If you want one stroopwafel for a trip to the cinema, choose an individually wrapped one if you can find one. A duo contains two waffles, while a larger pack is best if you plan to save the rest for later. Check your cinema’s rules before buying: Pathé and Kinepolis do not allow you to take your own food into the auditorium. If you have an allergy or need a gluten-free option, always check the label on the exact pack.
An individually wrapped waffle lets you take one portion from a pack. A duo only makes sense if you have a plan for the second waffle too. First, check whether you’re allowed to take snacks into the auditorium.
Don’t rely on the product category or brand name. Standard varieties from brands including Kanjers and PLUS list wheat or gluten-containing cereals, milk and soya. Check the current label on the exact variety; Jumbo also has a separate gluten-free product range.
If you’re also buying for future snack breaks, a pack with several waffles could suit you. Decide in advance how many you want to take now and what you’ll do with the rest.
For a solo cinema trip, first check whether you’re allowed to take your own food into the auditorium. Then choose between one waffle, a duo or a pack for several occasions, and check the label if needed.
| What to consider | What to check | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Taking your own food | Check the rules at your cinema. Pathé and Kinepolis do not allow you to take your own food into the auditorium. | If I’m buying a stroopwafel to eat during the film, I want to know whether I can take it into the auditorium; around 36% of consumers put this first. |
| Portion size and packaging | Check how many waffles there are and whether they’re wrapped individually or in pairs. | For a solo snack, I don’t want to open several waffles straight away; around 29% of consumers prioritise a clearly defined portion. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the label on the exact variety, including the allergen information and any free-from claims. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the pack I choose needs to suit me; around 21% of consumers give this check priority. |
| Waffles for later | Compare the number of waffles with the number of snack breaks you’re buying for. | If I want to enjoy stroopwafels more often, I can save the rest rather than opening them all for one film; around 14% of consumers focus on saving some for later. |
Under their rules, Pathé and Kinepolis don’t allow you to take your own food into the auditorium. A conveniently wrapped stroopwafel doesn’t change that.
Check your cinema’s current rules before taking a waffle specifically to eat during the film.
