It’s how they tested my nephew.

Put him in a room with Moana on the screen and a pack of room-temp hot dogs.

Positive diagnosis but he’s doing just fine

Everybody that does something you don't understand is not on the spectrum.

Cold meats are great. There ain't much difference in taste between a hotdog wiener and a vienna sausage, just one is cold when the other is typically room temperature. $3.00 or less for a snake at the movies is a smart move if you like wieners.

Dollar store, dollar tree, dollar general, and dollar what the fuck ever else has lead to a lot of decent grocery store chains closing. A lot of people use public transit, and shitty ass dollar type stores are the only place to get anything for many people. I often stop and buy backs of sandwich meat and eat it as I drive around from one job to the next. It fits in my diet, saved me $15 or more everyday not buying lunch at a restaurant or fast food joint, and I like the taste.

The only thing that annoys me about that guy is he makes me feel foolish for now having considered sneaking in some cold meat to the movies. Obvious really.

Legitimately though, me and my wife going to see the first Quiet Place in theaters was such a unique experience. Never have I seen a theater full of people so reluctant to make any noise at all. Like we were all scared to eat popcorn or open our candy because the monsters would get us lol.

Was at a theater once as a teenager, I woman came in and sat one row ahead of me. As the previews were playing she reached into her purse and pulled out a plastic tube bag of chocolate chip cookie dough... Peeled it like a banana and ate the entire thing... When she finished she reached into her purse and pulled out another one... I have no idea what the movie was but I'll never forget that...

I used to eat them cold when I was a kid too.It was always a quick snack, so I could go back outside and play.

Till this day, I still take a piece of cheese and cold cuts, squirt a little mustard on it and consider that a snack.

Once I witnessed a group of guys come in to a mostly empty theater and several of them pulled out hidden sandwich items. One guy had a loaf of bread, another pulled out some mustard, there were a few other condiments floating around as well as a pack of what I assume was some sort of turkey or other deli meat. They proceeded to set up some sort of sandwich making line and just continued to eat them throughout the film. I spent more time watching this play out than the actual film and was actually almost a little angry at how genius it felt at the time.
