Well at least they make the healthy stuff look appealingI didn’t have any the first visit… the second visit, I wasn’t so strongWho knew there were this many flavours.You can’t buy crabs in our deliThis is what I did for Val Day last year!Oh my, any wonder I made it back aliveMmmmYes, I’d like those tooNever seen an ice cream version of these
WHAT THE? But you know, I wanted to try them.The choice!?!?I want one – these are in grocery storesWe seldom even find normal pretzels in Australia, but then all these choices!So little, so sweetWhat the… it’s a thing, I found outI want these!Cute… though I believe out of season…Equal opportunities cake makersThis is obscene – and so not that practical as a catering item, as it was pitched
What is this…?That is not for human consumption is it?so much choiceno no no
Sweet with savoury – this combo is too weirdWow… and so cheapWow, when powdered mash is just too hardright…
What’s the weirdest thing in this post for you, or the weirdest thing you’ve seen sold in a grocery store?

Oh my!!! The choice. There's some I'd love to try (and probably go for seconds and thirds) and some I could never bring myself to try. Squeezy cheese! Chocolate potato chips!
The squeezey butter (I think?) sorta grossed me out, I have to say. Everything I photographed, save for the waffles in the case, I didn't eat. I've learnt that photos save me from acquiring!
Ha! So Canada doesn't escape all the US tatt! I'm generally not keen on margarine, much less in liquidish form ewwww I'd have liked to try all the desserts I saw, but there just wasn't room in my stomach!
So many choices! I'll be honest I was a little overwhelmed by some of the prepackaged stuff.
That being said, the whole pancake or waffle and sausage combo? Surprisingly delicious. Ditto for the chocolate covered potato chips, but I've only had them once.
Hahaha at least you admit to the pancake sausage thing being delicious – but then again, most things sell for a reason, and it's largely taste! I'm sort of kicking myself I didn't try a packet of choc dipped potato chips, surely I could have found room?
Yes, I was going to say that Parkay stuff should surely be called margarine and not dignified with the name butter! The choclate covered crisps might actually be nice. Tayto (best manufacturer of crisps in Ireland, with cheese and onion crisps often just called Tayto there) brought out a chocolate bar a couple of years ago – just for a limited time. I bought some as a joke present for someone but then was at home with no chocolate and serious cravings and ate one. It was lovely. It might have something to do with my getting older as well but I thought the saltiness went really well with the sweet.
They sell soup here in packets like the mince above. I always think it look horrible.
True – it's not butter… Gosh your another person making me wish I'd tried those chips! I do enjoy the sweet/salty tang of salted caramel, so these might have worked well. How does soup work in a tube like that!?
Oh wow! Almost makes me sad we aren't getting to the US at the end of this year. We were both keen to just go to a supermarket over there. And Walmart!

Oh my goodness! Most of them made me say, "Oh – yum" buuuut….pancakes and sausage? An unusual combo!
Yeah the pancakes and sausage were like a dagwood dog, but sorta scared me! I'd even seen ads on the TV for them
Is it bad that none of the foods are new or weird for me? haha
I've never seen airplants sold in grocery stores though.
And that Badger brand used to sell a balm that was great for dry, cracked skin. We went through quite a bit in winters.
It's not bad~! I'm sure you'd find Aussie super market shelves quaint and old fashioned perhaps?
I saw a lot of beard oil sold, and started to think it was a 'bespoke' product for boutiques and gift-y stores, but apparently not!
I am saddened by how normal this stuff looks to me. The Parkay Squeeze (margarine) gave me a laugh. The mochi ice cream is really cute, though!

Welcome to my blog Jamie.
Sadly Walmart's were too far from where we were staying to get to by bus etc, but I think i saw more than enough eye opening stuff!
it surprised me too! Seeing those items for the first time
Hahaha… glad to see they aren't weird to just 'foriegners' – even Canadians can find them strange!
