Could you explain what raisinettes and Goobers are please? Ta. |
|
| |
Chocolate-covered raisins and chocolate-covered peanuts, respectively (if my memory serves; it's been ages since I spent money on cinema food). |
|
| |
I'd say the reason is that they'd stand to lose money. |
|
| |
If you'd buy raisinettes AND goobers in the same box, then you'd definitely buy raisinettes OR goobers alone at least, and might even buy raisinettes AND goobers in two different boxes. |
|
| |
Because then you'd shake them out, eat them together, and it would be like eating a chocolate/ peanut/raisin cluster, so why not just sell those instead. |
|
| |
Good idea. Truly. But I hope you guys aren't paying those high prices. I always just bring my own goodies to the theatre. |
|
| |
There's no need to really smuggle it, either. Especially at daytime shows. My friend once set his can of Pringles and bottle of Pepsi on the counter while he dug out his money to buy his ticket, and then picked them up again and walked in. |

I am almost certain that such a product exists. Its name escapes me. I bought them in Preston (Lancs) once. But surely it can't be _that_ difficult to mix them together in a bag? |

What's 'Turkish delight'? It sounds like something you might see in a pr0n movie... |
|
| |
You are really missing out if you haven't had Turkish Delight, Mr Tyger. |
|
| |
It's a sugar/cornflour confection with rosewater flavouring, chopped walnuts (if it's authentic) and rolled in powdered sugar. You can also buy it chocolate coated, but that is a Westernisation. It is unbelievably sweet, and goes well with strong black coffee. One heightens the flavour intensity of the other because of their opposite nature. |
|
| |
Available (or should be) from Lebanese or Turkish Kebab places. |
|
| |
Or make your own (see link). |
|
| |
It is possible to buy choclate covered raisins and peanuts
in the same packet, but it's really more of a health food
shop thing, although it's not not really that healthy. |
