Though I often steer clear of Whole Foods, I occasionally find myself drawn in, much like someone might be lured into a high-end boutique. Here are the 14 thoughts that race through my mind during these unexpected excursions.
- Wow, the selection of global cuisines here is impressive! From frozen pad see ew to gourmet Caribbean treats, it’s like a culinary world tour in one store.
- Is this place as massive as Ikea? I’m feeling overwhelmed and tossing random items into my cart. Do I genuinely need another step stool? And what on earth is Borsari, and why is it $5.99?
- Perky Jerky has just caught my eye; it’s a must-have now!
- Why are there so many bacon options? Help! Here comes my Bearded Guide-Hipster to save me.
- Do they have a set designer for this place? Everything is impeccably arranged—banana bunches hang from hooks, and the fish looks like it just auditioned for a role.
- A family dinner of yucca fries and a hand-churned cheese Danish sounds just fine.
- Those artisanal Caribbean snacks are irresistible. Goodbye, $40.
- How are the tomatoes here so perfect when they’re not in season? What kind of diabolical deal have they made with Australia?
- What exactly can I create with Borsari? The label suggests I use it like pepper—should I be excited or concerned?
- The true issue with my six-pack consumption of chocolate pudding isn’t whether it’s organic.
- Do they enlist every artist in Vermont to illustrate these farm scenes? Each package features a farm, a baby, or a rainbow.
- Low-fat Veganaise must taste awful if it’s that far removed from mayonnaise, right?
- My mom definitely didn’t need 30 varieties of salt to whip up a meal.
- I’ve just dropped $120 here, and I still need to swing by Trader Joe’s.
