I said Atkins Advantage bar, because I love them, but honestly I'd probably bring one from home...and buy a Z-Carb bar at the theater. Those are a treat.

The russel Stovers candies ROCK! I mane I absolutly LOVE them... they are made with sugar alcohols, so I know they might hurt some peoples bellies, but mine can handle it with NO problems at all.

LOL...and people were afraid that all that munching on Pork Rinds would be disturbing!! You really eat ribs at the movies - don't they smell the ribs on you when you enter the theater??

I picked a pickle although I can't imagine eating one during a movie. But give me one of those big huge one's on a stick and I can probably chew on the whole movie!

Wow, thank you guys so much for your input! Please feel free to continue posting as well if you have something else to add.

I think that the nuts are a great idea for people who aren't doing LC either. Maybe those smoked or toasted almonds are a great idea. I also suggested the Hershey's bars because the only place in this entire city I have seen them is at Costco. It makes it kind of a special find at the theatre if they stocked them.

I chose other bars since there's so many other things that I would choose. Of course, if there was such a thing, I'd pick LC popcorn. hehe But since it doesn't exist yet, (maybe someone will genitically engineer it to be carbless someday- hehe) my next choice would be SF Red vines. I ALWAYS had those growing up in the theatre. There's also those great SF chocolate covered peanuts-sorry can't remember the brand name (LC choccovered raisins would be great too if they could take the carbs out of the raisins). I agree with Tarheel, those carb slim peanutbutter bites are great. I also like those pria Low carb (2net grams/bar) peanutbutter bars from Costco. Those would be my choices, but I'd have to pack them in cuz if they did sell in the theatre I'm sure that they'd be 10 times more expensive then they are now at the store- which is already what I consider to be like movie theatre prices.

I guess it sounds like they are big dripping bones that I'm slurpin' on thru the flick...LOL... The ribs are just little tiny things and they are "dry" with just coarse pepper and salt on them.They don't have much of a smell actually. I LOVE them and can sit there nibbling quite happily without anyone being the wiser. (I refuse to buy the crap at the theatre for 500% more than at the store so I just bring my own bag of goodies)

Ummm, low-carb popcorn?

To be honest, by the time I went to the movie theatre and bought the type of items listed I'd be so broke I wouldn't be able to see the movie! If I make it to a theatre again I'll just have the popcorn because that will be one of my very special treats. We might see one movie a year.
