As we all know, it can be very expensive to purchase food at a movie theater.
Those establishments totally jack up the prices on drinks, popcorn and candy.
That’s why teenagers Priscilla Banuelos, Alyssa Lopez, Angie Silveira and Amador Costa decided to go a different route during an excursion to the Galaxy movie theater in Riverbank, California.
They snuck food into their film by hiding it under their shirts and pretending it was a baby bump.

AWWWW!
They’re all expecting! Not really, but they successfully fooled plenty of fellow movie goers on this day.
The Preparation
Priscilla took Twitter followers behind the scenes of her preparation for the fake pregnancy. This photo has been Liked over 36,000 times.
Watermelon Bellies!
“I was getting so many stares, it was ridiculous,†Banuelos told BuzzFeed News. “Even some people came up to us and said, ‘Oh, what’s the gender.'”
So… Much… Watermelon
The girls ran into a slight issue when it was time to leave the theater, as Banuelos explains: “There weren’t any trash cans in the movie theater, and I wasn’t about to walk out with a huge watermelon.”
OOPS!
“We did not leave a sticky mess or anything like that,” Banuelos told BuzzFeed, although another Twitter user replied to Banuelos’ original thread and claimed he was one of the theater employees who had to clean the mess up.
Mixed Opinions
Some folks on Twitter took issue with the girls’ prank, mostly saying it was poor form to actually fake a pregnancy. But others, like the person featured here, had their back (and their bumps!).
Others Were Jealous
Don’t beat yourself up too much over it. Not many folks would think to use a watermelon as a pretend baby bump.
A Larger Message
The girls told Buzzfeed that they are going their separate ways in the fall, heading off to college. So this was one final chance to share an amazing experience together.
