Despite my best efforts to steer clear of Whole Foods, I occasionally find myself ensnared in its aisles, much like one might unexpectedly be drawn to a high-priced dress in an upscale boutique. Here are the 14 internal conversations I have with myself during these visits.
- Wow, Whole Foods showcases an impressive variety of international foods, from frozen pad see ew to gourmet Caribbean snacks. This feels like an immersive cultural experience.
- Is this place designed by Ikea? It’s overwhelming. I’m feeling anxious as I toss random items into my cart. Do I really need another step stool? And what on earth is Borsari, priced at $5.99?
- Perky Jerky? I’ve never tried it, but now it’s an absolute necessity.
- There are just too many bacon options here. I could use some guidance. Ah, here comes my Bearded Guide-Hipster!
- Is there a creative director for this store? Everything is so meticulously arranged. The bananas are hung individually. Did the produce unionize for premium display?
- A perfect dinner for a family of four? A carton of yucca fries paired with a hand-churned cheese Danish sounds delightful.
- These artisanal Caribbean snacks are enticing. Well, there goes $40!
- Tomatoes aren’t in season. How are theirs so vibrant? What sort of unholy agreement have they made with Australia for these tomatoes?
- What exactly can I create with Borsari? The label suggests using it like pepper.
- The issue with consuming six packs of chocolate pudding isn’t about whether it’s organic or not.
- Are all the packages illustrated by every artist in Vermont? Each one features a farm, a baby, or a rainbow.
- Low-fat Veganaise must taste like glue, given how far it strays from mayonnaise.
- I doubt my mother needed thirty types of salt to prepare a meal.
- I’ve just shelled out $120 here, and I still need to swing by Trader Joe’s.
