Of Movies and Travel

So what is common between movies and travel? Hogging... Yeah well food and lots of it!
I remember the time when as kids, during the vacations we used to travel to my grandmom's place. The journey used to be by train and it would take us 4 and a 1/2 to 5 hours of travelling to reach Mumbai from Pune - yeah just that and I'm not even talking of long distance travel!
It used to be a big event - along with our clothes and stuff required for the entire 2-3 months we used to spend at granny's, there used to be one bag full of goodies to munch on. We used to usually board the 6 O'clock Sinhgad Express. In about an hour, some of the munchies used to come out of the bag. By the next hour, the train pantry department used to start sending out breakfast and the smell of it, made everybody want it. In another hour's time we used to reach the Karjat station where we just had to have the famous 'Batata Wada'. We would find that invariably spicy (but in spite of that we couldnt miss it!) and then to pacify ourselves - there use to be the biscuits or the chocolates. Next some tea/coffee or cold drinks and by the time all this wrapped up, it was time to descend and proceed for home.
Same was (and still is) with the movies - you sit in the theater and within half an hour of the movie starting, you can hear packets opening, and the crunch crunch crunch sounds surrounding you. There is popcorn which is like the must have for movies. Then during intervals - samosas or sandwich and later coke/coffee.
I wonder how did we then (and even now) managed to eat so much in that span of 3-4 hours! I believe mom too must've had this bothering her as she used to have a tough time otherwise to even make us drink a glass of milk before packing us off to school!
