Why would you pay a 400% mark up for candy? Especially since every blockbuster was right next to a grocery store?

>>15430580
We only rented and never got the snacks, sadly. Looking back, all of the food items at Blockbuster were massively overpriced so it makes sense. We always walked down to the Mrs. Baird's store and got fried pies though

>>15430612
Some people don't mind paying extra for convenience.

>I see you have selected the popcorn, why not select a soda as well?
>Did you know that if you join the Popcorn Lover club today, you are entitled to a 20% discount on any candy bar?
>Oh, I see you like 3 Musketeers. Why not try some of the Three Musketeers movies currently available?
>That's a great movie. Remember that all movies are also available to buy.

>>15430612
are you too poor to pay for fun and convenience anon?
sad

I always rented horror movies that were way above my age, and you can't go wrong with a box of DOTS

>Beetle Adventure Racing
>GTA Vice City
>Siblings on band trip so I get the PS2 to myself all weekend
Good memories. Too bad I'm bored of video games.

>>15430641
Maybe you should have learned a musical instrument instead of been a NEET

>>15430649
I know how to play the Trombone, friend.

>>15430641
Those aren’t snacks. The thread is about snacks.

>>15430640
Fuck I always forget DOTS and they're even better than Twizzlers.

>>15430621
Yea. Suckers.
>>15430635
It really isn't inconvenient. Go next door, get a deli pizza, a 2 liter of coke, and some candy. Boom that's a friday night movie watching meal.

>>15430580
>Go into the adult section
>Walk out with fifteen vhs pornos of foot fetish videos
>Never break eye contact with the cute high school girl ringing me up

>>15430603

>>15430653
Is it....rusty?

>>15430621
>>15430635
what convenience? 95% of them were in the same strip mall your family grocery shopped twice a week at. were you too poor not to have 20 different snacks at home already?

>>15430664
Time is money. Having to find parking at another store then waiting in line again is retarded. It means that you end up breaking even, anon.

>>15430697
You must be 18+ to post here, now leave.
Blockbuster never had an adult section.

>>15430695
Would you really be making money in that wasted time, or spending it with your family? Or do you not understand what that phrase actually means? Also, like I said, every blockbuster that I ever went to was in a Randalls or Kroger parking lot. You wouldn't need to change spots.

alright son, just this once, you can get a weekly movie

>>15430688
I think the appeal for most was that they were the only place to buy the fuck huge boxes of candy that movie theaters served. If you went to a grocery store or gas station to buy raisinettes all they had were the small boxes, while blockbuster had the giant ones.

>>15430713
>t. Flyover

>>15430711
It wasn't a blockbuster, never had one in my town. It was called rainbow video.

>>15430717
eh yeah you're probably right tbf. you can get fuckhige boxes of candy at any routine grocery store now but I'm probably forgetting that wasn't a thing back then probably

>>15430602
found the virgin

>>15430732
I've heard of them. My choice was Home Video Express, which had everything, including video games. Blockbuster sucked. They're just well known because they were the McDonald's of rentals, inferior, yet everywhere.

>>15430741
Not only are you wrong, but you're revealing your mental illness. Wtf does candy have to do with sexual intercourse?

come home white man

>>15430741
nah red vines are based senpai

what's a red vine?

if so, then pull n peel for me, please.

>>15430711
My blockbuster literally had a Hentai/18+ anime section with Bible Black, lablue girl, night shift nurses, bunch of other stuff.

>>15430946
Cartoons don't count, weeaboo.

>>15430954
Ok

I only remember renting Starfox 64 and Golden007. I fucking sucked at both of those. I was pretty good at PilotWings, though. Snack was sour cream and onion chips. Well, not from Blockbuster.

>>15430977
Why is she holding a dripping dildo?

>>15430994
You idiot that's corn.
It's dripping because country girls make do.

>>15430994
She's not. Her pot-bellied midriff is showing and she's sliding her hand into her pants.

She's a dirty whore.

>>15430580
My nearest blockbuster always had these at the till

Somewhat relevant. I got blasted on a fat spliff and went to Blackbuster as a 15-16 yr old and spent about an hour an half and could not find anything so I saw a direct to video DVD I had never heard of (I think it was called Harder) on the new release wall that had a blurb “seven meets silence of the lands” and i rented it. It turned out to be a soft core gay porno about a gay serial killer and the homosexual detective hunting him. Realized my mistake when the main character was fucking his bf 10 mins in. was a regular at that Blockbuster too and felt real ashamed and stupid because the video boys (and girls) there all knew me

>>15430946
Mine did too. I would always try to go when the one clerk was there who didn't give a fuck that I was obviously 10 and get some sweet hentai to jack it to

>>15430580

>>15430664
We would get a take n bake pizza from a place in the same strip mall. Good times.

>>15431584
I always wondered why Blockbuster never offered any type of frozen/take and bake pizza for sale in their stores along with the usual movie snacks.

>>15432464
Eww. No one wants to have a sleep over with a Lost Boys faggot. Watch something better like Near Dark.

I watched FN and didn't think it was that great. Not bad, but didn't see why it was considered a classic. Must be a generational thing.

they don't sell beer at blockbuster so dad's stopping at the dep anyway

>>15430711
>Blockbuster never had an adult section.

Mine absolutely did. Had the beads in the doorway and everything. I used to think it was an employee only area until I caught my stepdad coming out of there one time.

>>15430580
Hastings was better. Videos, music, and books. Plus the overpriced candy and sodas.
Junior Mints.

In my town we had a little store called Backstage Video. The place was infused with fresh popcorn and the smell of clear plastic VHS cases. Whomever bought the vids to put on the shelves knew what they were doing. By 15 I watched fellini, kubrick, some cinema verite, and even Jerry Springer's UNCUT talk show vids that SHOWED EVERYTHING. Place was awesome and nothing comes close.

>>15435415
>even Jerry Springer's UNCUT talk show vids that SHOWED EVERYTHING.

You must’ve seen some ugly fat naked tits. I hope for your sake you never fapped to such a Jerry Springer vid.

These cavity-inducing sweets were good.

of course you wouldn't know, idiot. flew right over your big head.

>>15431009
lol you fucking ding dong

>>15430893
They’re both red licorice. The difference is that Red Vines are more tube-like. I used to bite off the ends and use them as a straw in a can of Coke to make an ersatz cherry cola. Can’t really do that with Twizzlers; they’re too thick and it’s like sipping thru a coffee stirrer.
Also I think Twizzlers have a wax-like consistency in th e mouth, but YMMV.

>>15431193
Slightly similar story to how I found my video rental place offered NC-17 stuff. I thought I rented a horror movie about witches and Satanism; turned out to be softcore porn. Wasn’t gay though.

I always wanted to try these

>>15434781

The Suffering on PS2, Eurotrip, and a box of Sno-Caps. God, I miss the early 2000s.

>>15438929
I don't give a shit. It was fun when it came out and Reese's Pieces are a good snack pick. Sorry your shit taste didn't make the cut, fagball.

Blockbuster needs to make a return. No one wants to pay for 10 different streaming services.

>>15438943
Go to your local thrift stores and browse the DVDs.

>>15438975
>DVDs

Those things were replaced with blu-rays like 15 years ago, grandpa.

>>15430954
Fuck OFF

>>15438981
BluRays are inferior to HD DVD, and only won the war because the archaic practice of region locking benefited a few greedy CEOs who are all dead today.

>>15430946

Imagine working at a blockbuster and you see one guy rent like 20 pornos.

>>15439295
perfect

>>15439921
Blockbuster never ever once renter pornos. The guy who thinks his blockbuster rented hentai is just massively confused and is thinking his local video store rented porn.

I worked at a local video store. Right next to a supermarket. that guy was 100 percent right it was literally a market strategy. if you ever bought candy or popcorn at blockbuster your parents were essentially niggers with no sense of control.

If you love renting physical media so much, when is the last time you used s redbox? Also, conveniently located right outside your local grocer.

>>15430580

>>15430580
Growing up Blockbuster Video Night was also McDonald's or Pizza Hut Night.

On rarer occasions, KFC Night.

Man I miss this. Just picking something off of netflix or hulu is just boring. I liked going to rent games or movies I know the business model is super outdated but I have lots of good memories of the movie rental place in my town so I miss those good comfy years of renting movies and games with my family.

>>15439943
I was using redbox up until covid hit actually. I noticed they got rid of the machine and replaced it with a key making one.

My granddad would always get these and it was his and he would never let anyone have any unless I was watching a movie with him then he would share them.
