Thats crazy, 28 hot dogs? You will be out before the movie is even halfway done.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional 28 hot dog snack, but I'm not paying $8 apiece. That's insane.

"Diet"
if u remove the salad from ur burger it's fewer calories
Diet != caloric intake. It's a bastardization of the term born out of the dieting craze. Diet means the proportions of food an animal eats.
like how i'm on an all bacon diet rn but today i ate 3x as much bacon
You'll diet that rate.
Well even without the glizzy splurge you are talking $50 to have two people see a movie, so yeah the underlying truth behind the joke is still the same.
I'm so happy there's a dozen movie theaters in my area that sell like $4-8 tickets and food is also relatively inexpensive.
Where The national brands are charging $15 a show and food is Stadium prices.
I used to really love the cinema experience but I’ve only gone maybe twice in the last ten years. It’s not the price, which I agree is ridiculous. It’s because there is no longer anything worth the cost. Plus at home with my giant TV I can pause to go pee and eat anything I like.
someone help me budget this cinema outing
You beat me to it
You can get colorectal cancer much cheaper by just shoving 2 hotdogs each up your asshole.
That's only 14 hot dogs per person. Totally reasonable for two adults or six kids in trench coats.
This is why I don’t go to the movie theater anymore, Jesus Christ. Eight bucks for a hotdog?
What kills me is the popcorn is always incredibly stale. Even if they pop it there, it's from 10yo kernels and is all chewy instead of crunchy.
I get that prices go up, I'm not terribly mad at $15 tickets. Hot dogs have no business being over $5. The butter and container cost them more than the corn. The soda is maybe $0.75, cup included. If I could take the kids to a flick for a reasonable price, we'd go every fucking week.
That's a lot of glizzies.
Okay, well that really sucks. I thought I had the undisputed world record for most hotdogs in my mouth at the same time while watching the movie A Minecraft Movie but now I'm not so sure.
I think it's been years since I've seen a movie at a theater other than the drive-in.
We go to the drive-in for their movie marathon each year. $13/person. It's dusk to dawn so you can see five movies.
I'm the dad, so I pay for everyone: about 8 people in four cars.
I probably spend a few hundred on food and T Shirts (they sell tie-dyed shirts with custom art every year, so I buy a shirt for everyone in our group).
It's definitely a better experience and more fun than the best indoor theater.
eating competition in the movie theater
So you have chosen death....
Did they really eat 28 hot dogs?
Eat? No.
