CASE FILE: CONCESSION CONFUSION

Mission Log

Authorities are investigating a suspicious $33 transaction at a local movie theater.

No luxury goods were recovered. No dinner reservations were found.

Just nachos and a glass of wine.

The Discovery

The investigation began when a routine concession purchase produced a receipt requiring immediate examination.

Initial reports suggested dinner.

It was nachos.

Further investigation revealed the incident occurred during happy hour, raising serious questions about what exactly everyone was supposed to be happy about.

The Investigation

Evidence recovered from the scene included nachos, one glass of wine, and a receipt totaling $33.

Nearby, investigators discovered another option quietly sitting behind the concession counter:

A $6 pretzel.

The witness was confronted with this information.

There was a long silence.

Feathered Thought

Movie theaters have somehow perfected an economic system where spending $33 on snacks feels completely unreasonable until the lights go down.

Then suddenly you're holding a small popcorn like you refinanced the house for it.

Final Note

After reviewing the evidence, the witness offered one final statement:

“Should’ve stuck with the pretzel.”

Duck-9 immediately recorded the testimony.

Best lead we’ve had.

CASE STATUS: Financially devastating. Technically delicious.

Report filed.
