What's the policy on bringing raw materials and making it in the theater? It's not technically outside food and is prepared on the premises.

Thinking a hibachi stove or an electric blender.

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

How big are your cargo shorts? You think no one is going to mind you chefing it up during trailers?
