What's your go-to snack and beverage for your blu-ray? (1 Viewer)

[John Dirk]

T Occasionally I’ll have some bourbon but then I risk passing out before the movie is over.

Some risks are worthwhile. My risk calculator says this is one of them.

I use a hot air popper for popcorn and usually some ice tea.

 

[Dan_Shane]

Unsweetened iced tea and popcorn with an unhealthy amount of real butter and salt.

I don't let my Blu-Ray eat snacks.

I on the other hand am fidgety so I do eat some type of snack. Typically of a chip/tortilla chip variety, a chip with a dip if I'm feeling fancy, or popcorn (stove top popper using coconut oil and flavorcal theater salt, no butter.) During the week I drink water, on the weekends I have a pop. If I'm not hungry I'll snack on sunflower seeds to keep my hands busy.

It's rare I don;t have some kind of snack when I'm watching.

 

[Craig Beam]

Always a beer (or three). Once in a while I'll nom on some wasabi soy sauce almonds or a pepperoni stick.

 

[Dave Moritz]

Coca Cola and popcorn

 

[Robin9]

Whisky and ginger ale.

Just tried out HTF member Mark Booth's secret for making theatre-grade popcorn at home. Putting it the oven, after popping, for half an hour at 93 degrees Celcius was a marvellous trick. By the way - he writes "200 degrees" in his guide and I found out quite quickly that this was degrees Fahrenheit!

Coffee, or if it's in the evening, a glass or two of wine, & if it's later on in the evening, my favourite unhealthy snack, a slug of bourbon & a bit of 70% dark chocolate, I find they go very well together (it can go with the film, a western is bourbon, but a swashbuckler would have to be wine).

...but it's going to have to be coffee in the new year, I always go dry for the first three months.

Well I lasted six weeks this year. It's a troubled world we live in & I need the alcohol.

I have also tried feeding my Blu-rays snacks and offering them different beverage options but to no avail. They won't eat or drink anything.

 

[Winston T. Boogie]

Oh, wait I think I read that all wrong...I personally don't snack much but I do like some sort of cocktail while watching a picture.

Six weeks with no booze? That's madness, man!

My liver would strangle me in my sleep...

Sodastream Diet Root Beer and maybe a bag of chips. I'm concerned about staying hydrated than snacking.

 

[RICK BOND]

Smucker's Natural peanut butter with unsalted crackers. Arizona green tea,or Light ice cream with a lot of Fruit ! It's all Good ! : )

I may be incapable of watching Twin Peaks (or really, any David Lynch) without coffee. It can be decaf if necessary but the two are pretty intertwined in my brain.

Not sure if one could call it a snack, but nearly 30 years ago I showed Blue Velvet at medical school to some of the students. Had the laserdisc hooked up to a Barco projector in the very prestigious Anatomy Auditorium. Through quite considerable deviousness, I managed to order a huge cylinder of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) via the Department of Physiology. The audience were then able to have generous inhalations of laughing gas, every time Dennis Hopper started sucking on his inhaler in the film. Definitely glad I wasn't caught!

This is the topic for our next HTU show on September 6th. If you think you’d make a good guest and have interesting things to say about home theater snacking and hosting food for guests give me a PM please!

beverages too!

 

[John Sparks]

For my HT, no beverages other than water. My son tried the alcohol route and fell asleep...spilled it on himself but not on the carpet or chair...lucky him!. Me, only water. even though the carpet/patting is 10 years old, not good to spill something on it.

Candy is okay. The next day I use a flashlight to look under the chairs for wayward pieces.

Tried out my twin 2 year olds in the HT last week...that didn't work out...to squirrely. I'll try next year, hopefully they'll be more ....fill it in yourself.
