Once I brought full checkers meals in for my boyfriend and me. Burgers, fries, 2 milkshakes. Big ol purse and strategic stacking.

30-pack of beer. Hoisted on the shoulder in clear view while giving the theatre worker my ticket. Teenage minimum wage workers by end of summer DGAF.
Couple buddies and I all had trench coats back in the day with a bunch of interior pockets. Weโd have multiple two liters of soda and giant bags of popcorn and candy (we were teenagers and thought this was the coolest thing ever)
A cubic foot of baked ziti casserole with eggplant.
Back in the day 2 bottles of Boones Farm Strawberry Hills Wine Coolers. The big ones, 750ml. Both down my pants. 2 glasses to boot.
Back when I worked at a theater a lady brought in a full kfc family feast. No one stopped her because no one there was paid enough to have to deal with a lady being denied her family meal.
A pocketful of baked beans to munch on.
THIS MOTHERFUCKER EATIN' BEANS!
ime you can just walk in with bag of takeout, noone working a theater gets paid nearly enough to care about outside food.
A friend of mine did a 4 foot party sub in high school, and pizza was commonly done by having it delivered to the non-alarmed emergency exits.
Back in college; My friends and I once smuggled a whole pizza and a roasted chicken pretending to be backpackers.
And here I was thinking I was bad for bringing a foil wrapped burrito. Had to time my unwrapping...
But my purse is big enough, I think I could get away with a small tray of food.
16 6in sub sandwiches with chips crushed and sprinkled inside the sandwich. For our group I only had 2.
Also another time left over pot roast.
Dollar show theater we'd sneak in bottles of beer, picnic style food like sandwiches and trail mix, once saw some people divvying up a whole roasted chicken
sesame chicken and fried rice
Witnessed a take away laksa being consumed in a cinema once. I'm sure the seats were never the same in a radius around the culprit.
Back in the 90s my parents used to sneak a whole rotisserie chicken every now and then
A six pack of beer in glass bottles. For the midnight premiere of Jackass 2 in my college town. Theater was full. Everyone was drinking before and during the movie. It was quite the party.
A twelve inch sub, two bags of chips, a bottle of soda for each, and some Reese's cups.
I did the entire load except the Reeses.
This was back when FUBU was still a viable company. I could fit a full sized handgun in each pocket, so two drink bottles in one and a sandwich in the other were easy. Chips in the back pockets. With pants that loose, and a baggy shirt over the top, it wasn't even visible lol. Good belt helped though.
With a good coat in winter, I could smuggle anything I damn well wanted almost anywhere. Hell, anywhere at all that didn't search people, no almost.
Edit: me and my homie went together, it wasn't all for me
One of my friends once jammed an aluminium foil take-away container filled with spaghetti Bolognese under his jacket to take into the cinema.
Some guy two rows back brought in sushi once.
