You can’t sit through a 2-hour long movie without taking a sip of something. So, what’s your go-to cinema drink?
I asked the question and the people answered. We already dove into what snacks people enjoy while at the movies and it’s now surprise that popcorn won. Popcorn and cinema are an iconic duo, but you can’t sit with a dry mouth the whole movie through.
I’m not going to beat around the bush. I gave people four option alcohol, water, slushies or soft drinks (soda). I forgot to add juice, but let’s just pretend people don’t like it. Can you guess which one came out on top?
4. Alcohol
I was a bit surprised to see that alcohol wasn’t in the top three, but then I realized that most movie theaters don’t even serve alcohol. And I guess a large chunk of the audience is still too young to enjoy a beer or glass of wine. I wouldn’t mind some beer while watching Oppenheimer.
3. Water
You need to hydrate. I usually have a bottle of water and my drink at the movies. I need those 8 cups a day. It’s also great if you don’t want something sweet to drink during the film, which obviously makes water the healthier option.
2. Slushie
I heard a rumour that some theaters don’t sell slushies? Now I’m not much of a slushie guy, but I get why people like this frozen sweet drink. Now if they can combine coke with a slushie, then you’ll get my attention. Slushies are great, especially during the warmer months.
1. Soft Drinks/Soda
Once again to no surprise, the soft drink comes out on top. And in my case, it’s Coke. There’s nothing better than an ice-cold Coke to complement the buttery popcorn while enjoying a huge US$200-billion movie at your local theater. There’s just so much joy in this combination, and funny enough it works at home, but not as good.
So, what is your favourite drink at the movie theater?
