Movie dates 101

 Whether you're going with your partner, friend or family, movie dates can be a huge temptation to break a liquid fast or to binge. I go to the movies with my bestfriend at least once a month, so i know how to survive them without going over board, this are my 101 surviving tricks for movie dates:

1. "Sodas make my tummy hurt": 

You can mention you're unwell in the car, just a casual "That curve made me sick" or just wait until the line to throw the bomb "I don't feel like having soda, my stomach is kinda upset today", most cinemas offer ice teas (full of sugars but usually better it's a better option), diet sodas and water, pick your poison. Just stay away from regular soda.

 If it's the first time following Ana's advice and you're scared of your victim getting suspicious you can alway throw the "I tried diet coke last week, and i liked it more, tastes less sugary", yk? There's no excuses, i'll find you something to say.

2. "Wanna share?":

 "Imma get a small, unless you wanna share a medium?" give them the option, it makes them feel on control of the situation. But NEVER go empty handed, it's the most obvious red flag if you've always had a snack during the movies.

3. "Let me hold that":

 Offer to hold the box or packages, keep them on the middle so they can reach and every now and again grab a handfull,you can always place it back in when they're distracted; i have been able to do this eating just 5 o 6 throught the movie, that way they hear you chewing, greenest flag ever. 

 Every now and again put the box down, like you're just getting comfortable or putting on a jacket, move it away from them for just a few seconds, there's not much secret to this besides showing their unconscious brain that you're comfortable around the food.

4. "Upps i spilled":

 Your ring fell, you're putting on a jacket, your shoe is untied...there's a million ways to "accidently" hit the popcorn and spill a little, don't go over board they might still wanna have some.

 

 My favorite way is to put on a jacket when we are half way through, you can knock it or place it in the seat beside you and "upps...i spilled", most of the time they take it with humor.

 Picking up the few that didn't go to the floor is also a great way to seem comfortable around the food, like you don't wanna waste it. And the "I feel bad for the cleaner" also adds a second layer to your fake guilt.

5. "It's just melted ice":

 Before the movie ends ask for a sip of their drink "Do you mind? Mine is just melted ice", i swear by this. You drank your sweet sugary cals way to fast and now everything that's left is the melted ice...how sad, hopefully they let you get some of theirs. Even if you don't actually swallow but acting like you do is enough to fool the untrained eye.

6. "Do you want it? I might take it home...":

 Oh my, there's popcorn left, who would have thought..."Do you want the rest? No? i'll take it home is over half full..", give them 🎀control🎀 to trick they cal addicted minds. If it's too little to care you can throw in the "It's just the bottom, i might aswell throw it, they will be soggy tomorrow either way",  because it's true, they will go soggy and you'll throw the anyways, so if they don't want them, throw them; they will become a temptation you have to purge tomorrow night.

 That was all my tricks angels, but lil tip, don't use them all every time they will get suspicious real quick.
