Some basic tips for sneaking food into the movies The conventional wisdom about sneaking food into movies include no-nonsense tips like: Bring only items already sold in the theater. Don’t bring anything too smelly. Big pockets are your friend. Stick it in your bag. Sneak food into the theater in your stomach, by eating it first.

The price of snacks at most movie theatres is outrageous and it is no surprise that lots of people sneak food into the theatre. Although this goes against most theatre policies, people are rarely caught and some employees will even turn a blind eye. The best way to get by security with snacks in tow is by hiding them in your clothing or bag.

Although enjoying a medium-sized pizza during the movie would be nice, it’s not the most discreet food to smuggle in. Instead, bring small snacks to the theater to hide them on your person. Grab bags of chips and thin, tall soda bottles that are easier to hide and carry into the theater.
