  • great idea popcorn sucks anyways and has enough salt in it to kill a horse or a donkey 

  • theres a lovely Dollar Tree on one side of the theater and a yogurt place on the other side :3

  • in san jose ca at the theaters that i go to(amc), they offer okra/ egg plant chip water and trail mix bar for 4 bucks.. not too bad. under 350 cal

  • hahaha I'm a healthy eater and i'm not into junk food and sweets very much....but c'mthefuckon.... popcorn and candy are part of the whole movie theater experience.

  • Sadly the only way I could eat vegtables is blending it in as a smoothie or putting Dressing like Ranch on it :C

  • @ChibiMiddleFinger

    I completely agree. Sitting and staring at a screen for 2 hours straight is unhealthy enough already; why do we need to also eat junk food?

  • And Snowcaps.

  • there going overboard with this health thing i rarely watch movies in theater but when i do i want the most unhealthy buttered up popcorn available

  • me and my ex bf used to sneak in sushi. my purse always smelled like soysauce :)

  • The guy subbing for Cenk is actually pretty good. I wish they had him more instead of Ben the Buzzkill.

  • I ain't paying 10 bucks for an apple.

  • I just sneak shit in inside my girlfriends purse =P

    It's free, and it's not an airport. They don't check.

  • How about you don't eat AT ALL and just enjoy the film?

    I know it probably sounds hard to some people in the USA, but trust me: you WILL survive even if you sit for two hours without stuffing your mouth with food!

  • brians obviously fucking ana, look how she acts to everything he says

  • I am allergic to popcorn, the huge drinks make me need to pee half way through a movie and I too old for candy. I would like frozen yogart.

  • I personally think this is stupid,Movie theaters are meant for like a fun enjoyable, sit down eat salty snacks and candies while watching movies. If I wanted an apple to the movies then why go to the movies, in the movies you sit on your ass for 2-4 hours to watch a movie...why eat the apple? It is like the girls who is eating 4 big macs, 5 large fries, 3 frosties, and a diet soda cause you don't wanna be fat!

  • As long as they don't get rid of the popcorn it's fine to me :D

  • I kinda gotta feeling he was really into Ana.

  • I unsubbed from TYT because I was sick and tired of this geyser. Such a jackass. Anywho... I'm for the idea of them replacing fruit's & veggies for lame ass popcorn, a lot more delicious but I also agree it would be a lot more expensive.

  • Our local theater has banned any purses or bags larger than a small handbag. Pretty much anything big enough to smuggle in a candy bar is banned.

  • @KrisNas1 Put it in your bra lol.

  • Lol @ the video before this. This rule should be enforced!

  • we used to bring in burgers from mcdonalds or burger king, stuff em in our coat pockets and walk right on in. sit down and start unwrapping a big double quarter pounder while everyone else in there in munchin on popcorn. good times!

  • haha Never.

  • Anyone who makes Ana laugh is alright in my book. TYT needs to make Brian a permanant guest co-host.

  • packing snacks!!

  • it'll probably be like 5$ for a fruit cup too. If i eat anything at a movie theater, i brought it with me

  • $5 would be cheap, try $10

  • Why not have both. Maybe i want a Apple and some Popcorn.

  • This idea is a hit and miss for me. I still despise health food Nazis though.

  • I don't mind them bringing in healthy foods as an alternative. I wouldn't buy them, but that's only 'cause I don't eat anything from the concession stands anyways. I usually only buy something to drink.

    Oh and kudos to Ana for doing it ghetto style and bringing in your own snacks. That's how we did it growing up. ; )

  • Ok, if I can get lotta melted BUTTER on dem veggies !

  • Why do people think fruit is healthy?

    Yes it contains a lot of vitamins, but guess what else it contains? Fructose aka. sugar aka .carbohydrate aka. eat too much of this and sit on your ass all day and you will get fat.

  • @immanuelx2 That is not the way weight gain works. The biochemistry involved is much more complicated than that. Fructose/sugar/carbs, especially naturally occuring ones, aren't the problem. The sedentary bit you mentioned is ofc true. The RATIO of these sugars to nutrients in fruits is insane, as is the speed in which they are digested. Compare that to junk food, which contains INSANE amounts of butter/sugar, and basically NOTHING in the nutrient group / vitamin area.

  • where's cenk?

  • they fired cenk when they found out he was a gay conservative

  • I'm getting some popedcorn now. lol

  • i wouldn't mind if there was a jamba juice concession stand at the movie theater. we could drink healthy instead of having those giant blue and red sugar slurpees.

  • Some movie theaters sell dinners like Studio Movie Grills yum lol why should I eat popcorn when I can have my grilled chicken sandwich?

  • mmm...you know, maybe not replace popcorn but I think I'd like something a little healthier would be cool.

  • i dont buy anything from the concession stand. i eat before/after or like Anna i smuggle the stuff in. im not into the junk food and the shit costs too much anyway.

  • @headymoe

    i sneak in my stuff :)

  • I still don't know why people don't just bring their own food. At my theater water cost $5.00. $5.00 dang dollars. Fruits at the theater is great.. but instead of paying $3.00 or whatever the hell they will charge for an apple bring your own.

  • i'd rather watch movies @ home, ppl still go to theaters?

  • wheres Cenk?

    This new guy's hitting on ana...but I think she's into it..

  • The reason why food costs so much at the cinema is because they don't make enough to run the place just selling tickets, a lot of it goes back to the producers and distributors. They subsidise this income by selling gigantic popcorn.

  • fruit and veggies in theatres?

    The mass produced junk food they sell is way too expensive already, imagine how much they would charge for FRESH fruit and veggies?

    I agree with ana, just smuggle your own ;)

  • $5 dollar bananas? No thanks.

  • COme on. We're all packin' goods into the movie house. Soon, before you know it, we'll have all body scans to check if we're packing outside products.

  • i'd say beef jerky but beef jerky smells

  • Buying fruit cost more than candy. It seems a good idea to have healthy food options, but healthy foods cost more than other foods that's unhealthy (to some or most people). If I see yogurt being $1.50 when I can get it for $.50 at a grocery store, I'm sneaking that one in.

  • LOL my husband and I always stuff snacks and drinks in my purse.. but I always end up buying popcorn too!

  • Nothing like a bowl of grapes to feel like Roman nobility :)

  • on a vine of course, anything less would not be worth it.

  • quit paying attention to what americans do then fool. foreigners always bitchin about americans. smh

  • who doesn't bring there own food to the movies everybody i know does that

  • Everyone hit view all comments, theyre once again redoing the format and its going to spread to these pages too

    They did this crap to us with the beta channel they must be stopped

  • my success rate for sneaking stuff in movies have been 100%, and i do it all the time

  • Haha, Ana is too adorable

    Though she can act like a spoiled little girl sometimes...

    She is still super adorable

  • The theatres by my house has been selling carrots, celery, and cherry tomatoes trays for the past 18 months or so there are Yogen Fruz bars too. it's a nice alternative, and alot of people buy it.

    The only downside about it is that its not cheaper than the junk food you can get at the threatre, but i live in canada it might be cheaper for you all living in the states.

  • Nope not here in the states, we don't have that alternative snack

  • I'm so glad they don't want to replace popcorn and other traditional movie time snacks.

  • I think this is a terrible idea. You KNOW they won't do it right. They'll serve the fruit in high fructose corn syrup and the veggies in tons of dressing with bacon bits and cheese.

  • I think this is a great idea. As long as we still can buy our good ol' fatass popcorn and soda. I don't wanna see shit change, 'cause it's tradition, but healthier options are a great idea. Besides, this way, dumbasses can't sue the theater or restaurant for selling them food that males them fat. lol

  • Now I can spend a hundred more dollars on a Small Fruit Cup when I go to a theater.

  • Anna is so cute lol

  • There should be an option of fruits and veggies at the theater. I bring a snack with me if I go to the movies because I don't want to eat the nasty shit they have there.

    Don't take away the candies and popcorn; just add stuff other people will enjoy.

  • I'm all for it! :D

  • how about i just watch a video at home and skip the line of people waiting for a vegetable. i could go to the grocery store for that.

  • There are many healthy organic snacks.

  • that would be great but unfortunatly it would also be unprofitable, as some people would rather die than eat healthy.

  • Do you know how stink rotten fruit can smell? I tell you what, Once those unruly high school kids goes in there and hide a couple of bananas or other fruits and the movie attendants can find them for days. The fruit flies will starts to swarm and the smell will run the people out of there, then who will be watch the movies then?

    I don't think its a good idea.

  • not a bad idea, doubt its gonna catch on. but not a bad i dea. so long as like they say, its optional not forced

  • If you touch my milk duds you are fucking dead.

  • I hope the fruits/vegetable aren't insanely overpriced

    like the theater-junk foods are.

  • Lmfao, candy ham.

  • I took in a stake dinner with me once.

    It was from a chip shop/restaurant down the road.

  • I think it's a really good idea.... I'd really love a fruit cup lol

  • He doesn't want a healthier America, he wants more people to go to the movies by hitting a demographic that is neglected in the service, so he can make more money.

    Small popcorn is like what $5.00?

    Imagine how much a fricken carrot stick would cost because it is better for you?

    :P

  • I highly doubt they will totally replace movie junk food but I can see and understand them as a second choice.

  • I like this new guy, he's funny.

  • fuck this guy

    only a damn fool pays money for that shit. i know i stop by wal-mart and get a bunch of shit and then burger king for a few double cheeseburgers and my friends and i have a great time

    fuck i'm paying 4 dollars for a damn hot dog for???

  • Won't bother me none. My movie theater has a critically acclaimed resteraunt upstairs and an open bar! I eat stuff like steak and salads while drinking Bacardi all the time LOL

  • hmmm.

  • This is a good idea! But to see how successful this will actually be will take time. Il certainly get some of those ( from time to time! =P).

  • I like that guy almost as much as Cenk. Ever since I saw him on "It's Always Sunny" I would probably vote for him to be president. Probably not actually, but definently a senator.  If they would turn his mic up a little though it would be nice...

  • What's in it for Sony? Free publicity, makes Sony appear like they actually care, etc..

  • LOL this dude is hilarious.

  • Where is Cenk =/

  • YEAH CANDIED HAM!! thats what i wanna knaw on while i watch a movie

  • Putting healthy foods in theaters won't help the obesity problem...

  • I swear I don't get how Yogurt is healthy.

    The problem with fruits and veggies is that they have a very short lifespan, and it'll get way too expensive. Popcorn is extremely cheap to store and make. Sneak the fruit cup in. Or just eat it at home.

  • hey what happened to the other guy

  • Damn whats with all the food stories lately.

    Where's Cenk? He under the weather miss that guy.

  • Title is a bit misleading, don't you think? I don't mind alternative, as opposed to replace.

  • healthy snack in theaters? gtfo plz

  • Comment removed

  • ya i agree i love having fruit cups i am american but the problems is i cant find pants that fit me anywhere caz according to jean sizes in america i am a size 0 i always sneak something healthy into the movie theater if i go sometimes i do buy the stuff there but i hide fruit cups or a sandwitch or something i never eat low fat stuff caz its worse for u but i will drink a large icy with the sandwitch or fruit cup i only got the pop corn once caz i was sharing it with friends

  • haha i cant say your wrong

  • lol

  • Who the fuck said these are liberals?

  • yah i kno righ?

    Caring for you body is duuuummmbbbb

    Fuckin' redneck

  • so u dont like the idea of having healthy stuff in movie theaters caz if u dont then u r the dumb one

  • @LSUSAINTSFAN337 It's called having fun, maybe conservatives need learn about it?

  • yeh this would be awful it would mean higher prices for the companyies having to replace all the fruit which go off

    and anyway hasn't anyone heard of sneaking in your own food

  • ya but if u get caught doing that they make u throw it out and it is supposed to be illigal to do that or something

  • @kazooga1234

    well it is possible to get thrown out depending how strict they are but it isn't illigal otherwise we'd have people in prision left right and center lol

  • @riotguards well if they get caught and refuse to get thrown out then that is when u could be put in prision but most people once thrown out just leave and dont make a a big deal about it

  • Only suckers will pay $5 for an apple in a movie theater. Normal people will just bring their own apples.

  • I don't even think the junk food at movie theaters is tasty. The popcorn tastes like crap.

    I'd rather have the stuff that Ana was talking about, like yougurt and granola bars. If you want a healthy alternative to chocolate, you can enjoy some raw, organic cacao beans. They taste like coffee grinds, but hey, they're good for you!

  • foods they need to sell at the movie theater snack bars, bacon, hamburgers, pasta, fried chicken, philly chease steaks, sub sandwitches, fries, steak, and lobster

  • @CyberSpartan66 word to the philly cheese steak but who the fuck is gonna buy a lobster at the movie theaters

  • oh fuck ya man!

  • um hell no that would cost way to much to even to attempt to have and with most theaters they r also at malls so people would rather go to a cheaper place that has those types of food and at a movie theater u r supposed to just snack not have a meal and a good snack food is a fruit cup or twilers if u ate and want desert or something

  • fatass lmfao

  • I'm surprised he's surprised. I bring my own shit to the movie theater all the time.

  • same eventhough you arent supposed to

  • Cenk?

  • Even though I try to eat healthy, knowing movie theatres, it's probably going to cost $5 for ONE apple!

  • That dumbass needs to leave. Bring Cenk BACK NOW! =\

  • @DanielJoseDiego

    HE NEEDS VACATION TOO YOU SELF SERVING DICKS!

  • Canadian? AHhaHAhaHAHaHAHHAHahAHahAHahAH­ahAHahHAHAhAHahaHAhHAHAHahAHah­AHahAHhaHAHahaHahAHahAHahAHhaH­AhahAHahAHahhahaHAhHA I needed a good laugh.

  • I don't care what they sell just as long as they bring those freakin' ridiculous prices down. SIGNIFICANTLY DOWN.

  • I would definitely go for fruit - pineapples, kiwi, grapes, blue berries strawberries and mangoes!

  • Pineapples, hell yeah.

  • Did anybody else think he was gonna say "touch yourself" and not "touch your cell phone?"

  • Yep.

  • I bet the healthier foods are gonna cost as much as to see the movie.

  • Im all for options, go forward, just dont ban shit i want my popcorn damn it!!!

  • i won't eat anything at a theater that i don't already eat outside of it...so granola bars are out.

    if a theater wants to invest in healthier options for movie snacks, i'm sure people will buy that. it's their business. i'll stick to my nachos, and the guy eating fruit next to me isn't hurting me, so it's all good.

  • A lot of Canadian theaters have Yogen Fruz in them. But honestly, it's just over priced healthy food I wont buy, instead of over priced unhealthy food I dont buy.

  • i think its a great idea

    :)

  • If people were willing to buy dog crap then the theaters would be selling it for $20 a pint. Which would be fine. If theater operators want to add healthy food, more power to them. If anyone,but the theater mgt., thinks they have ANY right to mandate ANYTHING regarding food choices, they are full of a $20 pint.

  • I understand their concern for people's health, but let's be realistic. People are messy as hell in the movie theatres! LOL! Not only will you be making a bunch of noise by stepping on spilled popcorn, but now, you get to slip on a fucking grape, too!

  • Also, like Cenk's replacement guy said, you're basically sitting on your ass burning no calories for 2, maybe 3 hours. Wouldn't the logical plan to fight obesity in this case to be to offer NO FOOD AT ALL? I mean, just eating vegetables and fruit does not magically make you lose weight. It's not what you eat, it's what you DON'T eat that makes you lose weight.

    And besides, people are always going to just run out to Burger King after the flick anyway and get a whopper and fries.

  • Who the heck even needs to eat at a movie theater? Can people really not go an average of two hours without eating?

    And about offering vegetables and fruit...that would be kinda gross. It would be on the same quality level as the crap you are served in a hospital or a high school cafeteria, more than likely. I like my vegetables and fruit to be very fresh (if raw) or prepared properly (if cooked). I don't want an apple that's been sitting in the lobby for who knows how long.

  • Fruit, veggies, etc; these are all things our wives, if they want, bring in their purse anyways. "Packing snacks" is hardly anything new.

    Their rules about foreign foods are actually illegal & unenforceable in most states.

  • i like the idea:)

  • Ahh the veggie maffia conspiracy!!!

  • Good luck, Americans need their fat.

  • how about a lean steak? Or some grilled chicken? Instead of the crap hotdogs they usually have.

    along with the veggies...

  • lol i kinda like this guy better than cenk

  • This is the most misleading title I've seen in a while.

  • that guy wants to fuck ana

  • Hard to blame him

  • Misleading title? I hate when people use misleading titles to boost their view count. Ana says within the first 20 seconds that the healthier options are NOT replacing popcorn at all.

  • Who doesn't sneak their own junk? Personally I even smuggle my own soda in O.o;.

  • lol

  • "fruit cup"

  • great I can pay 5 dollars for a single grape

    let me guess If I want fruit dip I have to put it on my fruit salad fuck the movie theatre

  • This guest host is so great, everything he says is a dry joke.

  • ahahahahhaa Brian is awesome. :D

  • Am I the only one who brings a snack because they actually have movie theater popcorn? I even dislike the smell of it.

  • Popcorn is fine if you don't sell it in a 5-gallon bucket.

  • we are not aloud to bring stuff into the cimema over here.. we have to buy them in the cimena shop lol

  • I bring my own snacks to the theater just like Anna. I bring healthy food and beer!

    You Americans are so fucking fat. It is time to lose weight!

  • I enjoy fruit. I would choose that over pocorn and candy "almost" any day of the week, but I don't want that at the movies.

  • Popcorn is nasty! It is good to sell fruits and veggies. Also sell beer please!

  • Lol that guy is smooooth :P

    I like him =3

  • Dude, an apple will be $5 in the movie theater.

  • This already Exsist in Denmark but year i would stil get my popcorn:)

  • Brian is a great co-host!

  • I don't mind healthier food options--but theater food is already expensive, imagine how much fresh food will cost.

  • rarely do i eat popcorn at movie theaters(or any major food at movies)

    I'm more of the drink type.

  • lol i thought the guy was funny. ana is an 85 year old lady with her yogurt.

    i agree with the comment about food being cheaper

  • the guy with ana pisses me off so much... hes such a douchebag... i hate it everytime hes on the show

  • how about making the food cheaper?

  • Have a healthier otpion. Sure. Why not?

  • have them spoil there and go to waste? sure if the illusion of healthier eating makes ppl feel better.

  • How about headphone jacks in the seatrests so I could bring my own gear.

    Would love to go to the movies and actually hear only the movie without all those assholes talking to eachother or on their phones.
