My main objection to this is a moral one–most theaters state that no outside food or drink is allowed inside of their theater.

When you bring your own snacks, do you sneak them in by “hiding” them in your purse or pockets?

I think there are two preferable alternatives–either sacrifice more of your money to pay for the theater’s concessions, or eat and drink enough before the show that you’re not hungry.
