I don’t know about you, but anything at the movie theater these days is just way too expensive. With movie tickets costing about $10 each and snacks costing as much as a meal, it almost doesn’t seem worth it to go to the movies anymore. Sneaking candy into the movies has never been more enticing than it is today, but those extra snacks may be even worse than you think. Not only are movie theater snacks extremely expensive, but they are full of calories as well.
Have you ever wondered the nutrition value of movie theater snacks? Wonder no more, today’s infographic, The Scary Truth About Movie Theater Snacks is all about how bad movie theater snacks are. For example did you know a large popcorn with butter is the equivalent of having four cheeseburgers, or 1500 calories? What if you decided you wanted a small package of candy instead? It’s smaller it’s bound to be better for you right? Wrong, an 8 oz package of Reese’s pieces is 1200 calories. Ultimately a worse amount of food to calorie ratio. [Diet To Go]
