11 Things Minnesotans Have Snuck into Theaters (Besides Candy)

Taking my family of four to the movies now costs around $100. I love going to the movies, especially for the popcorn, but I don't go as often as I'd like because it's gotten so expensive. According to Statista.com, the average movie ticket price in 2023 was $11.90.

The tickets alone can easily total $50 for all of us, and the snacks, like popcorn and drinks, can cost almost as much as the tickets. People have been trying to save money at the movies for ages, often by sneaking in their treats. While candy is the usual choice, some Minnesotans admit to bringing in even more than that.

Just so you know, bringing food into a theater isn’t illegal. If you get caught, the worst that’ll likely happen is they’ll ask you to leave.

You won’t get arrested or anything like that. Most of the time, they’ll probably just ask you to take your snack back to your car or throw it away.

Speaking of snacks, The Takeout recently ranked each state's favorite movie theater treat.

Peanut M&Ms and Red Vines are popular around the country, but here in Minnesota, we’re all about Buncha Crunch. It’s my go-to, too! I love dumping the whole box into my popcorn to get that perfect sweet and salty combo.

Buncha Crunch is a top-ten all-time movie theater snack, but the little chocolate candies aren't number one according to the rankings below. Check out the full list to see where your favorite candy landed.
