If eyes are windows to the soul, what was left behind in the grocery stores after coronavirus panic buying are windows to what Americans wont eat even in extreme circumstances.
People began sharing pictures on social media of what items were left behind after the shopping surge. The foods such as cauliflower crust pizza or chocolate hummus and the empty shelves once stocked with more appetizing foods are juxtaposed.
Carrot spirals were unpopular enough that Twitter users from different Trader Joes locations shared their pictures of the same stacked up boxes.
Chocolate and buffalo hummus were also left behind, confirming that the flavored hummus debate hasnt been settled.
Vegan and plant-based can be seen in proportions that appear recently stocked.

AMEN to that and also the grocery store workers of every kind!
However, little clams kept the survivors of the Whaleboat Essex alive, until they turned to more exotic fare. (Eyew)
Yes. There have been quite a few articles about Grocery Workers being more important than movie stars and sports heroes.
May they be blessed with health and strength during these interesting times.
I like their small bottles because they are heavier plastic and don't collapse in your hand. Some bottled water bottles are so thin that they feel like they're going to tear apart when you twist the lid.
DVDs seem to come and go. I think you can always find something worth watching among the DVDs. The prices are certainly right!
I’ve always preferred the Manhattan clam chowder when I was a kid. Not that I don’t love a good regular clam chowder, but if it’s from a can...
AMEN to that!
That Progresso soup is really bad.
TP, liquid bleach, disinfectant wipes, nitrile gloves, face masks.
I have bad allergies, and blow my nose many times per day, all year. Usually, I don’t know whether I’ve got a cold or the cats, birds or tulip trees are just getting to me - it’s all the same in terms of symptoms and paper usage.
I’ve learned that it’s cheaper to use toilet paper than any other paper product, for this application. I suspect that I’m not the only one in this position.
(Apologies for TMI.)
It’s a Coca-Cola product. It’s the water they use to make Coke.
I worked for a Pepsi bottler/distributor for 11 years, so Dasani sucks. Aquafina is where it’s at.
With that said, I buy the 40-bottle packs of Great Value (Walmart store brand) water. It’s purified by reverse-osmosis filtration and tastes great to me. It’s around $3.80 for what adds up to 5 1/4 gallons of water per 40-bottle package, in 1/2-liter bottles. I keep 8-10 packages (42-52 gallons of water) on hand.
We live in the country and get our water from a well, so if the electricity goes out we have no water. I like to be prepared somewhat at least. I drink a bottle or two daily and replace and rotate the cases as I use them.
There isn't decent clam chowder on the market, sin SNOW'S was bought out and BROOKBINDERS folded! And nobody is importing any of the BAXTERS soups from England anymore, so there's no good French onion soup to be had, unless one makes it from scratch.
My grandmother used to make clam chowder ( both New England and Manhattan ) from scratch, which I guess I'll have to do too, now...except she left no recipes for either. :-(
You really can't cook it. It's crappy fish. Bought it twice yrs ago. Never again
And maybe not even then.
Well, I can’t even imagine it with tomatoes in it.
But then again, I am the daughter of a Gloucester Fisherman, so White Cream Clam Chowder was the mainstay of my childhood!
So I may be prejudiced.
You are right about the can, though.
I went to the local Kroger a week ago at about 5:30 on a Friday. Place had generally been picked over by locusts. But there in an end cap coffin freezer was a pretty good panoply of Beyond Meat products. Beyond Sausage, Beyond Hamburger, etc. It was pretty darn funny.
It flies off the shelves.
Tiliapia has a high amount of bad Omega-6 fats. Salmon has much more good Omega-3s and much less Omega-6. Stay away from Tilapia!
I would not be surprised if a lot of that stuff is, right now, in some politician’s garage.
Bottled water has to be produced from an approved public water source. “Public” meaning a source that serves more than just your own family.
So yeah, bottled water is basically tap water.
