My dad and I got kicked out of a movie when I was a little kid for brining in snacks. He didn't want me to have soda and candy as a 5 year old so he brought in juice and pretzels, a healthier snack that wasn't available at the concession stand. I never did see the entire movie, but I never forgot the lesson either. Just because something good isn't available, doesn't mean you have to partake in something bad. And while you're at it, stand up for your convictions.
Granted we could have snacked prior to the movie, but the lesson I learned that day was better than any movie.
That's a great question, and I love the thoughts. I've also heard the theater gets its Coke and drink products nearly free in exchange for advertising.

Wow! I can't believe they kicked you out. That's so encouraging to hear how the Lord has used that lesson in your life. Thank you for sharing.
Curious, do you remember what movie it was?

Interesting! I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for sharing this, Bo!
