No. This is about as much world news as some of the drivel in here. But this is more entertaining:

REUTERS- Citing widespread disregard for its “no outside food and beverages” policy and numerous instances of candy-related disruption, GKC theaters announced Thursday that they will install candy detectors at the entrances of their 25 movie theaters.

The walk-through detectors will alert theater staff to a patron concealing contraband snacks.

Wow, how ridiculous.

Quote:
“Unit price, we pay $.39 for Goobers. We sell them for $7.50, that’s quite a profit margin,” he said. “If we get those candy sales back up, the detectors will pay for themselves.”


I wonder why people bring their own snacks and candies in? Because theaters and other such places charge ridiculous prices. Installing a detector for something so meaningless as a couple of snacks is absolutely insane.

However, quite a funny story. Nice find gonzo.
