Introducing the Munchkin-speaking grandma
I recently visited a blog called The Raisin Chronicles. The "About Me" went as follows:
"Dedicated to the proposition that as we get older, we turn into raisins -- a little darker, a little more wrinkled, and, one hopes, a little sweeter. And that anything that looks like a raisin should be covered -- preferably in a good, dark chocolate."
I knew right then and there, this woman had to be grilled. Thus, this week's Grilled Grandma: Jeanne.
Read Jeanne's grilling to find out:
1. What's up with the Munchkin reference? And re-enactments of The Wizard of Oz ... using Pez dispensers?
2. Which cardinal rule of grandparenting does Jeanne admittedly "stink" at?
3. In what way was Jeanne partially responsible for the water hazard at the museum?
Jeanne's a nut and one I'm sure you'll enjoy reading about in Grilled Grandma: Jeanne. But don't stop there -- you'll get an even bigger kick out of her blog. Be sure not to miss it!
Today's question:
For obvious reasons, mentioning Jeanne's blog has me craving Raisinettes. What is your favorite movie theater snack?

For me, nothing beats the popcorn - with extra butter drizzled on. Oh, my heart! Anyway - in childhood days, we'd go to movies with friends. The friends liked "gobstoppers," which were these huge hard-candy balls and inevitably, one of the gob stoppers would end up rolling down the sloped floor of the theatre.
That would be Sno-Caps. They are excellent when paired with popcorn and followed with a nice, mellow, diet Sprite.
Like Kathy, nothing beats the movie theater popcorn with extra butter; you need cola (don't care whether it's Coke or Pepsi or whatever) to wash down all the little husks that would get stuck in your throat without it.
I prefer munching on diet coke and popcorn. But, it is most often just the diet coke since we usually do dinner before or after the movie.
The grands love red vines and popcorn.
Haha. Covered in dark chocolate. Love it! Going to read it now ...
Just what I need, one more blog to add to the reader. Whew!
I love popcorn, diet sprite and most of all twizzlers. I love those red twizzlers..sometimes I plan a movie just so I can have them. I realize that I could just buy them and take them home, but it wouldn't be the same.
The buttered popcorn everytime! When I was a kid it was Milk Duds!!!
