Because I couldnt be fucked googling the exact price of items at McDonalds but the Double Quarter pounder meal was $15.30, the Happy Meal was $5.95 and her soft serve cone was $0.50
So we spent about $78 at the movies. On two tickets, a large popcorn, a bag of chocolates and two drinks.
While that all checks out, you should never buy all that stuff at a cinema stand unless you’re willing to take out a small loan. It’s always been a massive ripoff.
Its also the way movie theatres actually make money on newly released movies, so if enough people don’t buy food from theatres, they’ll just close down eventually.
Oh I know, I had planned to take her to see the movie but one day when I picked her up from Daycare there was absolute traffic chaos, gps reckoned my 20 minute drive was going to take an hour and a half so I thought “Lets go to the movies, grab some dinner and wait for this all to blow over.”
Because McDonald’s is the cheaper alternative to eating at the movie. Most of the places near me will bring a shitty bar food to your seat in exchange for a mortgage payment. If you make the mistake of going hungry, you’ll leave poor.
Why add the McDonald’s to the equation? Don’t blame the movies for McDonald’s prices.
