<>You need an ID to buy milk duds.<>
Yep — theatregoers used to throw them at the screen during corny scenes and they would stick — which made them the UFO of choice.
The theatre would have to scrape them off after the show — which was a pain.
Some theatres then decided not to sell them anymore.
But movie goers would then just stop by the store before the movie and smuggle them in — kind of conceal and carry.
Later they began to sell them again but raised the price considerably to discourage tossing them at anybody or anything.
When a milk dud costs you 50 cents you are more likely to eat it than throw it.
Whatever the price, throwing even one Milk Dud away seems a sacrilege.
