Movie theater popcorn/candy
What’s harder to digest? Movie theater popcorn has an average markup of 1,275 percent, or (with a soda) that popcorn has a caloric equivalent of three McDonald’s Quarter Pounders? Nutrition aside, concessions like $5 tubs of popcorn and $6 boxes of gummy worms are big revenue streams for movie theaters.
Since most theaters prohibit moviegoers from bringing in outside food and drinks, the way to save is to bypass concessions altogether.
