Brilliant Things About Germany No.223

The KINO.

As in Cinema.

Or, more precisely - the cinema candy bar.

Not because it's more reasonably priced than those in other countries (because, just like other countries- it most definitely is not!), nor because it has such a great range of snacks (although the nachos with guacamole or cheesey dip rate a mention), but rather- BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY GROG to drink while you watch the movie.

Even when it's an afternoon viewing of Der Mund Bär.
Or should that be - especially when it's an afternoon viewing of Der Mund Bär!

That is very sad that people cannot go to the piccies without booze! and can you eat guacamole?
Wow. Considering the main ingredient is avacado.

It's not that people can't go to the piccies without booze- it's more that they have the option to have booze IF they choose (without having to smuggle it in an oversized bag...)

& Nah - I STILL can't eat guacamole- godammit! (Am a purist anyway when it comes to movie snacks... has to be popcorn, really.)
