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.

One of my friends once jammed an aluminium foil take-away container filled with spaghetti Bolognese under his jacket to take into the cinema.

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.

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 cubic foot of baked ziti casserole with eggplant.

Couple buddies and I all had trench coats back in the day with a bunch of interior pockets. Weโ€™d have multiple two liters of soda and giant bags of popcorn and candy (we were teenagers and thought this was the coolest thing ever)

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 in the 90s my parents used to sneak a whole rotisserie chicken every now and then

Back in college; My friends and I once smuggled a whole pizza and a roasted chicken pretending to be backpackers.

ime you can just walk in with bag of takeout, noone working a theater gets paid nearly enough to care about outside food.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
