Spooky or splatter?
Huuuge difference!

Basically this, and this also leads to the only exception to the "not-buying-snacks" rule that I have:
In our town there is a small independent cinema (besides the big chain one), that has a little pub/cafe attached.
I make a point in coming early or meeting way before the film start and order a drink at the bar or so. Just feels right (and also is fun somehow).

To add a different kind of unpopular opinion:
I hate the whole popcorn munching in cinemas, so I applaud everyone who sneaks in their own stuff, as that won't be popcorn.

Besides that, cinema halls are practically never full, so the cinema earns practically 100% of my entry price without loosing anything (as the seat I sit on doesn't care if it is occupied or empty).

I never buy snacks, but I also don't sneak anything in.
I don't understand the whole obsession with eating tons of stuff while watching a film in public. I think that is a really strange urge that many seem to have.

Nope, contains both, checked Wikipedia:

The beans contain theobromine, and between 0.1% and 0.7% caffeine, whereas dry coffee beans are about 1.2% caffeine.

TIL: Cocoa contains a significant amount of caffeine...

Das ist Kunst!
Regt zum Nachdenken an und Alles. Bin begeistert!

AWS root beer

Googled that and only found A&W root beer. Did you mean that? Is it good?

chinotto

Didn't know that either, but actually sounds good somehow. Also added to the Want-To-Taste-It-List. :-)

Survival of the fittest.

Yes, 2/3 of the wooden cutting boards I put in became unusable after a few washes or so.

But totally worth it finding that remaining 1/3 of tough ones that are now making life sooo much easier.

The beverage may also available in the UK, but maybe under an different name.

From Wikipedia:

sarsaparilla remains available in the United Kingdom as a legacy of the temperance movement.

Thanks for the Sarsaparilla tip. As this is in some form also available in East Asia, I may have a chance finding it in an asia market, of which we have lots around here!

Thanks for the tip, but I don't think I can be picky here.
Honestly, I would be really surprised if they had root beer at all.
It is really exotic niche stuff, outside of die-hard ST-fans generally not known...

For a long time I thought it to be just a made up thing, like Saurian Brandy or so.
But I would like to at least taste it once. Must ask at our local US store if it has some...
