Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It's not technically outside food

I am not sure how you convinced yourself of this

Raw popcorn kernels are not digestible 'food.' Oil is not food. Salt is not food.

Combine. Add heat. Et Voila! Someone complain, bring in bags of powdered chemicals, beakers, reagents, and bunsen burners, and go to work.

It's all in the technical margins.

All 3 of those things are tax-exempt where I'm from, because they're food

Worth a try though

Tax-exemption opens up a whole other promising venue. Hibachi and a chartered accountant at the next movie night.

This could work.

If I bring my own food and consume it indoors it is indoor food. If I ate it outside, it would be outside food. /s

If I had to guess the idea is the food comes to the theater in a truck, too, is that also "outside food"?

Realistically though I think everyone knows you're supposed to buy the food in the theater - everything else is people being cute
