[Volume 8 Issue 7, #1761]

如果閣下係90年代前出世, 我諗你應該仲記得我哋以前啲舊式戲院, 無論喜歡食乜飲乜, 都可以光明正大理所當然咁全部帶晒入場.. 所以當時有各式零食如蝦片同瓜子, 有用膠袋打包然後用尼龍繩綁住一邊嘅汽水, 有用膠袋裝住放好多酸梅粉嘅水果, 有用蠟紙包住然之後辣椒醬不停滴出嚟嘅漢堡包, 有一盒一盒嘅美味炸雞等等.. 當然今時今日嘅摩登戲院, 為咗各位觀眾喺戲院內嘅舒適, 我哋係限制性地只可以帶特定食物同飲品入場, 而且必定要向戲院購買.. 身為馬來西亞人, 我哋都算係幸福喇, 因為食物選擇算係多, 由爆谷到薯片到熱狗到魚旦都應有盡有.. 不過我的確好支持禁止魚旦入場, 因為實在係超級大陣味!! 至討厭隔離有人食魚旦, 喂, 你究竟係嚟睇戲定野餐唧??!! 講開又講, 我哋都知道呢個係戲院壟斷手法, 逼使每位觀眾都只可以買戲院提供嘅食物, 當然大條道理殺你一頸血啦.. 我就係一個非常不願意就範嘅人, 所以有時候會去超市買啲嘢然後"偷渡"入戲院, 平好多㗎喂!! 咁我想知喇, 大家有冇做過又或者仲係做緊類似動作呢?? 呵呵~~ :D

if you were born before the 90s, i bet you remember those old style cinemas back then, where we could freely bring anything we like to eat and drink into the cinema.. so there were all kinds of crackers and kuaci, there were drinks packed in plastic bags tied with a nylon string, there were cut fruits sprinkled with asamboi in plastic bags, there were burgers with eggs and dripping chili sauce wrapped in papers, there were boxes of fried chicken etc.. of course with the modern cineplexes nowadays, to ensure the comfort of all patrons, we are only allowed to bring in limited types of food and beverages sold at the cinema counters.. being malaysians we are so pampered to have quite a variety of choices from popcorn to chips to hotdogs to fishballs, but i would strongly suggest fishballs to be banned because they really smell horrible inside the cinema!! hate the neighbours having them really, are you watching movie or having your picnic??!! on another note, we know that's the monopoly strategy in which the cinema force us to buy more expensive food and beverages.. i am one patron who is so not willing to pay the extras, so at times i just "smuggle" things bought from supermarket (which is so much cheaper) into the cinema.. by the way, how many of you did that or still do that?? hahaha~~ :D
