Popcorn is perfect! You don't have to take your eyes off the TV screen as you munch. Whereas chips (MUST have dip for chips!)....you've gotta look at where you are dipping! Pizza is delicious...but a terrible TV snack cause the stuff is so damn greasy you've gotta wash the remote control afterwards......and we don't want stains on the sofa do we!?
Micro wave popcorn sucks (for me). I prefer popping my popcorn the old fashioned way in oil.
I always buy Orville Redenbacher. Best there is! I pop the stuff then dump it into a big bowl....NO BUTTER. I like it dry with some salt and parmesian cheese sprinkled on. :banana:
With chips I love French onion dip. I just have to someday find a recipie for making my own. Just ain't enough in those tiny cans.
Nope...I just can't get into a movie without a snack. Makes me weird don't it?

Plus, the microwave smells for the next three days after the fact. Orville Redenbacher works best for me too. Moderate butter and a light combo of Lawry's & garlic salt (Also by Lawry's).
Very simple onion dip recipe:

Hmmmm, I kinda like chips. BBQ and a cold Pepsi. For a change I'll go with white curds or chocolate covered almonds. :thmbsp:
But to keep in the line of this post I say chips cause you dont have to pop it. I am just to damn lazy so grabbing a bag of chips and giving it a pull open saves many a minutes and allows me more time to adapt to my couch. :yes:

Popcorn for me... but I prefer the microwaveable kind over the "old fashion" kind. :yikes:
Worse thing for me is a one pound bag of Peanut M&Ms! :thmbsp:
I'll eat the whole darn bag before I know what happened! :thmbsp:

Wise potato chips. The industry standard.

Popcorn. Why? Because chips act like warped playing cards and don't go as far when you throw 'em at the TV screen. With popcorn you've at least got half a chance to hit your target.

Pizza rolls, as long as you let them cool a bit so you don't fry your tongue ;)

If you fry your tongue,drink a glass of milk it will neutralize the burn.

I didn't know Rotel was in the snack food business! :D
I like hard pretzels with cream cheese spread on 'em.

Well, they do say some companies are diversifying. :dunno: I've seen these in my local markets but never tried 'em.

Air-popped Orville Reddinbacher with a butter parmesean mixture tossed through it and a nice cold Moxie (http://www.bdragon.com/moxie/moxie.shtml) and Jack for me.

Used to be a couple of bong hits :nutz: and then whatever I could find to eat. Cheese, crackers and peperoni or some sort of sausage type stuff. Plus chips and salsa. Wash it down with root beer or even real beer :beer: .
