Staff of TGV Cinemas made the trip down to the concourse from the concession counter upstairs at TGV Sunway Pyramid to sell popcorn and soft drinks 31 May – Food is an essential item at any ordinary bazaar, so when the organisers of the biggest movie-themed event of the year were planning for Movie Carnival 2009, they were not about to forget the hungry and thirsty revellers who will throng Sunway Pyramid for 10 days straight. That is why TGV Cinemas set up a retail booth in between the Orange and Blue Atrium to cater for visitors who are looking for a quick bite when they are browsing through all the various booths and moving attractions. It was particularly amusing for curious onlookers when movie characters from the various costumed outfits at the carnival were seen buying and eating popcorn in their full costumes.
Baskin Robbins are also at Movie Carnival, selling their famous creamy, handpacked ice-creams. If you don't already know, 31 is the magic number for Baskin Robbins, who always have promotions in some form or another on the 31st of every month. Visitors cashed in on their 31% discount available yesterday at Movie Carnival for every purchase of a pint of a quart of the creamy stuff. Registering yourself at the Movie Carnival information booth will also get you discount coupons, with the 31st entry getting a special treat. Movie Carnival is on now at Sunway Pyramid until 7 June 2009, from 10am to 10pm daily. For more information and pictures, please logon to www.moviecarnival.com.my.
