Blockbuster movies and Weight

I went to Blockbuster last nite and it was amazing how they constructed their checkout system. You literally have to walk thru a maze of huge packages of M&Ms, Skittles, popcorn, Snowcaps and bunches of other stuff. You can not avoid traversing this maze to get to the checkout with your movie. Also, signs imploring you to do the special $14.99 deal..2 movies, larges popcorn, 2 sodas....

Checking out at the supermarkets are a similar challenge of seeing all these great loooking snacks.

Bottom line: Do not go to these places before eating your dinner meal and be stalwart in your decision making NOT to buy any of these things that are so prominently displayed. You can enjoy your movie WITHOUT these high-caloric items and you will live many more years to enjoy those movies!
