Vilakins said: Zippy bags would cost them, but ordinary thin soft plastic bags like supermarkets sell bread in would work so much better than the crackly ones.
Once you're in the cinema though, it's a bit late to want to buy something, so the noise just annoys everyone else.
Local jaffa trivia Little cardboard packets of jaffas (see here used to be really popular here at films which was great; pity they're now in cellophane too. A real local icon, they're little balls, chocolate covered in a hard orange-flavoured coating: either crunch them or suck them till you get to the chocolate. They're such an icon, one is often served with coffee. Heh, I recently shot one right across the cafe by picking up my spoon, not realising they put one in the bowl. They make damned good projectiles, and some kids used to fire them at others in the cinema, and no one grew up here without at least once hearing a whole packet-load roll down the steps after someone accidentally dropped theirs. Jaffas and films went together in those days, I'm sure because of the little packets as well as the taste.
