What do you like to eat/drink while watching TV/Movies?

[Lilacs4Me]

Since my doctor decided to test my blood sugar after I turned 40 and hence made my life no fun anymore....the answer is: nothing.

Well, I take that back. I always have a mug of Chai Green Tea nearby, usually lukewarm or cold by the time I get around to drinking it. Nothing added. Occasionally a vegetable or something else with no sugar in it like nuts or cheese.

Fun times....

I *used* to snack on chips, popcorn, maybe a sweet here and there. If it was salty, I would have a coke zero with it. Not all the time, but more often if DH was having it with me. I could take or leave having food in a theater. It wasn't a big deal either way. If I drank a beer or had a glass of wine when sitting down to watch a movie at home, I would be sleeping before the opening credits were done. Without alcohol, I will usually make it at least 15 min longer lol

At the theater--buttered popcorn and a coke. Walking in the theater makes me crave those two things. Its like the whole point of going to the movies!

At home--usually nothing. But if the grands are at the house or if dd comes over for a marathon of whatever, we may have pizza (served on the coffee table, everyone on the floor around it) and drinks or popcorn and cokes/drinks or ice cream sundaes. With the grands we always watch a Disney movie and we always have something special with it. DD, its one of those (because its what we did when she was a kid) or we may make a run to Starbucks or Chick Fila before we start the movie or show.

If I go to a movie, which is almost never, I like to bring M&Ms or Snocaps. At home, unfortunately I snack in front of the tv a lot. Anything from fruit to Cheerios to pretzels.

Knitting has basically cured me of snacking in front of the television. I'll grab a glass of water and the next thing I know I've watched 3 episodes of something and I haven't even taken a sip of water.

Chips!

depends on the mood, such as cookie, water, spicy food... I like the spicy food too much, it can help me adjust my mood

 

[Prince_Hawkins]

It depends on the TV show, honestly.

Pizza, if it's The Walking Dead or any of my favorite "classics" on DVR.

Chicken wings & salad, if it's Survivor.

For other top favorite shows of mine, I will usually make a specialty meal that coincides with whatever mood that particular show puts me in.

It used to be soda, but since I have given that up I drink sparkling water. I like to have potato chips while watching tv.

Peanut M&Ms and a Diet Coke! At home, not really anything.

 

[CrankyDad]

Nothing. Healthier that way

DH and I will share popcorn at a theater. At home, sometimes have popcorn during a movie. DH drinks coke, I drink water

Typically I dont eat or drink while watching TV but on rare occasion if I have it in the house.... triscuits with ranch dip. MMMMMmmmmm. I only allow myself to buy it when the Triscuits go on sale for $1.88, which is rare. Not that I cant pay the normal $3, but they are so bad (plus the ranch dip) that I consider it a special treat and the sale price is the green light! If its not on sale for $1.88, I dont allow myself to get it! (They sometimes have a $2.50 sale..I wont buy it then either!). You should see my face when I turn that grocery aisle corner and I see all the yellow tags below the Triscuits with a big bold $1.88 !! Im sure the other customers think Im nuts!
