Went to Star Wars 3 at the thearte yesterday, and I figured I woudl aviod anything they make there as to much trouble, so I asked to see thier candy so I could check the ingredients. The Snickers, the milkway, the milkyway dark... all of it said Wheat Flour. :( So I gave up and got a Coke instead.

I guess not all Snickers are gluten-free? I thought it would be....glad I checked. :o

Wow, so did I. I am completely shocked. I must remember to check labels when i go to the theater from now on. I wonder why they would have that on their labels but the ones in the market doesnt?

No... snickers are not all gluten-free if you check the infredients lists, there are a few that have gluten in them

Well this was "plain snickers" just like the bars you get in the stores, not a facny flavor. The only difference was it was litte bite sized ones in a bag instead of full size bars. Same with the other candy.

That's interesting... maybe the bite sized ones are made with wheat and the regular sized ones aren't?

Do you mean the poppables? I think those always have gluten. Or the mini Snickers that are half of the fun size or 1/4 of a regular bar and are individually wrapped?

Yea Coulter I don't think the poppable ones are gluten free either.

I know the full size ones are gluten free....maybe it is different with sizes though...this is an example of how important it still is to double check a label

Maybe I'm henious--I know it !! But, I always bring my own candy to the movies, and just buy their drinks. Sometimes we'll bring like 4 different kinds with us. Hmm, at Star Wars two weeks ago I think I brought sweet tarts, skittles, reeces pieces and peanuts ! Its a good time to carry a big purse--or see a movie with someone who has one ! :lol:

And bring a dining card or something so if someone stops you about your food, you can explain it to them and even if it's not entirely true, say you can't eat the food they have or weren't sure if they had gluten-free food. ;)

I didn't realize that the poppables weren't gluten-free. Yikes!! I use to eat those all the time ~ didn't bother reading the label. Thanks for the "wake up" about getting too relaxed!!

I do it too and I don't feel bad at all with what they freaking charge for that stuff! $5 for a pop! :blink:

I even have a purse I switch my stuff to just to be able to fit more in! :lol:

Coulter--nice idea on the card...I think I have some in my wallet. I haven't been caught yet! And its no wonder I do that, because my growing up my mom and dad would carry in a big ol' bag of popcorn to movies too. (My mom's purse is HUGE!!) :lol:

Nice Abby--sometimes I will empty my purse out before I put in the candy. (Not to get off the subject !) but can I say I resisted carrying a 'big/bigger' purse for a long time, and eventually all my intestinal issues won out and I had to upgrade to have room for all the food I had to carry around with me. I eat like every 2 hours at least I think! :P

Oh, and on candy...anyone try the new Reeces Pieces with nuts? Like peanut M&Ms? Woo hoo they're good... !

I was doing some research on candies for my daughter. I found that most "miniature" candies are NOT gluten-free. Like the bags of hersheys miniature bars are not gluten free, even if the regular big bars are. Also, popables are not. I don't know why when things are made in the smaller version they aren't gluten-free even if the regular size is gluten-free. But that's how it is. :(
