These teens had the most unusual approach to smuggling snacks into the cinema

These days the price of food in the cinema is just extortionate.

The last time I went to see a film I paid nearly €10 for a small bag of popcorn and a drink. It's total MADNESS. It's a real nightmare considering that cinema staff never let you bring your food from home into the screen, so what is a hungry girl who wants to see a film to do? What indeed. One girl, Priscilla Banuelos, and her friends Alyssa Lopez, Angie Silveira, and Amador Costa, went to their local cinema in California in the US. Priscilla Feeling peckish but wanting to do their cinema trip on the cheap, the group of girls decided to take food matters into their own hands when going to see their film. The clever gang decided to bring in their favourite fruit to watch the film by taping it to their stomachs. Yes, really. Making a joke inspired by makeup artist Bretman Rock, the students had a giggle filling scooped-out watermelons with snacks to munch on.
