BYOS (Bring Your Kennedy Bustos
Let’s face the simple yet emphatic truth — the quintessential movie experience is not complete without snacks. Creature comforts exist for a reason. There exists an inherent bliss in settling into a comfortable chair with your favorite beverage in hand and a bowl of something sweet or salty ready to be devoured. Now that movie theatres are once again back in action, a question brews in the minds of many movie-goers: is it socially acceptable to bring your own snacks to the theatre?
In the age of streaming services, those who attend movie screenings are paying for the experience — not the convenience. Those who frequent movie theatres are inviting themselves to the atmospheric sensory smorgasbord: the buttery scent of popcorn floating through the air, the surround sound vibrating straight to your bones, the screen monopolizing every inch of your vision. Yet, if you want to embody the movie experience to its fullest extent — if you want to snack to your heart’s content — you’ll have to shell out a questionable amount of money.
