Why are concessions at the movies so expensive?  It seems absurd.  I went to the movies the other night and asked for a small Pepsi.  The guy hands me a cup the size of a thimble, and then asks for 5.25.  For 50 cents more I could forsake the thimble and trade it in for something that looked a little more normal; about the size of a medium drink from Subway.  5.75 for a cup of sugar water?  Don’t get me started on the $7.00 popcorn.  Get real!  This only drives people to smuggle in their own food.  It also drives them away from the movies altogether.
