[How To] Scam Popcorn from a Theater

[Cryt]

[imgl]http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/3940/2007421144213231xk0.jpg[/imgl]The idea that movie theaters can charge more for popcorn than for the actual movie is absolutely ridiculous. when you go to a movie and already have to pay $8.75 and then another $7.50 for a large popcorn. Altogether bringing your bill of the movies up to $16.25 FOR ONE PERSON. Now if your bringing your girlfriend, try adding an extra $8.75 for her ticket. Anyways... Moving along.

What you need.

• Balls
• No shame
• Enough courage to steal from a movie theater
• A love for popcorn
• A trash can/empty movie theater that just let out
• A theater that gives free refills on large popcorns
  

Seeing as just about everyone on these forums has all of those we can move on.

Step One
Go to the movie theater with free refills on large popcorns. This is crucial because without it, you will not be able to scam the popcorn.

Step Two
Buy your movie ticket and start looking for groups of people that just got let out of a movie. If you don't see any, start reading step three and just ignore the first half of it.

Step Three
Go into the theater that everyone is comming out of, and look at all the seats. Find an empty seat with a large popcorn sitting in it, if you don't see any, start going row by row on the ground searching. If you find none go on to the next step, otherwise skip to Step 5.

Step Four
If you could not find any popcorn it is time to take more desperate measures. In most movie theaters, there are trashcans right by the door to leave that theater, grab out your cell phone for light and find yourself a popcorn container. DO NOT DIG, if there are none on top, move to the next theater across the hall and try there. You will find one, trust me.

Step Five
With your large popcorn begin to walk fast paced like your in the middle of a movie, and want to get back. Rush to the front of the line, butting if you have to and get "your refill". Once you have acquired this, request butter, and go grab some salt. Head into your movie and enjoy your free popcorn.

Now.. This does not have to do with world of warcraft, or mmo's so I have to add some correlation. When people go to the movies they always buy popcorn (if you don't, then shut up). It is automatically put onto there "how much my stupid movie cost" reciept in there head. When you no longer need to buy popcorn, you save that $7.50 or whatever it is for your theater. With that $7.50, you can use it to.

• Buy Gold
• Save for a battlechest
• Save for a larger amount of gold
• Buy powerleveling

ALL FREE depending on how you look at it.


Part 2. (sorta...)

Protecting yourself
A lot of people have been complaining that this is disgusting... and just sad. It is not sad. And it can be clean, if you follow these simple steps!

Step one(and only)
Alright fellas, now that you have your super dandy, ultra cool bucket of popcorn, rip it. Start tugging from each side until it rips. Not so much that it looks like it was on purpose, but to the point that it needs to be replaced when asking for a refill. For all of you germ-a-phobes, this is the solution!


Why this is not sad
No. This is not sad. America's theaters have taken advantage of us too long. We are not doing this because we can't afford the popcorn. We are doing this because popcorn cost, for an entire bucket, and the death sauce(butter) about $0.10. I am not a fan of being charged $7.50 for a ten cent bucket of delicious, buttery popcorn. You do the math, they are getting over a 75% rate of profit. Fair? I think not.

So that is my tested, and working guide on how to scam popcorn. Enjoy everyone!

I like it. I just don't think the local theatre does free popcorn refills.

[TheGreatRowaH]

Medium Bucket of popcork = 4.45
Large Bucket of popcorn = 7.50
Getting a heart attack because of all the trans fat = priceless

[Dracle]

Really really creative

[Haitamo]

lol i love the post just kiss ur girlfriend when watching the movie am sure her tongue is more tasty than popcorn

[Billy]

My local theatre does it with drinks, too, so if they do you can pull off the same thing.

[Saaen]

lol, what if your seen shifting through the trashcans, and some little kid comes up to you and says to you (as the kid that did it to me correctly phrased it) "Are you a hobo? Or do you like to eat garbage"?


I followed the guide perfectly and that still happened? What am I doing wrong?


Cryt, please help me!

Good, except for the part where you ask for butter. The "butter" they put on popcorn is not butter. It's basically just salted liquid fat, and I'm not joking in the slightest. Popcorn is good with real butter, but the shit they put on it in movie theatres is not only gross, but is basically a heart attack in liquid form.

[hugmepls]

Indeed very creative, made me laugh..

too bad there isnt such refill thing at austrian theatres^^

[Weekday]

But in Sweden the movie theaters are clever and don't do refills ^^ ; )

[7itanium]
