How do you hide a whole tray of this stuff???
i once carried in a two scoop ice cream cone just sorta held inside my long coat like a bootleg watch salesman

Good luck not getting ice cream on your jacket, that’s gonna smell really bad...
As a former movie theater employee, I can tell you that I was most struck by the patron who brought a "Pickle in a Pouch" (and left said pouch behind). pic.twitter.com/s1SMkzqbIf

Uh, what even is a pickle in a pouch...?
when i was a teen, my mother & i used to go to the movies every weekend. she would bring an unpeeled mango, peel with a plastic knife & eat it during the movie.

A friend once smuggled a bottle of sparkling wine and an entire cooked frozen pizza into Age of Ultron. We popped the wine in the bathroom while repeatedly flushing the toilet to muffle the sound.

I literally have no idea how you could sneak a WHOLE PIZZA into a cinema, it still feels kind of cheeky just bringing in your own bottle of Fanta.
Apparently though, cinemas actually don’t mind what you bring in as long as it’s not hot food or alcohol.
Right in the U.K. you’re allowed to bring in whatever you want as long as it’s not hot food or booze so we brought a full Sunday roast to Black Panther complete with TV trays

If this is true, then surely the challenge is now on for people to get the weirdest, most elaborate thing possible past the ticket booth!
