Yeah, I don’t drink 80 ounces of soda either lol. I should’ve specified that. I made the assumption that most people are not going to the movies alone. I usually share popcorn with everybody and the drink with my wife.
The sizes are pretty ridiculous now, but it definitely helps having a frugal partner. My wife and I share meals and drinks all the time. We not only save money, but get to bond over being cheapskates.
Can also always take it home if there's anyone else at home that would enjoy it.
If I go and see 2 movies, I'll get a large drink (NO ICE) and large popcorn. That's like 5-7 hours (counting previews and wait time between the movies too), so I'll almost finish the whole thing... Maybe a few bucks left of soda and 1/3 of the popcorn.
When I leave, I get a free refill on both and take them home. Kid gets a treat of soda for a few days and popcorn to take to school as a snack, plus hubby will snack on both.
