GOING TO THE cinema is fun. Paying approximately €3bn for popcorn and drinks is not. So what’s a movie lover to do? Well, you could do this.

These three friends from California are going very viral after they pretended to be pregnant to sneak their snacks into the cinema.

Ah here.

The girls encountered a bit of a problem after the film was over, when they realised there were no bins and they couldn’t just walk out with watermelons in their hands.

They left the watermelons in the cinema – and after their tweet about the prank went viral, it was spotted by the staff member tasked with cleaning them up.
